At The Book Whisperers, we believe books are more than just publications—they can be profound personal projects, creative legacies, or even acts of catharsis. One of our recent collaborations was with Beatrice Burdock, a writer who came to us with over 1,000 poems and short stories, looking to create two personal books for her family and friends.
“It was a great experience to do the books with The Book Whisperers,” Beatrice shared. “It was a lot of fun to see my books with my own work and photos too.”
Beatrice's books, Tales of Ether: Stories of Wonder and Tales of Terra: Poems of Life, are remarkable achievements. They reflect her imagination, resilience, and determination in the face of challenges including epilepsy, depression, anxiety, and learning difficulties. Her writing showcases the strength of the human spirit, with stories of enchanted worlds and poems of raw emotional depth.
Not every book needs to find its way to the shelves of bookshops or online stores. Beatrice’s vision was to preserve her work in a format that allowed her to share it personally with those closest to her. By printing a limited number of copies, she could ensure her writing reached only those she trusted and cared about.
“The best bit for me was to complete a promise to someone dear to my heart,” Beatrice said. “And to see my work in a book for real, not just dreaming about it happening.”
At The Book Whisperers, we’re honoured to help people like Beatrice transform their writing into meaningful keepsakes. Whether it’s a book for publication, a family legacy, or simply a personal project, we’re here to guide every step of the way.
Beatrice’s journey is a testament to the magic of storytelling and the power of turning dreams into reality.
Beatrice is holding a public book launch event at the Birthlink Office in Edinburgh, at 21 Castle Street, from 6-7PM. This event is a two-parter, as she will be holding it both on the 8th of January and the 15th, so anyone can have a chance to attend and lend support!
