Panoma Press Beats the Odds and Celebrates Best Year on Record in 2020
Like many businesses in 2020, Panoma Press and founder Mindy Gibbins-Klein faced a number of challenges that threatened the future of the business. However, the team continued to push forward and ended 2020 with the best year on record, highest gross and net profit ever and publishing 40% more books than forecast. In December 2020 Panoma Press proudly celebrated 15 years in business with more than 400 books published.
An integral part of the Panoma Press ethos is raising the voices of those from traditionally underrepresented groups. In 2019 Panoma Press committed to 80% of their books being written by authors from minority groups. The publishing house met this target and has continued to embed this fundamental value in all their associated businesses and events. Over the course of 2020 Ms. Gibbins-Klein has also been delivering pro bono support through The Book Midwife® to help authors plan and write their books, and 80% of the speakers at the 2nd annual "Above and Beyond Conference" came from traditionally underrepresented groups. said Ms. Gibbins-Klein.
In recognition of the contribution books make to both educating and supporting young children and families, in November 2020 Panoma Press added an exciting children's imprint to its portfolio. The new Panocub imprint made its debut on the 3rd November with , the first in a series of Mind Monster books by Julie Derrick .
