The Minnesota Book Publishers Roundtable began more than 25 years ago as a small group of publishing professionals meeting around a restaurant table. Today, MBPR is a diverse group of individuals representing the dynamic publishing community in Minnesota and western Wisconsin.
We seek to:
- Support and promote a strong, vibrant book publishing community in Minnesota
- Foster productive relationships among experts and newcomers to the industry
- Offer engaging opportunities for members of our publishing community to exchange ideas and experience
Membership in the Roundtable is open to book publishers and those in adjacent industries in Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Excellent member benefits include:
