Your Essential Roadmap to Publishing
We are so glad you are here!
As an author, publisher, and entrepreneur who has always been a communicator, I ventured into the publishing corporate world with a singular mission: to help others tell their stories. Very quickly, I saw firsthand what it truly takes to get books published and readers engaged. This insight has continuously fuelled my drive as a passionate believer in the importance of stories and legacy.
I've been constantly amazed by the power of narratives to connect, inspire, and transform. I've witnessed how a well-told story can bridge gaps, spark change, and leave a lasting impact on the world. This realisation has only deepened my commitment to empowering voices and bringing meaningful stories to life.

About The Book Whisperer
Our Founder Rose Sandy
Rose Sandy is a distinguished leader in the publishing industry, known for her various roles within HarperCollins Publishers and the wider industry.
Rose Sandy's trajectory in publishing is as illustrious as it is impactful. At HarperCollins Publishers UK, Rose stood as a paragon of leadership and vision, navigating the world's second-largest commercial book publishing firm with a deft blend of strategy and creativity. Rose has published a number of bestselling books and authors who have hit the Sunday Times Bestseller lists and other charts. With a rich background in multinational corporations across various sectors, she brings a wealth of international experience to her role.
Before her time at HarperCollins, Rose's narrative was already rich with global experience. Her professional journey wove through the corporate narratives of conglomerates like Sony Corporation, The Coca-Cola Company, and Cisco Systems. These eras across consumer electronics, FMCG, and technology imbued her with a diverse skill set and an international perspective that would later colour her publishing ethos.
At HarperCollins, Rose's accomplishments read like a bestseller list: from acquiring and publishing celebrated titles across multiple genres, including business, entertainment, sports, biography, and memoir, to crafting editorial strategies that resonated with readers far and wide. Her eye for potential has led to key acquisitions and the publication of notable works, including Sarina Wiegman's memoir What it Takes, Peter Komolafe's Money Basics, Justin Welby's In This Light (The Archbishop of Canterbury), and Edwina Dunn's When She's in the Room, among others.
Her leadership shone brightly as she doubled the business of Harper Christian 360 and pioneered the Harper Inspire imprint, culminating in its acquisition by the Harper US global business. With a knack for spotting bestsellers, Rose has orchestrated the publication of works by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, Shawn Michaels, and Guvna B, among others. In her multifaceted role, Rose also oversaw the HarperCollins Christian Publishing division, including imprints like Zondervan and Thomas Nelson. Her strategic acumen and innovative spirit have not only propelled Harper Inspire to success but also fostered an environment where authors and their stories flourish.
She is the visionary founder of the HarperCollins Author and Design Academy, dedicated to training and mentoring writers from underrepresented ethnic backgrounds. Her initiative, the HarperCollins Author and Design Academy (www.harpercollinsacademy.co.uk), reflects her staunch commitment to diversity and mentorship, offering training to burgeoning writers from underrepresented backgrounds and equipping them with the tools for commercial success in the competitive publishing landscape. Rose's dedication to inclusivity and growth extends beyond the Academy's walls. As a founding figure, she has steered over 250 writers and designers through the programme, many of whom now thrive in the industry, thanks to her guidance. Her commitment to fostering new voices and driving business growth in publishing has made her an influential figure in the literary world.
But Rose's narrative doesn't stop with non-fiction. She's also an adept author of international thriller and suspense novels (www.rosesandybooks.com), showcasing her versatility and passion for storytelling. Rose's creative prowess extends to writing, with a portfolio of international thriller and suspense novels (www.rosesandy.com) that have garnered Hollywood interest for development. Whether she's writing on her smartphone, dictating on the go, or delving into historical research at iconic British institutions, Rose's life is a testament to her love for the written word.
Her leadership in publishing extends to the stage, where she has delivered presentations at prestigious conferences, sharing her insights and inspiring the next generation of literary talent. From the Women in Leadership London to the Chiswick Book Festival, Women in Technology, MAPP Women in Business, and beyond, her voice has become a beacon for those navigating the publishing industry.
As a Stationer at the City of London Livery Company for the Communications and Content Industries and an Advisory Board member at The Female Lead, Rose's work is a vivid narrative of success, innovation, and empowerment.
As a publisher, author, and mentor, she crafts not just books but legacies, with a mission to leave an indelible mark on the industry and the countless authors whose talents she has helped hone and highlight.
Her story, ever-evolving, continues to inspire those who dream of leaving their own imprint on the literary world.
