MFA Print celebrates its next milestone — purchasing 100 ISBNs to power two years of new books, reprints, and creative editions. A bold step for a small press whose stories keep writing themselves.
Most indie authors buy a single ISBN. Some, a cautious block of ten.
We bought one hundred.
It wasn’t a whim — it was simple arithmetic (and a hint of faith). Ten cost £174. A hundred cost £374.
At that point, the question wasn’t “Can we afford it?” but “Can we afford to stop?”
At our current rhythm — a new title every month in two formats, plus reprints, hardbacks, teaching editions, and illustrated versions — those hundred ISBNs will last about two years. After that, we’ll need another block.
This purchase quietly marks the moment MFA Print became a true publishing house:
steady, creative, and planning for the long haul.
Because every ISBN is a promise — a story waiting to be told.
And somehow, as always, the stories keep writing themselves.
