Bringing Your Story to Life

Some stories deserve to be more than a memory. They deserve to be held, passed down, and treasured for generations.

Mary Egan Publishing was founded in 2010, but our roots in New Zealand publishing run much deeper. With over 60 years of combined experience, we are a family-owned and operated business built on craftsmanship, honesty, and a genuine love of storytelling.

We help people turn their most meaningful stories into beautiful books. Whether you need someone to guide you through the entire journey, or just a hand with one part of it, we'll meet you wherever you are. Explore our services here.

We specialise in memoirs, company histories, children’s books, cookbooks, and high-end coffee-table titles. From writing to printing, and everything in between, we take care of it all. Every book we produce is crafted with care, designed to be read, kept, and passed on. Take a look at our portfolio to see some of the projects we've had the privilege of bringing to life.

From your first conversation with us to long after your book is in the world, we're with you every step of the way. Read what our authors say about working with us.

Join the family. Get in touch, we'd love to hear about your book.

“My memory of the wintry day I tore open the courier pack and held Upstream on the Mataura in my hands for the first time will remain with me, because Mary Egan Publishing delivered the book I dared to hope for.”

— Dougal Rillstone, Author of “Upstream on the Mataura”
