Hundreds of Heads Books will contribute articles based on its survival guidebooks on such topics as child-rearing; marriage and divorce; moving; and the workplace, which will rotate from week-to-week. "News2Use" offers a mix of practical content about home, raising kids, food, personal finance, and health and fitness. Every News2Use story is for sale a la carte or by subscription, and many are accompanied by artwork. "News2Use" is sold by On The Mark Media (www.onthemarkmedia.com), the specialty publications division of Tribune Media Services (TMS), and by KRT (www.krtdirect.com). Hundreds of Heads Books is the creator of a new series of "Survival Guides" that bring readers real-world, sage (and entertaining) advice from hundreds of people across the country. In these guide books, readers get stories and tips on what works-and what doesn't-when it comes to surviving the big events and toughest transitions in their lives, ranging from How to Survive Your Baby's First Year to How to Survive Your Teenager, or from How to Survive Your Freshman Year to How to Survive A Move. The advice comes from the real experts-hundreds of everyday people who have "been there, done that," and have something interesting to say about their experience. Some booksellers are touting this fast growing publisher and its best selling series as a successful cross between the "Chicken Soup for the Soul," "Zagat's," and "Dummies" book series. "Hundreds of Heads Books are dedicated to helping readers face life's bigger challenges by reducing some of their 'first-timer anxiety,'" said Mark Bernstein, co-publisher of Hundreds of Heads Books. "Our Hundreds of Heads Guides offer a wide perspective on a variety of solutions, in an engaging, fun, easy-to-read format, enabling readers to consider a variety of options and find the solution that works best for them. We are very excited to introduce even more readers to some of the best advice from our books through our new relationship with Knight Ridder/Tribune." "Hundreds of Heads is a wonderful addition to our News2Use package. Their survival guides share our goal of helping readers find easy solutions to the problems life throws their way," said Becky Sher, managing editor of KRT Special Sections. "I'm very excited to be able to share Hundreds of Heads' advice with readers."
