'We need to build on the great work that social entrepreneurs like Jason Pegler are doing'
David Cameron - Prime Minister

'Jason Pegler is inspirational to a great many people in the UK service user movement. I am amazed how he does it '
Paul Farmer - Chief Executive of Mind

"I am often asked about mental health books. A great resource is Chipmunkapublishing".
Stephen Fry

'It is you putting your faith in me and publishing my book that first set me on the road to recovery. That is priceless'
David Stocks - RADAR, Empowerment Manager

‘With his spot-on values, hard work and with entrepreneurial skills very evident, Jason has carved out a prominent role for himself in the mental health service user/survivor movement. His publishing house broke new ground when it was launched, airing user and carer stories that need to be heard, but had no outlet until Chipmunka came along. The quality of Chipmunka's output cannot be faulted, nor can the power of the tales told, but none of the material would have emerged and proved so moving without Jason's achievements.’
Alisdair Cameron - Coordinator of Launchpad

'The positive way in which people have reacted to my book has boosted my self-esteem and empowered me. It's really pleasing to know that so many people are interested in hearing about my experiences of illness and recovery, and value what i have to say, it has confirmed to me that i have knowledge and skills that i can use to help other people, by supporting them, advocating on their behalf and hopefully empowering them - and being able to empower another human being is, of course, a very empowering thing."
Jason Tune author of Sex Drugs and Northern Soul

'Jason, Will, Andrew, You’re all just wonderful. I feel like Chipmunka gives that chance for personal renaissance. Speak and then you know what it is you want to say, Let your pen walk across the page.. you never know where it will take you.
I can’t begin to tell you the feeling when I held 'Bring Down the Moon' for the first time, it felt like you were all holding lamps up high to illuminate the path and make things easier for me on the way.
I can’t thank you enough not just for my experience of it all...I love the way from the early moments you are told when someone will be back in touch and that is when it happens so that you start to grow in trust. 
Congratulations on such inspiration, foresight and wisdom, in setting up the new concept. So brilliant to have created a safe place to be heard.'

Eva Le Bon author of Bring Down The Moon

'Seeing my book published has strengthened my resolve to carry on raising awareness of mental illness and help to reduce the associated stigma'.
Judith Haire author of Don't Mind Me

'I want to teach English to students and I am now confident because I have eight books published. That did not happen over night. It happened gradually like an awakening, like a dream that would open and close and wounds would be healed and of course this happened because Jason and people like Jason were and are still there'.
Fatma Durmush author of 8 Chipmunkapublishing titles

'Jason took my unusual predicament, in his stride, and offered much more than just a very good publishing service. He enabled me to help others being dragged along a similar path. After publishing A Cry For Help he worked tirelessly to provide me with a network of opportunities to promote my work, thus helping to raise OCD awareness. Initially, extremely nervous, I was surprised by the positive feedback due to Jason's campaign. An article in 'That's Life' magazine and the Local Newspaper inspired a number of people, totally uneducated regarding OCD, to purchase my accounts and fathom my actions. Local people started to grasp the realities of OCD. The attitude of condemnation was very gradually replaced, in many cases, by sympathetic understanding. Jason, while providing a rock of support, toiled to widen the net of opportunity. National Newspapers and television programs climbed aboard. The Trisha Goddard Show gave me a greater platform to discuss OCD. Encouraged by Jason, I strived to help people understand the condition and, where needed, seek professional help. I had an issue with my 'intrusive thoughts', feeling embarrassed and totally isolated, opting to go to jail rather than admit to having them'.
Stephen Drake - author of A Cry For Help

'When I submitted the final version to Jason Pegler, the CEO of CHIPMUNKA, I was impressed by his belief in me when he agreed to publish my work. He, and Paul Kirven and Andrew Latchford supported me throughout the publishing process, from initial e-book to the current paperback edition. The necessity of the use of the Internet gave me a newfound confidence, and the contact aided presentation and promotion. What was initially a potential source of anxiety, became a time of evolving into a forward thinking, creative person. The whole ethos of CHIPMUNKA really does ‘empower’ those individuals who are faced with the challenges of mental disorder. Through their dedication I was encouraged by the whole enterprise'. Robert Bayley author of Lives Within A Life

'I found writing therapeutic, and that my books can help others was always foremost in my mind. The hope that my experiences would give hope to parents that were faced with the same outlook that I was given, that my child would never walk or talk, she is now running and chatting non stop, is reward enough for me. As I had also lost a child in tragic circumstances I included a chapter about my son Jonathan, who had died when an unsafe football goalpost fell on him and killed him. Since Jonathan had died I have campaigned to highlight the dangers of unsafe football goals eventually putting all the details of my campaign into my second book. I am now achieving far more awareness from my second book A Football Goalpost Killed My Son. The media have followed my campaign which has helped me to reach a wide audience through my books. I have had television and radio interviews and also been put forward for awards, all because I have been given the chance by Chipmunkapublishing to have my work published. When I had my books published, it gave me such joy, also fulfilment in what I had achieved. I have made contacts world wide, especially since my second book has been published and I am still fighting to achieve legislation for safer football goalposts but now I feel I am not on my in my campaign'.
Brenda Smith author of A Football Goalpost Killed My Son

'Jason, I would like to thank you for putting my work out there in the publishing world. Writing my 3 books really was something I felt compelled to do. After writing one – my story – I went straight on to doing some research about mental health promotion, seeing that as the way forward when you have suffered mental health difficulties. I sent you my manuscript and you amazingly published it. Inspired, I then went on to write my third book which is about overcoming depression. I had 3 e-books out, now 3 published books. I have had two book launches, one in the local hospital and one on the travelling bus advertising mental health promotion. Also, there have been a couple of articles in the local paper to which I have contributed, about my experiences of depression, and I was interviewed about a mother/daughter relationship when the mother has had mental health difficulties. I have learned a great deal. It has also helped me to get work – I went on a service user employment programme at my local mental health trust, and then went straight into a job working with other service users. The fact that I had written about my experiences helped me get the job, and also inspired other service users to read my story. The local mental health trust has also purchased various Chipmunka books for the wards, so word has spread. I think it really helps for those who experience mental health difficulties to write about their experiences and to write poetry, and also for this information to be available to others who are going through the process and need some insight. Writing my story and writing poetry has helped me. It has enabled me to get my views out there. Before, I never would have thought I could have been a published author – I mean what had I to say? Now I have the authority that goes with it. My first book Move Over Manic Depression – Here I Am is my straightforward story, which includes some poetry for mental health, which I actually wrote beforehand and sent to my psychiatrist who told me he shared it with the community mental health team'.
Chipmunkapublishing author Anne Brocklesby

'Chipmunka have published three of my books; the effect of having my work published has been tremendously positive, my confidence has increased and I now feel able, through my creative work, to engage fully with the world and to move beyond the confines of the psychiatric system. I have held three book launches that have been attended by service users, professionals and others. I believe that my experience with Chipmunka Publishing has helped me to encourage other local writers, artists and musicians who have, or have had, mental health problems. I am in contact with an expanding group of creative individuals who would like to get their work seen, heard and read'.
Chipmunkapublishing author Maureen Oliver
