Friends and colleagues from every chapter of my career—from Moviefone to Time Inc., angel investing to publishing—all together in one room. What a special night! ✨

@cassierosenthal and @lynettehb, thank you for hosting me at the gorgeous Rosenthal offices and bringing everyone together to celebrate Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour. I loved our conversation and felt so much love in that room. My heart is full! 💕

Happy pub day to the amazing Fran Hauser, who I’m lucky enough to call my client! Fran’s latest book, 20 Minutes Is the New Hour, hits shelves today.

All we have is this moment, and we don’t know how many more we’ll get. Many of us, women in particular, misuse our time in ways that have not been named before. Why give something an hour by default when all we need is 20 minutes? (Or even better, 0 minutes if you recognize that particular task qualifies for your “To Don’t List”.) The goal isn’t to spend each day doing more, faster. As Fran says, instead of asking “How long will this take?” we should instead ask, “How much time do I want to give it?”

By recognizing our personal time-sucking nemeses, which Fran calls the Four P’s—People Pleasing, Procrastination, Perfectionism, and (time) Padding—we can shave precious minutes off each hour, saving them for what truly matters.

Thank you, Fran, for inspiring me to be more intentional not only with my time but also with my energy, and to whom I give it. You raise the bar in every possible way, creating a personal mantra I’ve come to call “The Fran Standard.” (Perhaps this is your next book??) Huge congratulations! Readers are so lucky to receive your wisdom and I’m so grateful to be one of your publishing partners. You are nothing short of a dream to work with. Enjoy all 1,440 minutes of this very special day!!

Thank you also to Jodi Lipper for your word wizardry and skillful editorial eye, to Amy Li and Paul Whitlatch for seeing the vision for this book and for being the perfect publishing partners for this project, and to everyone on the Crown Currency team at Penguin Random House for championing Fran’s book in such a wonderful way.

Thank you also to Susan McPherson for introducing me to Fran—back when we were writing Susan’s book—and also to Gina Pell and Amy Parker for creating space for our reconnection through The What Alliance.

Thank you, all!

SHE’S HERE!!! 💛📚

Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour is officially out in the world today!

This is my third book, but this launch feels different. So much has changed since my last one came out. I opened Bedford Books. My boys have gotten older (how I have a ninth grader and an eleventh grader, I’m still not quite sure). My niece (who is like my daughter) got married. My parents are getting older too, and I’m spending more time helping and caring for them.

And somewhere in the middle of all of it, I wrote a book about time.

The biggest thing I’ve learned? I don’t need another way to squeeze more into my days. I need to get better at deciding what deserves my time—and what doesn’t.

That’s what this book is really about: spending less time on the things that drain us so we can make more room for the people, work, and experiences that matter most. I hope it gives you back some of that time. 💛

And because it’s launch day, I have to ask! If you’d like to support the book, you can buy a copy wherever you normally buy books (or come see us at Bedford Books!), leave a review, share the book with a friend, invite me to speak at your organization, or come see me on book tour. Every single bit of support means more than you know.

I’m deeply grateful to everyone who helped get Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour into the world, with a special shout-out to @jackiemashton, @a_li17, and @jodilipper.

Here we go!!! 💛📚✨

She’s here—and she’s a beauty! 💛📚

This is the first book I’ve written while also owning a bookstore, so having 300 copies of Twenty Minutes Is the New Hour arrive at Bedford Books today feels extra special. Seeing all those boxes in my shop was definitely a moment. 🥹

And now the team gets to work! We’ll be packing up and shipping all of your preorders, and if you chose store pickup, we’ll email you when your book is ready. 🎉

Two weeks to go!! 💛

Three simple ways to take back your time—starting this week. ⏰

Say yes with intention. Ask who before how. And question whether that hour really needs to be an hour.

Small shifts. More time for what matters. 💛

𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 is out on 9/22! Two more weeks! 📚

💛 Okay, friends...it’s officially preorder season!

𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 is just six weeks away, and I truly can’t wait for you to read it.

One thing most people don’t realize is that every preorder counts toward a book’s first week of sales. 📚 That first week helps a book become more visible, find its readers, and gives it its best shot at making a bestseller list.

If 𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 is on your TBR pile, preordering is one of the most meaningful ways you can support it. It truly makes such a difference. ✨

As a little preorder gift, I’ll send you my 20-Minute Mindset Challenge so you can start reclaiming your time before your copy even arrives. ⏱️

Preorder at the link in my bio. 🔗

Thank you for being on this journey with me. It means more than you know. 🫶

After months of editing, revising, and proofreading, I’d gotten so close to the words that I almost stopped seeing them!

Reading the audiobook changed that. It brought me back to the heart of why I wrote this book and reminded me who I wrote it for.

I can’t wait for you to hear it. 🎙️💛

A very exciting first this week... ✨

𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 was featured in a Publishers Weekly roundup of notable business books, and seeing the cover in a magazine for the very first time was pretty special. 🥹📚

The article highlights the book’s message that many of us lose time to what I call the 4 P’s: perfectionism, people-pleasing, procrastination, and padding (giving tasks more time than they actually need), and offers a more intentional approach to where we direct our time and energy.

It’s hard to describe what it feels like to spend years working on something and then start seeing it make its way into the world.

Feeling grateful, excited, and more motivated than ever to get this book into readers’ hands. 💛

𝘛𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘺 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴 𝘐𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 comes out September 22 and is available for preorder now. Link in bio. ✨

What's the collective noun for a gathering of ghostwriters?... a quiver?... a volume?... a colloquy?...

Call it what you will, but be sure to join us for this episode as host Daniel Paisner moderates a panel discussion at the second annual "Gathering of the Ghosts" ghostwriting conference earlier this year.

Dan is joined by former As Told To guests Jodi Lipper, Lisa Dickey, and Ellen Daly, as the veteran collaborators compare notes on craft and process—a fun, spirited, insightful reflection on the very many ways authors and journalists are writing in collaboration.
