Why should you work with me?

Karen Stanley - Why you should work with me.jpg

I’ve walked this path, and led many others down it.


I’m a bestselling author, 15-times published, and have mentored and published  over 80 new authors (both nationally and internationally) with 21 of my authors achieving bestseller status in their category/ies.

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.

Want to go it alone?

The Mabel and Stanley Business Book Planner will guide you through the process from creating a writing timetable to planning your outline, to crafting your content and marketing ideas.

We have an FAQ's page and if you need a little extra help, just get in touch!
