Mabel & Stanley Publishing We treat every book like it’s our own! We are passionate about books and we promise to treat your book baby as if it was our own!

With over 10 years of experience, helping 60+ new authors through every step of the writing, editing, & publishing process, our friendly, approachable team has expertise in a wide range of genres. Personally, I am the published author of 14 books having started my writing career in 2011 and I started Mabel and Stanley Publishing in 2021 after a writing and publishing journey that was full of chal

lenges. My mission...I want to be the person that I needed when I started out - helping new authors to grow and share their words with the world without the many costly hurdles (both financial and emotional!) that I experienced. I found it so hard to get reliable, trustworthy advice and I almost gave up - the writing and publishing world is fraught with difficulty and unscrupulous 'experts'. Mabel and Stanley Publishing now has a growing team and is so proud to have helped over 60 authors to share their stories with the world. We've worked with clients from all over the world; from different backgrounds and experiences, including personalities in television and radio.

Another book in the Mabel and Stanley Hall of Fame! This one is by Jane Carson...

The Cactus Grower's Club.

"When Angie embarked on a new adventure to Dublin, her journey was peppered with sadness and humour, highs and lows; but she could not have foreseen the arrival of a global pandemic... thank goodness for the Cactus Growers' Club!"

The Cactus Growers' Club is a heart warming contemporary story of our time. Angie, a woman in her mid-forties, makes the move from her home in England to a new life in Dublin as a carer in a residential home. Her neighbours become a support network for her and for each other when the COVID pandemic arrives. This is a touching story of how friendship and community can smooth life's prickly path...

Last week, a member said:

“I’d been sitting on my book idea for years. Joining the membership gave me the accountability I needed to start writing again.”

Sometimes it’s not about more knowledge, it’s about the right support, at the right time.

That’s what the Mabel & Stanley Membership is here for.
