Bluebird scoops debut from TikTokker Tinx

Bluebird has acquired the rights to The Shift: Change Your Perspective, Not Yourself, the first book from TikTok influencer Tinx (real name Christina Najjar). 

Hockley Raven Sloane, senior commissioning editor, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights (excluding Canada) from Meredith Miller at United Talent Agency. The book will publish on 25th May 2023. 

Often referred to as "TikTok’s big sister", Tinx is a lifestyle creator and host of the "It’s Me, Tinx" podcast. Her upcoming title is described as a “hilarious and – sometimes brutally – honest” guide to life. 

The synopsis reads: “With hilarious personal anecdotes – from the good to the bad – Tinx demonstrates how we can all learn to transform our approach to decision-making and relationships. For example, stop spiralling over some guy and worrying, ‘How do they feel about me?’ Take a moment to ask yourself, ‘How do they make me feel?’

"From lessons on how to dump with dignity to changing your scarcity mindset to understanding the Box Theory, this guide to simple but counterintuitive mental shifts will completely reframe your inner narrative, and help you better understand how to step into your power and own self-worth.”

Speaking about the book, Tinx said: “If there’s one thing I learned from dating and relationships in my 20s, it’s that this period in women’s lives needs a major rebrand: from a fear-based mindset to an empowering era that focuses on self-discovery, the power of female friendships, and figuring out what brings you joy. I wish I could go back in time and escape the trap of losing sleep over guys who should not have had any say over my self-worth. I can’t time travel, but I can help others avoid the same mistakes. The Shift presents everything I’ve learned to change your perspective and live a fulfilling life.”

Sloane said: "We were charmed by this practical and comprehensive guide by Tinx and her brilliant sisterly advice. I can’t wait for readers to discover her wisdom.”
