McNidder & Grace Publishers
McNidder & Grace Limited was founded in 2011 by publisher Andy Peden Smith, who now collaborates with his partner, Caroline Peden Smith, to run the business.
Both Andy and Caroline possess a wealth of experience in publishing, with a strong track record of producing high-quality, award-winning books.
The company specialises in both non-fiction and fiction titles aimed at adults, with a particular focus on popular culture. Their non-fiction catalogue features a diverse range of subjects, including photography, art, music, biography, history, country pursuits, and, more recently, health and well-being.
Additionally, they take great pride in their acclaimed “Railway Journeys in Art Poster to Poster” series. This is a nine-volume collection of beautifully illustrated railway travel books produced in collaboration with the National Railway Museum and Swann Galleries in New York.
In the realm of fiction, McNidder & Grace primarily focuses on Crime and Thrillers, including the best-selling Torquil MacLeod Malmö series.

Joanne Carter
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK.
