Seacoast Press is accepting manuscripts for review through the remainder of Q3 and Q4 2026. Recognized as a top hybrid book publisher, the company works with selected authors seeking professional publishing, distribution, and book marketing support while maintaining ownership, creative control, and strong royalty potential.<\/div>\n

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. – September 1, 2026 – <\/strong>Seacoast Press, an award-winning hybrid book publisher based in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, announced that it is currently reviewing manuscripts from authors interested in publishing during the remainder of the third quarter and throughout the fourth quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n

Founded by USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author J.J. Hebert, Seacoast Press provides professional book publishing and marketing services to authors throughout the United States. The company combines many of the professional services traditionally associated with established publishing houses with an author-focused hybrid publishing model.<\/p>\n

Seacoast Press has received growing recognition within the publishing industry. In May 2026, business coach and author Robin Waite featured the company in an article titled “Seacoast Press Review: A Top Hybrid Book Publisher to Elevate Your Literary Dreams.” The publisher was also recently ranked No. 3 on Big News Network’s 2026 list of the Best Hybrid Book Publishers.<\/p>\n

The recognition follows earlier praise from Foster’s Daily Democrat, where contributor Hilary Tetenbaum referred to Seacoast Press as the “top independent book publisher in New Hampshire.”<\/p>\n

Manuscript Reviews Underway for Fall 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the final months of 2026 approaching, Seacoast Press is currently reviewing manuscripts for available publishing opportunities during the remainder of Q3 and Q4.<\/p>\n

Unlike publishing platforms that require authors to manage much of the process themselves, Seacoast Press provides authors with access to a professional publishing team. Depending on the publishing program selected, services can include professional editing, custom book cover and interior design, print and ebook production, worldwide distribution, publicity, social media promotion and book marketing.<\/p>\n

Seacoast Press distributes books through Ingram and offers publishing programs in which authors can retain their publishing rights, maintain creative control and receive 100% of their royalties.<\/p>\n

“We continue to hear from authors who have finished their manuscripts but aren’t interested in navigating the publishing process entirely on their own,” said J.J. Hebert, founder of Seacoast Press. “Our goal is to provide those authors with the professional team and infrastructure necessary to bring a book to market while still allowing them to retain ownership and meaningful control over their work.”<\/p>\n

A Hybrid Alternative for Authors<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hybrid publishing has become an increasingly visible alternative for writers seeking professional publishing support without following the conventional literary-agent and traditional-publishing route.<\/p>\n

Seacoast Press evaluates prospective projects before moving forward and works with authors across a variety of fiction and nonfiction categories.<\/p>\n

Because the company maintains a limited production schedule, manuscript reviews for the remainder of Q3 and Q4 2026 are being conducted based on available publishing capacity.<\/p>\n

Authors with completed or substantially completed manuscripts are encouraged to contact Seacoast Press<\/a> to discuss their projects and determine whether the company’s publishing model is an appropriate fit.<\/p>\n
