New York, NY: Sterling Publishing and the Napoleon Hill Foundation have agreed to publish a series of Think and Grow Rich books, according to Sterling’s editorial director, Michael Fragnito. The first book, Three Feet from Gold, by Sharon L. Lechter and Greg S. Reid will be published this coming October. Sharon Lechter is the co-author of the international best-seller Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and 14 books in the Rich Dad series. Greg Reid is the author of The Millionaire Mentor.
“We are delighted to be in partnership with the Napoleon Hill Foundation and Sharon and Greg,” said Fragnito. We couldn’t ask for a better team to give us a modern-day version of Think and Grow Rich, arguably the most successful self-help book of all time.”
“Three Feet From Gold continues Hill’s mission to provide hope and inspiration to anyone seeking it and its release will celebrate the 100th anniversary of when Napoleon Hill began his work on Think and Grow Rich,” said Don Green, CEO of the Napoleon Hill Foundation.
Three Feet From Gold is the first book to be published under Sterling’s new Author Ownership program, in which authors not only share in the profits, but in many of the major publishing decisions. “Sterling has not only recognized the need to modernize the publishing business model, but now leads the way through this innovative new Author Ownership model. We look forward to continuing the great work of Napoleon Hill through this partnership,” said Sharon Lechter. “This has been the greatest collaboration one could imagine. Mr. Hill would be proud,” said Greg Reid.
Three Feet From Gold will be published in October, 2009. For more information, visit http://www.threefeetaway.com.
