HubPages Joins Maven

HubPages to Be Acquired by Publisher Juggernaut Maven

I have some huge news this week! I'm super excited to announce that HubPages has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Maven, a major online publisher and media network. We are thrilled with the opportunities that this merger holds for us and for authors. We expect HubPages to benefit from increased resources for continued development as well as from Maven's experience with promotion and publicity. You can read the announcement on the HubPages Blog, as well as Maven's announcement on their site.

What Authors Will Need to Know

Here are a few details on the merger that we think are important for authors to know:

• HubPages and Network Sites will continue to exist and authors will continue to earn. In fact, one of our first projects will be to do some work and testing around improving yields.
• Authors will still own their content on HubPages and Network Sites.
• All current HubPages employees, including Paul Edmondson and Paul Deeds are staying onboard, plus we just hired 8 new editors and should be ramping up editing within the next few weeks.
• Some HubPages authors may be invited to become Maven contributors in addition to writing on HP at some point in the future, so this will present an additional opportunity.

We are thrilled to be starting the new year off right with big hopes for the future and new opportunities for our writers. Happy Hubbing!
