Warrington author knocks Sunday Times bestsellers off top Amazon Kindle spots

Warrington author Louisa Herridge has launched a collaborative book “If I Could Tell Her” which has knocked four Sunday Times bestselling books off the top spots in their relevant categories in Amazon for Kindle.

The books in question are: Women & Power by Mary Beard, You’re not the Problem by Katie McKenna & Helen Villiers and The Devil you Know: Encounters in Forensic Psychiatry by Dr Gwen Adshead – which was also a Sunday Times, New Statesman and Irish Times book of the year.

Herridge’s new offering is also beating bestselling self-help book of all time in the UK, The Chimp Paradox by professor Steve Peters.

“If I Could Tell Her” features six other female entrepreneurs – Sophie Allen, Katie Mc, Indie Moon, Amanda Bettridge, Stacey Withington and Kate Brindley. They share their courage and strength collectively to inspire others to reframe and leave behind past challenges.

The book contains honest accounts which reveal the positivity and growth that can be found in trauma and adversity and are not about changing the past but being grateful for the lessons learned.

The five categories in Amazon Kindle “If I could tell her” is now number one in include –

  • Emotions and feelings
  • Psychoanalysis
  • Theory of psychoanalysis
  • Violence against women
  • Parenting emotions and feelings

Louisa Herridge (pictured) the Storytelling for Success coach, is a three-times best-selling author and TEDx speaker. She is a passionate and empowering coach who inspires and supports women to find their own power and success through their story in business, books and beyond.

She said: “Running a book collaboration for me isn’t just about hitting number one, it is about bringing together women, creating beautiful relationships, holding hands, space and hearts so that these women can tap into their past and tell it with confidence, pride and passion.”

“Each author has written her chapter to inspire people to see that none of us are alone in our adversity and we all have the inner strength and resilience to heal and grow. No matter how many times we are knocked down, we can get back up and these real-life experiences of lives lived with blood, sweat and tears will help you to see how anyone can change their thinking to live a life filled with hope and happiness.”

Louisa and fellow entrepreneur Jo Wildsmith are the co-founders of The Publishing Pod, who have brought this book to life.

Jo said: “At ‘The Publishing Pod’ we combine our talents to enable stories to be told and published with passion and precision and we are hugely grateful to the incredible women who have collaborated with us to create this.”

Louisa’s story within the book is named ‘Your story is your superpower’.  The other stories within the book explore the themes of childhood trauma, domestic abuse, grief, anxiety, cancer battles, people pleasing, self-sabotage, self-acceptance and self love.

If I Could Tell Her, is available now via Amazon for £0.99 on Kindle and £11.99 in paperback.
