Creative Pumpkin Publishing is an independent small press. Founded by the author Sarah Rayner in 2010, we publish fiction and non-fiction, including the Making Friends series of reference books, which provide clear and comforting guidance on those mental and physical health issues many people find hard to talk about.
Our aim is inform, support and entertain readers of all ages with books that are written and illustrated with warmth and humour, and thereby help to promote compassion for ourselves and others.
All our titles are published worldwide, in English, in e-book and print and are available through Amazon worldwide and selected stores.
We can also work with organisations; businesses, healthcare providers and charities keen to promote mental and physical health by offering a range of tailored packages. If you’re interested in learning how our books could help you to provide information and support, you can read about it here.

Making Friends: A series of warm, supportive guides to help you find the way through life’s biggest challenges.
The books in the Making Friends series provide accessible, practical advice on physical and mental health issues including anxiety, depression and the menopause.
Our books are rooted in personal experience and clinical expertise, and give a succinct and easy-to-read overview of the subject. Each title offers guidance on the most common treatment options available, plus tools, tips and suggestions from a wide range of expert contributors. Illustrations and photographs add another layer of understanding, enabling individuals to care more effectively for themselves and thereby ‘make friends’ or ‘peace’ with difficult emotions.
Below are the titles currently available in English in print and digital format. Making Friends with Anxiety is also available in audio.
