About Leanne

Planetary Press & Publishing was founded by me, Leanne Murner, a global award-winning author, international speaker, mentor, entrepreneur, passionate storyteller, and proud mum of five boys, based in the Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia.

Alongside writing my own books, I’m deeply passionate about mentoring aspiring authors and creatives. I support people from the very first spark of an idea through to becoming a published author, offering guidance grounded in lived experience. I know firsthand how overwhelming the publishing journey can be, and I’m committed to helping others avoid common mistakes and move forward with clarity and confidence.

My work extends beyond publishing alone. Through mentoring and creative writing, I help people reconnect with their inner voice, creativity, and personal power. I believe writing is not just about producing a book it can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and transformation.

I’m currently working on my own memoir, a young adult novel, and just published a guided companion called Rewild the Self. This project was born from my desire to help people slow down in a world filled with screens, constant information, and endless distraction. Rewild the Self is a gentle invitation to reconnect with your natural rhythm through reflection, journaling, and simple, grounding practices encouraging presence, creativity, and a deeper connection with yourself and the world around you.

To support this vision, I’ve brought together a trusted community of experienced editors, illustrators, and publishing professionals who understand both the challenges and the joy of bringing a story to life. Together, Planetary Press & Publishing exists to nurture creativity, honour authentic stories, and guide authors every step of the way.
