HarperCollins Ireland scoops 'no-nonsense' guide to personal finance by O'Garro

HarperCollins Ireland has scooped a “no-nonsense” guide to personal finance by Santis O’Garro. 

Catherine Gough, commissioning editor, bought world all language rights to The Money Mentor directly from O’Garro. It will be published on 5th January 2023. 

In December 2018, O’Garro was a newly single mother in €15,000 (£13,000) of debt, with bills mounting and no one to turn to for help. The only option was to face her bad financial habits so she could get out of debt. A year later, she had not only eradicated her debt, but was also financially secure enough to quit her job and pursue a new career. Her book promises to show readers how to change their money mindset so they can live a debt-free life too.  

O’Garro said: “Money is something that I have had different views on. I’ve loathed it, worshipped it, discarded it, depended on it, respected it, and now I guide it. I’ve been sharing my financial journey with my Instagram followers for years, and I’m delighted to be able to write a book that puts all of that knowledge in one place. Few of us are taught how to manage our money, so the fact that people can learn from my experience of becoming debt-free makes me incredibly proud. I’m so happy to be working with HarperCollins Ireland to get The Money Mentor out there to those who need it most." 

Gough added: “I’m so pleased to be working with Santis O’Garro to publish such an essential book. Financial wellness is so important, yet achieving it can be overwhelming and often feel out of reach. Santis is a powerhouse of advice and practical guidance, and her personal story of working her way out of debt is inspirational. She has truly walked the walk, and I’m delighted that she is sharing her invaluable expertise in The Money Mentor.”
