BookLab is the brainchild of Mark and Cherith Stibbe. A Lab is a place where you can experiment, so BookLab writers are encouraged to innovate. A Lab is also the UK’s most beloved dog (as in Labrador), so it will be no surprise to hear that Mark and Cherith have two, a black lab called Bella and a yellow lab called Phoebe. Hence, BookLab. Also, we do love a good pun!

 

Mark Stibbe founded the first version of this service for writers back in 2012. Mark is the bestselling and award-winning author of over 50 books of fiction and nonfiction. He is also the winner of the 2020 Page Turner Writing Award for Fiction and is now a full-time fiction writer.
