Author needs a good ‘hook’ so she can repitch Oprah

“I’m a best-selling author and my last book, The Life Organizer: A Woman’s Guide to a Mindful Year, got a call back from an Oprah producer in March 2007.  They called us saying, ‘We love the book but don’t know how to use it. We will be in touch.’

“Nothing since, even though we have repitched.

“The book is for women who juggle conflicting roles and schedules. It shows them how to slay the ‘time monsters’ that keep them from following their dreams. It has 13 planning sections with four weeks of theme-based questions and includes true stories of other women who have used the program to improve their lives and discover their soul’s purpose.

“I want to repitch again with a new angle but am so close to the material, I’m clueless.  My wonderful publisher, New World Library, will do the pitching, but they are out of ideas as well.

“Anybody have a good hook?”
