Welcome to my website. My name is Sally Page and I am delighted to say that my debut novel, The Keeper of Stories, published by Harper Collins in 2022, is now a Sunday Times Bestseller, was shortlisted for British Book of the Year and has sold over half a million copies.

My new novel The Book of Beginnings was launched in September 2023.

Everyone has a story to tell…

But what if you don’t have a story? If you are Janice you start to collect other people’s stories.

I absolutely loved it! So different, clever, funny and charming.   Katie Fforde Sunday Times Bestseller

This many-layered story is funny, wise, moving and full of lovely moments.  Hazel Prior author of Away with the Penguins

A treasure of a book. Beautiful, emotional and heartfelt. Phaedra Patrick author of The Library of Lost and Found

A book about how the most unexpected friendships can be forged in the most unlikely of places.

Jo knows she is hiding from her past when she steps in to help look after her uncle’s stationery shop. When she meets Ruth, a Runaway Vicar and Malcolm, a septuagenarian struggling to write his first book, she realises she isn’t alone.

As well as creative writing I have a passion for flowers and fountain pens. I am the author of a series of non-fiction books about flower shops and I founded my fountain pen company, Plooms, when I could not find the fountain pen I wanted. In my spare time I paint – sometimes with better results than others.

SALLY PAGE: Biography

After studying history at university, Sally moved to London to work in advertising. In her spare time she studied floristry at night school and eventually opened her own flower shop. Sally came to appreciate that flower shops offer a unique window into people’s stories and she began to photograph and write about this floral life in a series of non-fiction books. Later, she continued her interest in writing when she founded her fountain pen company, Plooms.co.uk.

In her debut novel, The Keeper of Stories, Sally combines her love of history and writing with her abiding interest in the stories people have to tell. In her second novel, The Book of Beginnings Sally draws on her love of stationery.

Sally now lives in Dorset. Her eldest daughter, Alex, is studying to be a doctor and her younger daughter is the author, Libby Page. Both are keen wild swimmers.
