(Nashville, Tenn.) August 14, 2023 – Influential podcaster, highly sought after speaker, and content creator Tim Ross has signed a two-book deal with Nelson Books, an imprint of Thomas Nelson. The first book is slated to release in February 2024 and will be a reimagined version of Ross’s 2020 bestseller, Upset the World. Packed with fresh perspectives and accessible, actionable advice, this publication aims to empower readers to upset the monotony of the mundane and enter into the powerful, authentic, upside-down life of the Kingdom of God.
Ross hosts the popular and rapidly growing podcast The Basement with Tim Ross and shares his message on his social media platforms @Upsetthegram and on TikTok as @Upsetthetok, where he shares bite-sized insights, motivational videos, and behind-the-scenes moments from his speaking engagements and creative process. Ross will be speaking at churches, conferences, and events nationwide and aims to upset the world with a sincere but subversive message of hope and the love of Jesus Christ.
“Nelson Books enthusiastically welcomes Tim Ross to our publishing program. Tim is a creative pioneer and visionary, a thought leader and pastoral voice, an advocate for truth and beauty,” said Andrew Stoddard, VP & Publisher. “Time and again, Tim demonstrates his ability to cut through today’s constant barrage of digital noise and offer tremendous comfort and challenge. We are eager to bring these powerful publications to market.”
“I am on a mission to turn people’s expectations upside down and leave them right side up, even when it comes to writing books,” said Ross. “I’m excited to bring Upset the World and my future book to readers and inspire them to change the world.”
Andrew Stoddard, publisher of Nelson Books, secured world rights. Curtis Wallace, Law Office of Curtis W. Wallace, PC, represents Ross.
