Stocktaking day! 5 yrs ago, none of this existed - even after 8 titles, I stacked all boxes at home - under beds, along the walls, taking up a whole room at one point! Now it’s all in a warehouse - it’s not exactly glamorous but it is my very own publishing dream come true: 16 titles, 16 pallets!

Back from hols and straight into opening parcels of freshly made limited edition art prints - of our two latest book covers - illustrated to perfection by @tomgauld.bsky.social and Alice Pattullo. DM me if you’d like a signed copy! manderleypress.com/shop/art-prints #booksky

The Manderley Press team is away for a short summer break so we are offering free UK shipping on all orders until the end of July to make up for delays in posting out books. Simply add this code at checkout and leave the rest to us: SUMMER2026 Manderleypress.com #booksky

Sun Horse, Moon Horse by Rosemary Sutcliff - our epic coming-of-age story set in Iron Age Britain, inspired by the iconic white horse of Uffington. This book has been a quiet #bestseller and we're coming to the end of our print run. The question is - should we reprint more copies? #booksky

Every single one of the covers for our six 2026 titles was specially designed and illustrated by a selection of the very best graphic artists from around the world. Do you have a favourite? #booksky #manderleypress

So you grow up in #Whitby, work in the Whitby Bookshop, move away in body if not spirit, republish a forgotten Whitby author whose novel is inspired by and set in Whitby. The circle is completed with this display of said book in the Whitby Bookshop. Joy! #booksky #themoonismaking #stormjameson

Coming soon to a bookshelf near you - a brand new edition of the original 1980s gritty YA novel: Break in the Sun by Bernard Ashley. This classic was set in Deptford and #Margate and tells the story of Patsy, a young girl who runs away from home. Inspired by #dreamland and #whitstable 📚☀️ #booksky

Happy publication day to The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson - back in print for the first time in nearly a century. It’s an honour to bring this Northern classic back to life - introduced by Maxine Peake - which is set in and inspired by the author’s hometown of #whitby #booksky

We republished Underfoot in Show Business a few months ago - I’d love to do more of hers though!!

One year. Six rediscovered books, including: a memoir set on Broadway, a dystopian novel, a forgotten Northern classic, a ghost story in three parts, a gritty 1980s teenage adventure and a Christmassy heart-warmer for children of all ages from 5-99. Honestly, my job is a dream come true #booksky

What do you think about endpapers? We like to have fun with them, incorporating elements of the cover design or drawing out colours that match the spirit of the book (eg taxi cab yellow for our New York titles). These endpapers are for our new book set by the sea in #Margate tinyurl.com/2zu6hhf3

The cover for our forthcoming YA novel is getting closer. Break in the Sun was last published in 1980 and we wanted to retain the pink and yellow colourway of the original (with its echoes of Dreamland) in our new edition - intro by @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social and illustrated by Margo McDaid

I can still remember discovering this book by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor - author of Address Unknown - at @thelondonlibrary.bsky.social. I had to restrain myself from whooping with delight. It was a joy to bring it back to life in a new edition, with all the matching merch! #florence #booksky

From my publishing kitchen table to this table stack in the science fiction section of the brand new Topping & Company Booksellers in York - an indie dream come true for our new edition of a forgotten dystopian classic: Woman Alive by Susan Ertz #booksky

Our newest summer novel is a page-turner - an eye-opener - a heart-wrencher … and a door-stopper too! The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson is set in Whitby, inspired by Whitby and back in print after almost a century. A true northern classic, introduced to perfection by Maxine Peake #booksky

This morning I am happily caffeinated and busy packing up all last night’s orders - but I stopped in my tracks when I got to this one. Do you think the customer chose these three titles for their matching purple covers?!?! 💜📚🤷‍♀️

And so it begins - all over again - for the sixteenth time! Our latest title, The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson, has just arrived in our office, perfectly in time for summer reading. All subscription and advance orders will now be wrapped and ribboned and packed and posted #booksky

Introducing our latest new-old summer read - The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson - a rediscovered novel from 1936 which is set in and inspired by Whitby. It’s dark, gripping and utterly page-turning. It could also prop open a door! Pre-orders will be posted out this week #booksky

So this arrived today! The very first copy of The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson. I know I'm biased, but it is both beautiful and epic. With the hugest of thanks to Maxine Peake and Alice Pattullo for showcasing this new edition so wonderfully. My publishing beart is bursting right now! #booksky

There’s a gap in my wall of Manderley Press art prints … soon to be filled with a special work by @tomgauld.bsky.social, inspired by his front cover of our newest book - Woman Alive by Susan Ertz #booksky

The office assistant has turned his nose up at a napping in a book box. Tomatoes are apparently better 📚 v 🍅

Well it turns out that heatwaves are great for book sales! Thanks for all the the weekend orders dear readers. Time for a restock methinks… #booksky

Are you even a publisher until you spot a friend at a book launch sporting the company matching tote who you can pose beside with your own bag?! #manderleypress

Introducing our mightiest book yet - it certainly has the widest cloth-bound cover of all the Manderley Press titles! This is being printed today and will be making its way over to our office later this month: The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson: our “love letter to the north” #booksky

If I hold this book upside down can you tell what it is? Another title tease for our forthcoming 2027 list - I’ve been seeking out some extra special treats, set in and inspired by some of the most iconic places and buildings around the world… #booksky

A tantalising tease - this is one of our 2027 titles - a forgotten classic by Dodie Smith (101 Dalmatians; I Capture the Castle). I tracked down a vintage copy at @thelondonlibrary.bsky.social and I can't wait to bring it back to life. Can you guess what it might be or where it is set? #booksky

In praise of the matching bookmark… When a paper receipt or an old birthday card just won’t do, reach for the illustrated equivalent! This is the newest of our bookmarks, commissioned from the illustrator Alice Pattullo to accompany our summer title The Moon is Making by Storm Jameson #booksky

This photo makes me so happy! Here I am, last night - gazing up in awe and wonder at the plaque on Charing Cross Road, London, that is dedicated to my literary hero #HeleneHanff - with her wonderful cousin @jeanhanff.bsky.social after our event at @foylesforbooks.bsky.social #booksky

Why sleep when you can arrange all the books you’ve ever published on the kitchen dresser? I can’t wait for tomorrow - celebrating our new Helene Hanff title at @foylesforbooks.bsky.social and also welcoming 20 guests to hear about the Manderley Press story over afternoon tea #booksky

This is an illustration of Toby Lamb’s journal - a beautiful detail by artist Annabel Pearl from the interior of our forthcoming ghostly Halloween tale: The Haunting of Lamb House by Joan Aiken #booksky
