A True Author Success Story
By DianeOn February 9, Dr. Alex Loyd’s The Healing Code will be released by a major New York publisher, Hachette. It will be published in the Grand Central Life & Style imprint.
As a publishing coach and the editor of The Healing Code, I couldn’t be more thrilled. I know how rare it is for a first-time author to get the kind of attention this book has gotten from a major traditional publishing house. Publisher’s Lunch reported it as a “significant deal.” Such deals are always rare, but in today’s publishing climate, they are almost unheard of.
Another important marker of the book’s success is that foreign rights have been sold in a number of languages. So far, rights have been sold in 12 countries/languages: United Kingdom, Australia; Bulgarian, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, and Spanish.
As a Certified Healing Codes Practitioner, I am very excited about this. We HC Practitioners serve clients from all over the world, so it’s very exciting to know that the book will be available in so many countries. (I got a custom code for a client in Portugal just last week. We connected via Skype. Now I can tell him the book will be available in his language.)
Dr. Loyd wrote a wonderful book, as the majority of 381 reviewers of the first edition on Amazon attest. He is to be congratulated for his hard work.
It may seem like “overnight success.” Within months of its being published in March 2009, it soared to the top of the amazon bestseller lists, hitting #1 in 10 categories now. Yet “overnight success” rarely is overnight. Dr. Loyd’s success is based on the spiritual success principles he teaches and lives (listen to the Cutting Edge archived programs), hard and smart work, relationships he’s built, and of course, writing a book that other people find genuinely life-transforming.
