The Self Help Salon is the brainchild of Suzanne Falter-Barns, author of How Much Joy Can You Stand? and Living Your Joy (both Ballantine), and creator of The Self Help Author’s Crash Course. It was developed when Suzanne realized that the critical element most often missing from self-help book proposals was a strong platform for the author. It is her goal here to bring together the right platform building tools with those who need them most.
In the mid-90’s, Suzanne went from being a corporate drone longing to have a successful career as a writer to actually doing it. Her articles and essays have been published in many national publications including SELF, More, the New York Times, Woman’s World, Fitness and Prevention. She had a regular column in New Age Journal, and successfully parlayed her first self-help book (which garnered 28 rejections) into a six-figure, two book deal with the world’s largest publisher. She has led workshops, retreats, and corporate seminars in the US and Canada, and now teaches primarily through teleclasses and programs sold through her websites. Her ezine, ‘The Joy Letter’, is read by more than 25,000 people, and she has trained facilitator’s to lead her How Much Joy Can You Stand? workshop in more than twenty countries.
