Hello to all the new followers! I'm a startup indie publisher - a small fish in a huge publishing pond - and so I'm always looking for interesting ways to shine a spotlight on our books. I'm so proud to have published this mini stack, but I'm so excited about our new titles too📚 manderleypress.com
Coming soon!

A Lost Classic Reborn: Susan Ertz’s Woman Alive Returns to the Spotlight

Once sidelined in literary history, our new edition of this curious sci-fi dystopian novel is now poised to reclaim its place as a landmark work

Love is in the air at Manderley Press! Thanks for all your support - February is a tricky month for indie businesses but all your orders have put a spring in my publishing step! Happy Valentines Day, in advance! #booksky #valentinesday

I’m chasing away the February blues by arranging books according to the colour of their spines, and then deciding which shades of cloth to choose for next year’s range of titles #bookskk

When January feels like Christmas… Today’s orders include the box set of all five Manderley Press children’s books, which I have wrapped here in gift paper to match the endpapers of our Rosemary Sutcliff kids novel set in Tudor London - The Armourer’s House. Roll on February! 🎁 #booksky

Remember this book (and BBC series)? A new edition of Break in the Sun is coming soon! “Bernard Ashley's great gift is to turn what seems to be low-key realism into something much stronger and more resonant … empathy, compassion, an undimmed thirst for decency and justice.” -Philip Pullman #booksky

Limited edition signed books anyone? We have 5 copies of The Armourer’s House by Rosemary Sutcliff, each with a unique illustrated signature by artist Isabel Greenberg (who also designed the front cover). First come, first served!

Can you guess which colour we chose for the dog in Helene Hanff’s arms, on the front cover of our forthcoming Spring title - Underfoot in Show Business? (Hint: it’s set on Broadway, New York)

Happy 135th birthday to #StormJameson - the brilliant Northern writer whose classic work ‘The Moon is Making’ we will republish this summer. Storm was born and brought up in the Yorkshire fishing haven of #Whitby, where this novel is also set… move over Dracula, there’s a new book in town!

“What she lacked in income she made up for in charm, deadpan humour and outrageous hijinks, all the while meeting a parade of eccentric characters and throwing herself underfoot in show business with unshakeable enthusiasm.”

In case you missed our news..! I am thrilled to announce that Maxine Peake, one of the UK’s best-loved actors, will be introducing our summer title - The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson. This rediscovered novel was inspired by, and set in, the town of Whitby. More info here tinyurl.com/2jajvx9y

As I pause for a few days before launching into what promises to be the busiest of the Manderley Press years so far, I want to thank you for all your messages, orders, support + encouragement.
I can't wait to share more books and connections in 2026 - each inspired by remarkable places + landmarks.

Is there anything better than discovering a snowy bookshop window in a quaint English village after a wintry walk and a warming lunch by the fire?

Starting the year as I mean to on - matching the covers of our books to my favourite cakes 📚X🎂

Book merch alert! The Manderley Press Tote Bag is in production and we expect stock early in the new year. Does this mean we are no longer a fledgling indie press but a fully formed publishing enterprise?!?

A shout out to all those indie businesses out there today - it’s the last UK Christmas posting date and if they’re anything like me it’s all hands to deck!

The thrill of seeing a book you’ve published, on shelves in a favourite bookshop, never ceases to make an indie publisher smile! Thank you @waterstones.bsky.social

Book-wrapping is my bibliotherapy - and so I’m hoping to offer something a little different to readers this Christmas (as a small indie press) - free luxury giftwrap on all books ordered at manderleypress.com. Happy holidays! 📚🎄

We are delighted that our new kids book is included in this gorgeous round up of gifts for curious children - as seen in @theobserveruk.bsky.social today. Whoop! May the festive season begin 🎄📚
