Sarah Walkerden

Sarah Walkerden is the founder of The Rural Publishing Company, a pioneering publishing house dedicated to helping rural, regional and remote Australians turn their stories and expertise into books that make an impact.

A passionate advocate for amplifying rural voices, Sarah knows first-hand the unique challenges – and strengths – that come with running a business and writing a book outside the city. With a background in writing, publishing, marketing and entrepreneurship, she created The Rural Publishing Company to provide authors with the support, clarity and professional guidance they need to publish with confidence – without falling into the traps of vanity presses or overwhelm.

Through workshops, resources, courses and supported self-publishing packages, Sarah empowers authors to not only publish their books but also use them as powerful tools to grow their businesses, boost credibility and share their stories far beyond their local towns.
