History

New Harbinger Publications, Inc. was established in 1973. Its founders are Matthew McKay, Ph.D.[1] and Patrick Fanning. McKay and Fanning wanted to create self-help books that taught readers skills they could use to improve their lives.

In December 1999, Fanning resigned as president of New Harbinger to pursue his dream of being a full-time artist and writer. He continues to write books for them.

New Harbinger began distributing its own books in Fall 2003.[2]
