We are delighted to announce the publication of The Other Side – a memoir of hope in the midst of depression, an unflinchingly honest, often quirky and subtly inspirational memoir by Mr Neil Kelders. Neil Kelders is a mental health and wellbeing advocate, coach and international speaker, who has been working with the JM Agency team for the entirety of his book publishing journey.
In The Other Side, Neil identifies the mindset that makes it difficult for us to change. Drawing on his own battles, and with his signature humour, Neil’s message is one of hope despite all.
Blending autobiography, philosophical reflection and practical action-steps for change, The Other Side is an insight into how a better life is possible. Each chapter contains ‘Neil’s Notes’, practical tools and actions you can try. Each book comes with a QR code to a free eBook, which contains additional tools and practical advice.
JM Agency editors Jeremy, Susan and Joseph are proud to have worked with Neil on earlier drafts of his promising manuscript, providing a range of editorial services, including our comprehensive editor’s report service. JM Agency book designer Parvathi Venkitaraman created the impactful cover for The Other Side, in addition to creating the unique book interiors, striking that punchy, leftfield style and presentation that Neil was looking for. Jeremy and Amanda provided invaluable guidance and advice to Neil on all aspects of publishing, including distribution and retailing, through our author mentoring service.
The Other Side, available in both eBook and print format, is currently stocked in range of online retailers, including Amazon, Book Depository, Books-A-Million and more. You can order The Other Side from your local bookstore, including your favourite indie bookstore, from wholesalers like Gardners – just give the title, subtitle and author’s name.
Neil provided this kind review of our services:
‘Special thanks to the JM Agency, Publishing Consultancy team. Including Susan Lewando, Amanda J Evans and Joseph Youorski for their expert editing and advice, Parvathi N Venkitaraman for her professional cover, and to Jeremy for steering the ship so expertly — they make it all possible. Having this team to work as a support was incredible because along the road I became overwhelmed and doubted myself, but the reassurances and gentle touch from this team allowed me to grow into my role – I’m officially an author 🙂 Thanks Neil.‘
We wish Neil the very best on his journey to bring his fascinating and essential story to the world.
