About Dean Publishing
MEET
Helping Authors Achieve Their Dreams Since 2014.
Dean Publishing was founded 10 years ago by Susan Dean, we help entrepreneurs, visionaries, and changemakers (we’re looking at you!) share their wisdom, expertise, and stories with the world.
Why? Because we know the positive impact great books can have on those who read them. Also, what better way to grow a business than with a book?
THE DEAN
Did We Mention We’re More Than Just A Book Publisher?
In fact, we’re much more than that. We’re a full-blown multimedia publishing and production company – audiobooks, workbooks, branded journals – yep, we do it all.
We know what it takes to thrive in today’s industry, and we love seeing our authors absolutely kill it on launch day and beyond. Over the years, we’ve seen so many dreams come true.
More than anything, we love helping our authors bring their ideas to life and release them into the world, nurturing, supporting, and celebrating with them every step of the way.
Their success is our success, and we’re privileged to have the opportunity to help so many amazing people become published authors, with many more to come. We believe that everyone has a story or expert knowledge to share – that includes you!
What will you share with the world to create an impact, grow your audience, and leave a legacy? We’d love to hear from you.

Welcome To Dean Manor
By now, you may have noticed that we’re not your typical book publisher, which means we could never be content with a typical publishing house (some bland office in the CBD somewhere that completely lacks character – you know what we mean). So, what’s the alternative? Welcome to Dean Manor.
When Susan envisioned her ideal publishing house, she saw something prestigious, a stunning location where we could really roll out the red carpet, a place that would make our authors feel like world-class superstars – because they are!
We love to share this amazing space With our authors
Giving them everything they need to succeed.

About Dean Publishing
At Dean Publishing, we are a top-tier, Australian-owned publishing company with a full in-house team of editors, designers, and publishing professionals. We are deeply passionate about the power of storytelling to educate, inspire, and ignite change.
We believe that everyone has a story – and our mission is to bring those stories to life through a supportive, stress-free publishing process. Whether it’s a book that transforms lives, a memoir that inspires action, or a guide that empowers others, we help authors prepare, publish, and promote their message with purpose and impact.
Our Vision
Our Mission
To deliver professional, high-quality publishing and production services to leaders, experts, and changemakers – helping them grow their businesses, share their knowledge, make a meaningful difference, and leave a lasting legacy.
Our Values
Diversity & Inclusion
At Dean Publishing, we believe that every voice deserves to be heard. That’s why we proudly publish books from authors of all backgrounds, cultures, religions, and worldviews.
We are committed to creating an inclusive, respectful, and supportive space where authors feel safe to express their unique stories – whether they’re writing about business, personal growth, health, mindset, or lived experience.
Our publishing model is grounded in:
At Dean Publishing, we don’t just publish books – we publish people. And we’re proud to stand for inclusion, diversity, and the power of real stories to create real change.
Sustainability
While some authors will require bulk printing, we also work with printers that use print-on-demand technology to reduce waste, emissions, and overproduction. Our printers follow strict paper sourcing guidelines, avoiding paper from endangered forests, conservation areas, and the Amazon Basin. We’re proud to print sustainably, because we only have one Earth.
Giving Back
At Dean Publishing, giving back is woven into the heart of the business. We believe that success isn’t just measured by books published or businesses grown, but by the impact made on communities around the world.
Dean Publishing actively supports causes that align with our values of compassion, contribution, and global change. One of our most cherished partnerships is with Hands Across the Water, an organisation that provides safe homes, education, and opportunities to orphaned and at-risk children in Thailand.
Dean Publishing founder Susan Dean frequently travels to Thailand to volunteer, helping to build mud homes, plant trees, create veggie patches, build dams, cook meals, donate school supplies and gifts, and, most importantly, spend time with the children. Giving back in this way is deeply personal to Susan and is a key part of the company’s mission.
Dean Publishing also supports B1G1 (Buy1Give1), a global giving movement that allows businesses to make high-impact contributions as part of everyday operations.
With gratitude at the core of the business, Dean Publishing is committed to using its platform and success to support others locally and globally.
