Our Story

At Mitchell Lane Publishers, we’ve built a legacy of reliability and dedication to quality since our founding in 1992 by Barbara Mitchell, a passionate former teacher and reading specialist. In January 2017, the company was acquired by Phil Comer and Associates, with Mr. Phil Comer bringing over 30 years of expertise in the school and library industry as a former owner of a prominent book distributorship.

As a family-owned business, we are committed to continuing the high standards that have made Mitchell Lane a trusted name. Our books are carefully crafted by experienced youth fiction and nonfiction authors and editors, ensuring they meet the needs of libraries and schools. Every library-bound edition is made in the USA, and we also offer our titles digitally as hosted eBooks or downloadable PDFs.

We remain steadfast in our commitment to providing the same excellent service and quality that our customers have come to rely on, carrying forward the values and trust built over the years at Mitchell Lane Publishers.
