Nu Voice Press, an imprint of Hubhawks founded by CEO Kevin Missal, will make its international debut at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2026, presenting a curated catalogue of Indian voices to global publishers, literary agents, and rights buyers.
When Kevin Missal launched Nu Voice Press, a division of Hubhawks, at the New Delhi World Book Fair in 2023, the vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a publishing home for distinctive voices that deserved to be heard beyond conventional boundaries. The goal was not merely to publish books, but to champion stories that were original, courageous, and often overlooked, giving emerging and established authors alike a platform where their work could find the readers they truly deserve.
“As a debut author myself, I remember dreaming of seeing my work at an international forum like Frankfurt — and that chance never came for me,” said Kevin Missal, CEO of Hubhawks and founder of Nu Voice Press. “So this moment means more to me than I can easily put into words. Frankfurt is where books quietly cross borders and find readers they never thought they’d reach — and I believe new authors deserve to be part of that, not just established names. That’s the door I want to hold open through Nu Voice Press: if you have a story waiting to be told, we’d love to help you carry it all the way to Frankfurt.“
In just a few years, that vision has grown into a thriving publishing imprint. Nu Voice Press has proudly released over 300 books, spanning literary fiction, commercial fiction, memoirs, poetry, children’s literature, self-help, history, mythology, business, and narrative non-fiction. Every title reflects our commitment to discovering meaningful stories, nurturing authors, and publishing books that resonate with readers across genres and generations.
For more than seven decades, the Frankfurt Book Fair has stood at the heart of the global publishing industry. Every year, thousands of publishers, literary agents, rights professionals, booksellers, librarians, media representatives, and authors from over 100 countries come together to discover new voices, negotiate international rights, build partnerships, and shape the future of publishing. It is where stories transcend borders and books begin their global journeys.
Participating in the Frankfurt Book Fair is far more than just exhibiting books, it represents the realisation of a vision that began in New Delhi in 2023: to ensure that unique new voices find a place on the global literary stage. It is an opportunity to introduce our authors and their stories to international publishers, literary agents, translators, booksellers, and readers who are actively seeking fresh perspectives from around the world.
Being represented at Frankfurt significantly expands the possibilities for the titles to gain international recognition. It opens doors to translation and foreign rights opportunities, international publishing partnerships, global distribution, and cross-cultural readerships. More importantly, it provides our authors with visibility on one of the most respected platforms in world publishing, helping their stories travel further than they ever imagined.
As we celebrate this milestone, we are equally excited about discovering the voices of tomorrow. Nu Voice Press is now accepting submissions for new titles across fiction and non-fiction. If you have a story that is original, compelling, and ready to reach readers beyond borders, we invite you to submit your manuscript. The next book that begins its journey with us could very well find its place on the global stage.
From New Delhi to Frankfurt, our mission remains unchanged: to publish exceptional stories and take them to the world.
