Synopsis

There are many people who feel disenchanted with their lives. They feel they have more potential and want to make a difference rather than just working to earn a paycheck.

Albert Einstein has a quote, “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

Our system is lacking when it comes to discovering a person's true gifts and talents. The focus is on education and the more stable career paths of being a doctor, lawyer or engineer.

This book will work to redirect readers onto their soul's true path. To learn about their unique talents and gifts so that they can live their lives on purpose.

They will work on self discovery along with deprogramming their brain's need for acceptance from others. It will also support them in living a healthier life altogether to reverse burn out.

Americans tend to burn themselves out and work themselves to death. We focus on doing verses being. This book will support people not only in getting back on the path that was meant for them, but also in thriving rather than just surviving in this thing we call life (which also requires deprogramming of unhealthy cultural norms).

Shereen Thor has gone through this struggle herself and is quite obsessed with the subject. She once quit a master's degree and started doing stand up comedy to begin the process of answering her soul's call rather than caving in to familial expectations.

She found her purpose she became so obsessed with it that she quickly burnt out and started to experience some serious health issues. This is where the balance of awakening the rebel (your true essence) needed to be balanced with a healthy level of self care.

During this process of self discovery and irrational decision making Shereen became a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), studied Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Positive Psychology and founded a company called Awaken The Rebel.

It is based on the idea that sometimes we need to break the rules and make irrational decisions on behalf of our soul's true calling. She is the host of the Awaken The Rebel Podcast and through this movement she has helped thousands of people to quiet the noise of familial and societal expectations so that they can discover their life's purpose and create a lifestyle by design.

This book will be the embodiment of this philosophy and practice to support those who are looking to find themselves and reset their path so that they can finally feel they are reaching their potential and making their mark on this planet.

Sales arguments

  • Research shows 83% of American workers are stressed out
  • Research shows 53% of American workers are burnt out
  • There are 120,000 preventable deaths related to stress per year
  • So when you support this book you become a hero and save lives (you're welcome).
  • Burnout is not only caused by working yourself too hard, but also from working on things that don't fuel you

Similar titles

  • I'm Fine...and other lies by Whitney Cummings. Published by G. P. Putnam's Sons 2017. The advantage that the ATR book has is that it's written in the same humble comedic tone, but by someone who is in the field of personal development and does transformational work for a living.
  • The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - A counterintuitive approach to living a good life by Mark Manson. Published by HarperOne in 2016. The advantage the ATR book has is that it will be written from the perspective of an ethnic female which the marketplace is interested in at this time.
  • Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop believing the lies about who you are so you can become who you were meant to be, published by Nelson Books in 2018. The ATR book will have an advantage because the author is more relatable which will connect strongly with the reader.

Cranthorpe Millner

250 copies • Partial manuscript.
Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

1106 Design, LLC

Dear Author,

You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.

1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”

We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.

If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.

1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.

How can we serve you today?

Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
