Saturday, July 9, 2022
NASHVILLE, Tenn. , July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomas Nelson, an imprint of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, announces today that it will publish Collecting Confidence: Start Where You Are to Become the Person You Were Meant to Be by celebrated TV personality, style expert and award-winning entrepreneur Kim Gravel. Gravel has over 20 years of success in the entertainment, fashion, and beauty industries, including starring in the reality show Kim of Queens and two of the most successful brands on QVC in recent history. The book was acquired at auction in a significant deal by Executive Editor Janet Talbert from Claudia Riemer Boutote at Red Raven Studio. The book, Gravel's first, is scheduled to release in April 2023.
As a compelling entertainer, Gravel infuses colorful conversation and fun stories into everything she does. Her passion is to empower every woman to "believe in your own beauty." Gravel founded Belle by Kim Gravel and Belle Beauty which are sold on QVC and hosts a bevy of number one shows on the network. In addition to her television work, she is an inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, and former Miss Georgia.
"I am excited to partner with the team at Thomas Nelson," said Gravel. "It is my hope that Collecting Confidence will help everyone who reads this book start right where they are to become everything they were meant to be. It's time to chip away the negative images and find the masterpiece that's just waiting to be revealed. I know there is greatness in every woman. You've been collecting it since the day you were born. Deep down, you know that too! Life is an all-you-can-eat buffet, including dessert. You don't have to settle for the crumbs."
Drawn from the ups and downs of her own life, from her Southern roots to becoming the Queen of QVC, Gravel's first book will call readers to collect their confidence and remember who they really are when faced with trials and challenges.
"We are proud to partner with Kim Gravel on Collecting Confidence," said Tim Paulson, VP and Publisher of Nelson Books. "She is an inspirational powerhouse dedicated to changing women's lives. Her motivational message resonates with the empowering books, authors, and brands we publish which transform the lives of readers."
