BOOKMAN BEATTIE ADMIRES ENERGY AND ENTERPRISE SO HERE IS A PLUG FOR A NEW BOOK FROM A YOUNG ENTERPRISING AUTHOR

My name is Eva-Maria. I’m 17 years old and I have recently written a book called ‘You Shut Up!’ which is a book about parenting teenagers. There has been an immense amount of publicity around it including Close Up and the Breakfast Show, booksellers newsletter and others.
The book is featured in Women’s Weekly this week and Her Business Magazine next issue (and there will be an article in Girlfriend magazine in their April issue, coming out on the 2nd of March) – these are some of the definite publications coming up soon.

Because of tight publishing timeframes, this book has not been bought by major book chains. Head offices of bookstores such as Paper Plus reviewed the book and included it in their database. They also suggested that we approach bookstores personally and offer this book. I am writing to you today to offer you an opportunity you should definitely take advantage of! Here is an extract from the press release published in Scoop:

“It took only a week for Eva-Maria’s “You Shut Up!” book to become #1 bestseller at Dymocks on Lambton Quay, And it had been bestseller or the past 4 weeks in a row. Wellington. Bruce Caddy from Dymocks, known for his support of local authors, was the first in Wellington to stock this book written by the 17 year old in hope that parents are smart and can learn how to create win-win solutions using hints offered by the book. Russian-born Wellington teenage author Eva-Maria is on a mission to improve one million parent-teenager relationships all over the world, and she is now one step closer to achieving this goal.

“I’m really honoured.”, says Eva-Maria, “This book came from the heart and I wouldn’t have let it even go to print if I didn’t believe what I wrote. I think people appreciate the fact that this book is different from all the other parenting books. I just know it’ll make a positive change for everyone who has read it.”

As if publishing a book is not enough, Eva-Maria wants to take real action and will be donating at least 10% of profits to a teenager’s associated project.

For years it was a parent’s job to write books for others with parenting advice, trying to bridge the gap between generations from one side and sometimes being biased to an adult vision of the world. Today, a teenager puts her hand up to start building a bridge from the other side. Overwhelming support from parents and teenagers in the past 40 days since the book was released ensures there is a hope for Eva-Maria’s dream of reducing inter-generational conflict and learning how to find a win-win solution in every family.

Today I am writing to you personally, because while other bookstores are still thinking you can be the first (and possibly the only) in your town to stock it. We will list all bookstores that stock the book, on our website and we will issue a certificate of charitable support to every bookstore selling the book as 10% of book profits are going to support a teenage related project. Find out more about the book in the documents attached.
