You're the Best: A Celebration of Friendship

By Lian Dolan, Liz Dolan, Julie Dolan and 2 more

Satellite Sisters have a popular podcast that grew out of their successful radio show on NPR and, later, ABC. They also had a successful book (with sales of more than 50,000) and national exposure, including appearances on Oprah and the Today Show. They will promote via their podcast, website, and active social media following, as well as a national publicity campaign, including excerpts from the new book.

Satellite Sister Lian Dolan is a media-savvy writer with a strong following for her two novels, Helen of Pasadena and Elizabeth the First Wife, both of which continue to sell steadily, and she will connect with them to market You're the Best.

The market for a funny, inspirational gift book aimed at women is strong. The contributors range in age from 15 to 60 (You're the Best brings in the next generation of Satellite Sisters), so its appeal cuts across demographics. But the core is fans of Anne Lamott, Anna Quindlen, and Annabel Gurwitch.

It will be a beautiful book with strong physical gift appeal.
