ABOUT
THE MCKINLEY PUBLISHING HUB is founded in the Pearl of the Orient: PHILIPPINES. Literally, McKinley is a street name where one of the three founders of the publishing company lives. In the context of Philippine History, “McKinley” are the Filipino Ilustrados who fought for freedom and real progress in the Philippines way back during the colonization era of Spain and America in our land. Ilustrados are the enlightened ones, not necessarily rich but surely educated formally (like Jose Rizal) or self-taught (like Andres Bonifacio or Emilio Jacinto or Josefa Llanes Escoda). They held the “enlightenment torch” to light and lead the way for Filipinos living in the “dark” towards a bright future full of hope.
Fast forward to now, 2021 which is a century hence plus some more decades after Rizal, Bonifacio, and Escoda. There is this new batch of self-published-Ilustrados again. Don Luman-ag, Dexter Amoroso, and Eureka Cambonga Bianzon Robey are these new self-published-Ilustrados. They believe that there is hope in self-publishing not only for the Filipinos but for the whole world. This time, Don, Dex, and Eureka will see to it that they will not be misunderstood (because they are good communicators). This time they will also commit not to fail (because they have a passion for excellence).
Besides, real heroism for them is not to put themselves on top of pedestals but for them to make more heroes of this new revolution in publishing. More heroes advocate the democratization of opportunities and progress in businesses, learning institutions, and in individuals. ALL THESE THROUGH MCKINLEY PUBLISHING HUB. Welcome us as we dynamically adapt so that you all can excel and achieve your dream of becoming a published author.

Why Publish with MPH?
MPH publishes books in two languages, English and Filipino. We prefer poetry books and children’s picture books.
We do, however, occasionally consider memoirs, autobiographies, self-help, literacy fiction, mystery, sci-fi novels, fantasy, and nonfiction books.
MPH is currently accepting submissions via email. If you believe your manuscript would be a good fit for this publishing company, we ask that you include a cover letter with a brief author bio and book synopsis, along with your manuscript. We have a fantastic in-house editorial team who can help with manuscript editing, design, and layout. They are more than happy to work with first-time authors, as well!
We do not offer printing services so far but we are looking forward to expanding our horizons in the near future.
