William Collins scoops first book from duo behind Feel Good Club

William Collins has scooped the first book from the duo behind lifestyle brand Feel Good Club.  

Bengono Bessala, commissioning editor, acquired world rights to Feel Good Club: A Guide to Feeling Good and Being Okay With it When You’re Not, directly from the authors Kiera Lawlor-Skillen and Aimie Lawlor-Skillen. It will publish on 18th August.

Feel Good Club has made a success of spreading, encouraging and sharing positivity. The couple’s mission is to normalise sharing how we feel, with a positive focus being the central, driving force in the daily management of our mental health. In their first book, they will combine the knowledge and wisdom learnt from the challenges they have faced with the inspirational quotes that Feel Good Club is renowned for into an "indispensable positivity manifesto that will inspire, encourage, and guide through the hard times as well as the good". 

Bessala said: “Aimie and Kiera started Feel Good Club to create a space which allowed us all to discuss our feelings openly and honestly. I wanted their positivity to be accessible to as many readers as possible and I’m so excited to be doing this by publishing the Feel Good Club book.” 

The authors added: “We are super excited to be publishing our first book, it’s something we’ve dreamt of since we started Feel Good Club. We hope that it helps us on our mission to making as many people as possible feel good about themselves every day. We want to let everyone know it’s okay to talk about mental health and feelings in general.”
