Hello!
We are very excited that leading New York clinical psychologist Dr Tony Ortega will be coming to the UK next month (his first visit here!) to officially launch his debut self-help book#IsHeHereYet: Being The Person You Want To Be With. Dr Tony Ortega works primarily with the LGBT community at his New York practice.
#IsHeHereYet is not about finding ‘the one' but being ‘the one'. Grounded in his personal experiences (he started writing it after his relationship with ‘the one' ended after 69 days) and professional expertise and knowledge, this is a raw and funny look at the perceived epidemic of being single in our quest for love. It dismantles the myth that there is something we must do to bring in ‘the one', instead challenging you to be ‘the one' and see what shows up then.
Dr Tony will be at the London Book Fair (10-11 April) and on the awesome panel at the Polari Soho Special on 9thApril. In London for one-week only, it would be wonderful if we could arrange a time for you to chat about the book during his stay. We are trying to make his first visit to England as much fun as possible and, of course, to raise awareness about his work and his new book. We'd be very happy to send you a copy in advance. A press release is below with lots more info but if you have any questions, please ask away!
Thanks for your time,

Dr Tony Ortega's debut book, #IsHeHereYet: Being the Person You Want to Be With is an extremely raw (and funny) look at the perceived epidemic of being single in our quest for love. It dismantles the notion that there is something that we need to do in order to bring in "The One." Instead, it challenges you to be "The One" and see what shows up then. Regardless of the outcome, the end result will be the best version of you possible.
This book is written for gay, straight, single, coupled people like.Unlike other ‘dating' or relationship self-help books, it is not about finding the one but being the one.Described as equal parts Sigmund Freud, Marianne Williamson and Augusten Burroughs, through personal and professional accounts of real life situations, as well as thought-expanding exercises and meditation tools, the reader will leave with a greater understanding and concept of themselves and increased comfort in being single. They will be able to "date themselves" and create the space to naturally attract loving and authentic relationships.
