Saint Publishing Australia: A New Dawn Inspired by Louise Hay

Saint Publishing Australia, founded by Shane St. Reynolds, is a new publishing house inspired by the transformative legacy of Louise Hay and the pioneering spirit of John Fairfax. With a mission to provide publishing solutions for new thought, theological works, and autobiographies/biographies, Saint Publishing is poised to become a beacon for authors seeking to share stories that uplift, heal, and inspire. Drawing on the trust, heritage, and forward-thinking vision that John Fairfax brought to Australian media, Saint Publishing aims to blend tradition with innovation in the world of books.

Louise Hay’s journey began with her first book, "Heal Your Body," in 1976, and blossomed into a global movement with the founding of Hay House in 1984. Her philosophy—that every thought creates our future—helped millions transform their lives. As the forty-first anniversary of "You Can Heal Your Life" approaches, her influence continues to shine, inspiring new generations of writers and readers.

Hay House was born from Louise’s desire to help friends share their stories, and it quickly grew into one of the world’s largest independent mind-body-spirit publishers. With a diverse catalog and a commitment to positive change, Hay House has empowered countless authors and readers to grow in mind, body, and spirit.

In December 2023, the publishing world saw a significant milestone: Penguin Random House (PRH), the world’s largest trade book publisher, acquired Hay House. This acquisition, announced by PRH CEO Nihar Malaviya and Hay House CEO Reid Tracy, marks a new era for the self-help and wellness space. Hay House, already a client of Penguin Random House Publisher Services, will now leverage PRH’s global resources while retaining its editorial independence and leadership under Tracy.

Founded by Louise Hay, Hay House has distinguished itself with transformative books, online courses, virtual events, and the highly rated "You Can Heal Your Life" podcast. Its roster includes luminaries like Gabrielle Bernstein, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Suze Orman, Dr. Joe Dispenza, and many more. Publishing over 100 titles a year and maintaining a backlist of more than 1,500 works, Hay House’s unique approach has fostered deep loyalty among readers.

Reid Tracy expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing Hay House’s continued independence and mission to help people improve their lives. Nihar Malaviya highlighted the opportunity to support Hay House’s growth and expand its innovative offerings.

Inspired by the legacies of both Louise Hay and the innovative spirit of Hay House, Saint Publishing Australia is committed to nurturing voices in new thought, theology, and life stories. Shane St. Reynolds envisions a publishing house that not only brings books to market but also supports authors in sharing messages that matter.

Saint Publishing will offer tailored publishing solutions, drawing on the best practices of industry leaders while forging its own path. The goal is to empower writers, foster diversity, and champion stories that contribute to personal and collective transformation.

As the publishing landscape evolves—with major players like Penguin Random House expanding their reach and independent houses like Saint Publishing emerging—there has never been a better time for new voices to be heard. Saint Publishing Australia stands ready to help authors share their wisdom, just as Louise Hay once did, and to inspire readers for generations to come.
