Meet Our Team

Alice Bell

Publishing Consultant

Alice loves getting to know authors and hearing the stories behind their books. One of her favourite parts of working in publishing is learning what inspired each project and what makes each author's work unique.

A keen reader with a particular soft spot for sci-fi, thrillers, literary fiction and poetry, she has a tendency to stay up far too late to finish "just one more chapter". She has a background in languages and music, and outside of work she enjoys arts and crafts and going to the theatre.

Ben Jones

Senior Project Manager & General Manager

Ben has spent over twelve years in publishing and now runs project management and day-to-day operations at Publishing Push. He oversees each project, from onboarding authors and agreeing contracts to coordinating editorial feedback and production.

Behind the scenes, he builds the workflow systems that keep projects on schedule and ensure authors always know where their book stands. That combination of technical skill and editorial judgement is why he has received hundreds of 5-star reviews from authors.

Ben reads widely across fiction and non-fiction, and keeps up with how the industry is changing so the advice authors get is current.

Ffion Edwards

Publishing Consultant

An avid reader with a passion for fantasy and thrillers, Ffion loves connecting with authors and helping them navigate every stage of their publishing journey. She builds lasting relationships, offering the guidance and support authors need to bring their stories to life and reach their goals.

Outside of work, Ffion enjoys baking sweet treats and going for a run to unwind after a busy day.

Kristina Howell

Commercial Operations Lead

Kristina works closely with authors to understand their books, ambitions and goals. With a genuine love of reading and a background in project management, she combines a reader’s perspective with a practical, personal approach.

She believes every author and book is different, and takes the time to make the publishing journey feel clear, achievable and less daunting. Whether an author needs editorial guidance, support towards publication or advice on marketing, Kristina helps them understand their options and make confident decisions.

Outside work, she loves reading, spending time with loved ones, getting outdoors and keeping active on her Peloton, but a good book will always win.

Patrick Walsh

Founder and CEO

Patrick’s love of books started early. As a child, he would finish each new Harry Potter book within days. He founded Publishing Push to help other people bring their own stories to readers.

His aim is to make publishing easier to navigate, giving authors the professional support they need while keeping their voice and vision at the heart of the process. More than a decade on, that remains his focus: helping authors create books they’re proud to put their names to.

Get to know Patrick better on his YouTube channel and Substack.

Tarn Walsh

Project Manager

Tarn started at Publishing Push as receptionist, the first point of contact for everyone who got in touch. Over time her role has grown considerably, and she has turned her love of books into her work as a dedicated and talented project manager.

When she isn't crafting books for authors, Tarn is rarely found without one in her hand. She loves hearing about the stories authors are creating for their readers. She is also a keen amateur historian.
