“I'm in the editing phase. I didn't want to go all in yet until the editing is done. I got my first round of edits back last week and I'm impressed. There were about 400 changes to my story which sounds like a lot, but it was spread out over 200 pages. Still, if those issues hadn't been identified, my book would be a serious disappointment to readers. I can tell just by the editing that they mean business. They truly want the best version of your book to be available to the public. Not like other “hybrid publishers” that don't spend the time to thoroughly edit, or so I've heard. I'm going to si”

“It seems that a new hybrid publisher is popping up every week. One of the things that was a draw to me about Manhattan Book Group is its connection with JJ hebert and Mariel Hemingway. Most of the other hybrid publishers don't have any identifiable names behind their companies. Call me old fashioned but like to know who I'm working with or last who's behind a company that I'm entrusting my book to.”

“Every week, it seems like there is a new hybrid publisher emerging. The Manhattan Book Group's association with JJ Hebert and Mariel Hemingway is among the elements that drew me in. The majority of other hybrid publishers don't have any well-known brands associated with them. Call me outdated, but I prefer to know the people I'm doing business with or the owners of the company I'm putting my book in the hands of.”

“The majority of the New York City publishers I sent my book to either immediately rejected it or I never heard from them again. Within a few days with Manhattan Book Group, the publishing director got in touch with me and asked for the manuscript. I signed an agreement within a week or so. They take a no-nonsense attitude, which I appreciate.”

— Libbie Koelpin · ★★★★★

“MBG publishers fulfilled their commitment and provided what was stated. This is all very new to me. I think I required a lot more support than I'd like to admit. They were the most useful tool I could have asked for. My group has shown professionalism and support. Let's go on to the next one.”

“I saw the NY Weekly feature and knew immediately that I’d contact them to publish my book. Upon contacting them, they got back to me right away and offered to review my manuscript. It took about 3 days to get their approval and then I was off to the races as they say. Very thankful.”

— Erna Bartell · ★★★★★

“I appreciate that they don’t approve all manuscripts as a hybrid book publisher. Some of the other book publishers in NYC accept everything and anyone who can pay and I feel like there’s a conflict of interest there. Manhattan Book Group Publishers legitimately cares about the content they put out.”

— Delta Aufderhar · ★★★★★

“We weren’t a good fit at the end of the day but J.J. Hebert gave me his time anyway. He talked about alternatives for what I was looking for and he definitely didn‘t have to do that for me. This firm is incredibly knowledgable and kind, a truly valuable member of the literary world. It’s not all about sales to them.”
