ENORMOUSLY SUCCESSFUL BRAND: The five core books in the Skinny Bitch series have sold over two million copies. Since the 2006 release of the original title, this series has generated huge buzz (even the New York Times called it “A funny foul-mouthed ode to adopting a vegan diet”!).

RECOGNIZABLE, FUN DESIGN: One of the series’ hallmarks has become its playful custom-drawn cover art, and we will be working with the same artist to ensure consistent packaging.

STRONG AUTHOR PLATFORM: Kim appears regularly on national television programs like the Today show. She also has an active website and Facebook page.

FOREIGN RIGHTS OPPORTUNITIES: The Skinny Bitch books have been translated into 21 languages, and the brand is well known around the world.

PERFECTLY ALIGNED WITH TODAY’S HEALTH TRENDS: In her fun, irreverent voice, Kim has pinpointed the major concerns of millions of Americans—not only vegans, but anyone who values fresh, sustainable food and healthy choices.
 

Veganism has quickly gone from the domain of zealous health nuts to the favorite lifestyle of fashion mavens-thanks in no small part to the smart and fearless Skinny Bitch books. Now coauthor Kim Barnouin is back with a two-day sample menu that anyone looking for a healthy alternative will want to try. The number of vegans has been skyrocketing in recent years-even Bill Clinton recently revealed his largely vegan diet. Foodies are well aware of the vegan boom: In the National Restaurant Association’s “What’s Hot in 2011” poll, hundreds of chefs listed vegan entrees as a hot trend. There’s never been a better time to be vegan!

The Try Me Vegan Weekend plan is an easy, user-friendly guide for anyone who wants to try veganism but doesn’t necessarily want the long-term commitment.
