Publishers of books on family, health, relationships and society
Welcome to Finch Publishing
Finch Publishing is an independent publishing house based in Sydney. We were established in 1992 and specialise in books on the family, health, relationships and society.
Our early titles - such as Manhood, Raising Boys and Boys in Schools - grew out of the need for books on the lives of men and boys. As our list developed we included significant books on family, gender, relationship and social issues.
Our commitment is to publish the best authors in their fields and to produce books that have an important role to play in society. As a small publisher we invest a lot of time and creative involvement working with our authors towards the best possible books. We like to think that is the reason our books stay in print, continue selling through word-of-mouth recommendations and are popular worldwide.
The topics that feature in our list often have international applicability. Consequently, our titles are regularly translated and we have editions of our books in as many as 20 countries.
This year our new titles include some significant books Bully Blocking, Helping Your Baby to Sleep, Tricky Kids, The Strong Woman's Desire for a Strong Man, Acting from the Heart, The Happiness Handbook, 2nd edition, The Other Side of Blue, Up Downs and Love is Not For Cowards.

Available now "Trying to Conceive"
True stories of how couples overcame infertility
Edited by Michaela Ryan
Trying to ConceiveWhen a couple has trouble conceiving, emotional factors can often be at play. While stress is a well-known factor affecting fertility, other more subtle issues can play a major role – such as unresolved fears about becoming a parent, childhood traumas, repressed emotions, self-esteem issues and relationship difficulties.
Trying to Conceive provides fifteen real-life stories from women and men who were able to conceive only after they had taken a more holistic approach to pregnancy and resolved the emotional issues underlying their infertility.
Mark and his wife Charlotte learned to work together as a team and made their relationship a priority before they fell pregnant. Suzanna resolved her feelings of anger towards her father before she conceived. Deb and Keith endured 23 IVF cycles and had to deal with numerous miscarriages before Deb radically changed her lifestyle and fell pregnant.
Compelling, uplifting and often humorous, each of the fifteen case studies is complex and unique, revealing the need for individual solutions for each couple.
‘Trying to Conceive is a delightful and helpful book that follows the successful journey to fertility for fifteen couples … This is an invaluable resource for couples struggling to conceive.’ - Dr Judy Ford PhD, Geneticist and Fertility Advisor
‘The stories in this wonderful book resonate strongly with the stories that my clients have shared with me over many years. Well done to Michaela Ryan for helping us feel the overwhelming emotions which can be experienced, as well as illustrating ways of coping with the downs and ups of infertility.’ - Miranda Montrone, Psychologist and Infertility Counsellor
‘Honest, heart-warming and, at times, heart-wrenching – Michaela Ryan's anthology of personal anecdotes highlights the powerful experiences of couples who are trying to conceive …Told with sometimes painful insights, mixed with delightful flashes of humour, these stories are illuminating and inspiring and will give great encouragement to everyone who wonders when their baby will come.’ - Karin Bishop, Editor, Essential, The Sydney Morning Herald
Michaela Ryan is a freelance writer and journalist who has contributed to various women’s and health publications. She was inspired to write this book through her own experience of finally conceiving after she made some significant emotional changes in her life. Michaela grew up in Melbourne, has lived in Japan for a year and speaks Japanese and French. She is now the mother of a beautiful little boy.
