The Book Whisperer

Publishing for Indie Authors

We publish books. For independent authors who want to do it properly.

We Believe in Indie Publishing.

Indie publishing has opened up the industry in ways that weren’t possible ten years ago. More voices, more genres, more readers finding books they actually want. We think that’s a good thing, and we’ve been part of it since 2017.

Publishing Services for Independent Authors

A Hybrid Worth Considering.

We’ve published over a thousand books for roughly a hundred authors. Many are established authors managing long lists and growing catalogues. Some are mid-list authors building steadily. Occasionally we take on a debut — when the project is right.

In practical terms, we do as much as — and often more than — many traditional publishers do: editing, covers, formatting, metadata, distribution, ARCs, advertising, marketing. The difference is that you keep your royalties, your accounts, and your rights. We charge a fee for the work. No royalty split. No rights negotiation. We don’t sit between you and your platforms.

We’re a small team. We like it that way. We take on work we believe in, and we don’t take on more than we can do well.

Work With Us

Working with Shaun and the Bookwhisperer team has been an outstanding experience from the very beginning and continues to be so. Their professionalism and insight make all the difference in bringing my books The Sun King’s Man and The Plague of God to publication—and, in part, republication. What impresses me most is their technical expertise. Their guidance has been precise, thoughtful, and always aimed at strengthening the finished book for the market without compromising its integrity. Throughout the entire process, communication has been clear, responsive, and encouraging. Every step—from formatting to navigating the complexities of publishing—has been handled with care and competence. Thanks to Shaun and her team, both books now stand where they belong: professionally refined and ready to meet their readers. I can wholeheartedly recommend Bookwhisperer to any author seeking not just support, but true collaboration.

My partnership with The Book Whisperer has been one of my favorite publishing (ad)ventures. Planning, execution, and communication have all been flawless, and the proof is in the sales numbers. Most importantly, it’s been much more fun than working with Hachette and HarperCollins. Shaun and her team are the best.

Working with The Book Whisperer has been a game-changer for my writing career. Their expertise in editing, formatting, marketing, and more has taken my book, ‘The Mystery of Julia Episcopa,’ to new heights. From its initial release to its continued success as a best-seller, their dedication and support have been invaluable. They are not just a publishing partner but also trusted friends who believe in my work. I wholeheartedly recommend The Book Whisperer to any author seeking exceptional support and a genuine passion for storytelling.
