Sara Rosen

Sara Rosen (born 1973) was the publisher of Miss Rosen Editions, her own imprint, at powerHouse Books, where she was also Associate Publisher and Publicity & Marketing Director. She left after ten years to start her own company, Miss Rosen.

Sara Rosen was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and moved to the Bronx in 1978. She attended Fiorello H. Laguardia High School of Music and Art as a fine art major (graduating in 1991). She received her B.A. in Art History from The City College of New York, where she graduated Phi Beta Kappa/Summa Cum Laude in 1996, and M.A. in Journalism focusing in Cultural Reporting and Criticism from New York University in 1998.

The culture of the Bronx at that time greatly influenced Rosen, who went on to publish several books about New York City in the 1970s and 1980s under her imprint, Miss Rosen Editions, with powerHouse Books including the legendary hip-hop epic, Wild Style by Charles Ahearn (2007), "Do Not Give Way to Evil: Photographs of the South Bronx, 1979–1987" by Lisa Kahane (2008), "It’s Just Begun: The Epic Journey of DJ Disco Wiz, Hip Hop’s First Latino DJ" by Ivan Sanchez and DJ Disco Wiz (2009), "Vandal Squad: Inside the New York City Transit Police Department, 1984–2004" by Joseph Rivera (2008), and "New York State of Mind" by Martha Cooper (2007)

Growing up in New York City in the 1970s and 1980s inspired Rosen to curate "That 70s Show: New York City in the 1970s", a 50-artist exhibition at The powerHouse Arena, Brooklyn, in March 2007 and edit an edition of powerHouse Magazine of the same name featuring the works of Bobby Seale, Afrika Bambaataa, Patti Astor, Godlis, Roberta Bayley, Diego Cortez, Maripol, ,John Fekner, and many others.
