By Daniel Morgan

London — Independent publishers are expanding global distribution strategies in 2026 as international demand for diverse content grows.

Publishers report increased collaboration with regional distributors and digital platforms.

Industry analysts say advances in logistics and print-on-demand have reduced barriers to expansion.

“Smaller publishers now have tools once reserved for large houses,” said a publishing consultant.

Observers expect global partnerships to play a growing role in the sector.
