Stone Table Books is a publisher based in Noarlunga Centre, South Australia specialising in speculative fiction [especially fantasy, but also spiritual and science fiction] books for all ages. Stone Table Books is an Imprint of Wipf and Stock Publishers.
The imprint’s name is a reference to the stone table in C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The image on our logo is of the broken stone table, which symbolised Aslan’s return from death and defeat of the White Witch in Lewis’ novel. The stone table from the Narnia books is one of the most recognised images from twentieth century fantasy. It also represents a willingness within fantasy writing to engage with deeper metaphysical and even spiritual themes.
Our publication list focuses on new authors, and also includes some established fantasy writers and classic fantasy reprints. We are very excited by the quality and diverse range of books we have on offer and those soon to come.

Can I submit a manuscript?
Stone Table Books is a publisher of speculative fiction (that is mainly fantasy and science fiction) and we do occasionally accept unsolicited work, but it is advised to begin by sending a brief (less than 2 pages) cover letter introducing yourself, any previously published works and describing your intended audience. Please include a one paragraph summary of your story and the first five pages of your first chapter. It is also a good idea to include some strategies you might employ to promote your book when it is published and some ideas about people of note who might be willing to endorse it.
To aid you in this we have included some helpful links below.
