Amanda Ross was recently rated as the most influential person in British publishing. As the creator of the Richard and Judy Book Club, Ross is charged with choosing ten books each year for discussion.

Joint managing director of Cactus TV (the company that makes Richard & Judy), Ross was the brains behind the idea for the book club. She noted "if a book was on the show, it would always go straight into the charts". Following the success of Oprah's Book Club in the US, Ross approached the British book awards about televising them.
