New Deal: PLEASE WEAR HEADPHONES: ASMR GUIDE AND COLORING BOOK by Sean Martines

Sean Martines' PLEASE WEAR HEADPHONES: ASMR GUIDE AND COLORING BOOK has sold to Patty Rice at Andrews McMeel.

Featuring illustrations made for specific ASMR triggers, this new coloring book provides a guide for those uninitiated to the Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response as well as journal pages to record responses.

"When Sean first came to me with this project, I had no idea what ASMR was. Now, I'm an avid explorer of this new frontier in wellness,” said The Rights Factory agent Natalie Kimber. “I'm so intrigued to see what the modality can offer us, especially when the content is made with true sincerity and respect to craft, as Sean has done here! I'm very excited to help bring this to all existing and especially new ASMR converts!"

PLEASE WEAR HEADPHONES is scheduled for publication in Fall 2022.
