This programme takes commitment — from you and from me.
I only take 8 mentees a year, and access isn’t guaranteed. You’ll need to meet agreed benchmarks and show you’re ready to do the work.
Because this isn’t a hobby. It’s a strategic move.
Why should you work with me?
I’ve walked this path, and led many others down it.
I’m a bestselling author, 14-times published, and have mentored and published over 70 new authors (both nationally and internationally) with 18 bestselling books in the last 18 months alone.
With 20 years’ experience in literacy and writing, I bring a teacher’s precision and a publisher’s commercial eye.
I'm an accomplished public speaker on the topic of writing and business book strategy.
My clients include a Paralympic gold medallist, a mindset coach for Premiership footballers, and franchise leaders with over 100 franchisees; all of whom understand the power of a well-placed, strategically written business book.
These are inspirational business people. Entrepreneurs who want to stand out from their competitors, action takers who dare to be different.
As Steven Bartlett says, “If you want to position yourself as a thought leader and thrive in business, you must publish your content.”
Your book is your credibility piece — and with my help, it’ll be one you’re proud to put your name on.

What my clients say
Leela Bassi
BESTELLLING AUTHOR of Beyond the Ice
Working with Karen has been one of the most meaningful parts of my writing journey. She is more than a mentor, coach, or publisher. She has been a steady, supportive presence from start to finish.
Karen showed up whenever I needed her, no matter the time or day. She encouraged me when I doubted myself, gently pushed me when I wanted to give up, and reminded me that my story mattered. Her belief in me helped me keep going, even on the hardest days.
Thanks to her guidance, I found my voice, finished my book, and reached number one bestseller status in several categories. I could not have done it without her.
If you are looking for someone who will truly care about your story, hold space for your growth, and help you bring your message into the world, Karen is the one.

BESTSELLING AUTHOR of Beyond the Feed
I never thought I would write my book!
It’s been a pleasure to work with Karen, and Mabel and Stanley Publishing. Over the years, so many people have said to me, “You should write a book,” and what’s held me back is the thought of writing all those words and knowing that I am not the best writer; and this was a real obstacle for me.
However, when sharing my goal with Karen this year when my nan had sadly passed away, that I wanted to now throw myself into writing my book, Karen has just been an amazing mentor!
Karen’s knowledge, inspiration and accountability has been invaluable. Without her I wouldn’t have stuck to such a tight deadline. There were times when I thought, “Nope, I can’t do this,” but Karen kept me accountable and enabled me to keep the momentum.
Karen’s knowledge around publishing, writing a business book, and getting it onto the Amazon and Ingram Sparks platforms is amazing. I highly recommend Karen to any of my business colleagues. A professional, reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy person and publisher!
Don’t hold back like I did, get your story and message out there!”

Sammy Lander
BESTSELLING AUTHOR of Finishers- the world's first substitution coach
Karen was very supportive throughout the whole process in a world that was very alien to me. Karen was amazing in introducing me to the process of publishing a book with her infectious and light hearted approach, and has been on hand to answer the many many questions I have had! and continue to have.
I would recommend anyone who has aspirations to publish to reach out to Karen for a chat and let her dazzling knowledge guide you on your journey! I have ambitions to write again, and I will be certainly sticking with Karen.
Sandra Hughes
BESTSELLING AUTHOR of Calm Your Worry Warrior
Karen has been an absolute star in providing personalised support for the editing and publishing of my book.
Her energy, enthusiasm and expertise guided me through from thoughts in my head to publishing a number one Amazon bestseller!
If you’re thinking of writing a book, Karen is a must have partner for your author journey.
Thanks for everything Karen

BESTSELLING AUTHOR of How NOT to be a Leadership D*ckhead
Karen Stanley is amazing
Her commitment to my project was second to none and I am grateful she is in my circle.
Not only does she deserve my praise for her character and humanistic approach to book editing.
But also her calibre of doing so. I have already recommended her to many people when she is not in the room.
Need I say more !
“I do, we do, you do”

Ines Zdelar
BESTSELLING author of Teaching Baby to Sleep
I met Karen at a networking event where she was one of the speakers. The way she delivered her speech was incredible, and I knew then that my next step was to write my own book.
I joined Karen’s 12-week “Write Your Own Business Book” course, which was beautifully structured, step by step, making me feel confident that I could actually do it. Since then, I’ve written a book!
Karen is the most amazing mentor. She guided me, pushed me when needed, but was also a gentle companion on this writing journey. It felt like she was with me every step of the way. I truly can’t recommend her enough! Thank you for everything, Karen!
