I'm Interviewing a 'Dream' Guest Next Week
Toni Jones will be ‘Live’ with ME talking about her debut book - ‘YOU’ 💛
Hellooooo!
Join us for ChatStack ‘Live’ on Tuesday 12th May at 1pm (BST), where I’ll be interviewing Toni Jones. Someone who has been on my ‘Dream Guests’ list since early last year. We’ll be discussing Toni’s debut book ‘YOU’ – The Beginners Guide, which is available to buy NOW until 26th May.
This is real ‘pinch me’ moment, as I’ve admired Toni and the work she does with her fabulous ‘Shelf Help Club’ here on Substack (and beyond) for a while now. When we met IRL at an event in Southampton last year, we just clicked (like I thought we might😉) and have since started to develop a lovely friendship.☺️
About Toni Jones
Toni is a journalist turned bibliotherapist (yes, that IS a thing). She is the founder and editor of ‘The Shelf Help Clubhouse’ – The world’s first dedicated self-help book club, established in 2017.
Her awesome membership (of which I’m a happy member) is designed to support you in reading, reflecting and applying self-development. With carefully curated read-alongs and cosy and connected author events.
Toni’s journey into the personal development world began following burnout (during her intense career in media) which saw her turning to self-help books as a tool for recovery and change.
Over the past 10 years, Toni has read over 1000 self-help books (yes, you read that correctly), interviewed hundreds of authors and wellbeing experts. Including Gretchen Rubin, Hal Elrod | Author + Speaker, Dr David Hamilton and Ella Mills (Deliciously Ella).
All of which has now led to Toni writing her debut book, ‘YOU’ – “The Beginner’s Guide”. 🟨
🟨‘YOU’ is a bite-size guide that distils the most valuable lessons from a decade spent immersed in the self-development space. Toni has developed a brilliant three-step framework – the Connected Self MethodTM
Toni’s carefully developed framework features expert tools designed to help people get to know themselves better and support their journey towards Self-Discovery, Life Design, and Life Support.
“Self-help isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about getting to know yourself
and then designing a life that fits” – Toni
The Publishers
Publishing her book with The Pound Project felt like the right fit for Toni, as she values the ethos of the company. An independent publisher based in the UK, “putting writers and readers first”.
The Pound Project crowdfund for only one title at a time, making limited edition copies and only printing what they sell.
As well as being environmentally friendly, the deliberate short-running campaign (3 weeks) enables them to work closely with individual writers and provide a dedicated service.
‘YOU’ is available to buy NOW until 26th May!
Find Out More
Head to The YOU Virtual Book Tour HUB on Toni’s Substack Publication to view upcoming events, find out more about the book, the launch, and catch up on coverage of the tour so far.
There have been some great conversations and written interviews so far, with Rosamund Dean, Daisy Buchanan (my personal favourite), Josephine McGrail, Jo Hutton and Clarisse Monahan.
I’m absolutely honoured to be a part of Toni’s fabulous virtual book tour and I love the energy and enthusiasm she brings to each and every event.
You can immediately tell that Toni has a genuine passion and dedication to supporting others in their journey of self-discovery and beyond.
I can also tell you from first-hand experience, that working with Toni using her Connected Self MethodTM during three gorgeous coaching sessions, was such a valuable, supportive and nurturing experience.💛
Do join us on ChatStack ‘Live’ – Tuesday 12th May at 1pm (BST)
It will be a more interactive ‘live’ than previous weeks and listeners will be encouraged to comment and/or ask any questions you might have for Toni.
If you can’t make it to the ‘live’, worry not, I will be posting the replay later in the week.
That’s all for now, thanks for reading!
P.s. You can support Toni and the launch of her debut book by sharing or re-staking this post! 💛
