“Nothing since, even though we have repitched.<\/p>\n

“The book is for women who juggle\u00a0conflicting roles and schedules.\u00a0It shows them\u00a0how to\u00a0slay the ‘time monsters’\u00a0that keep them from following their dreams.\u00a0It 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\u00a0lives and discover their soul’s purpose.<\/p>\n

“I want to repitch again with a new angle but am so close to the material, I’m clueless.\u00a0 My wonderful publisher, New World Library, will do the pitching, but they are out of ideas as well.<\/p>\n

“Anybody have a good hook?”<\/p>\n
