A huge congrats to KAA author and neuroscientist Friederike Fabritius!
DECLUTTER YOUR BRAIN, pitched as “Marie Kondo for the mind,” was just acquired by Lauren Marino at Simon Element, in a six-figure deal. It was agented here at KAA by Kevin Anderson and Erika Niven.
We’re excited to collaborate with Friederike on the writing of this book, bringing her remarkable insights to new readers.
DECLUTTER YOUR BRAIN Will Follow Friederike’s Two Previous Books
The Leading Brain: Neuroscience Hacks to Work Smarter, Better, Happier is a business book that applies neuroscience to leadership and performance, offering science-based strategies for individuals and teams to improve focus, decision-making, and overall effectiveness. It moves beyond traditional leadership theories, using brain science to provide practical techniques for achieving peak performance, managing habits, and building high-performing teams, based on the authors’ experience with global executives.
The Brain-Friendly Workplace: Why Talented People Quit and How to Get Them to Stay argues that traditional workplaces fail because they ignore neuroscience, causing stress and burnout, and offers a science-based blueprint for retention and performance by creating environments that align with how our brains work.
The book introduces the concept of “neurosignatures” (based on dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, and estrogen) to explain individual differences. It provides practical strategies for leaders to foster well-being and productivity through flexibility, autonomy, and by designing workplaces that support diverse brain types, moving beyond ineffective diversity training.

What Friederike Fabritius Has to Say about Working with Kevin Anderson & Associates
“I am delighted to recommend KAA to authors who have important ideas to share and are looking for a professional partner to help bring those ideas to life.
As a neuroscientist, keynote speaker, and author writing for an international audience, I wanted a book that reflected both the depth of my work and the highest standards of commercial publishing. What impressed me most about KAA was their ability to preserve my voice, my ideas, and my intellectual ownership throughout the entire process while helping shape those ideas into a compelling manuscript.
In working with their highly skilled and senior team, I translated years of research, speaking experience, and intellectual property into a manuscript that was authentically my own. Their world-class editorial expertise ensured that my voice, ideas, and vision remained unequivocally mine throughout the entire process, while benefiting from the support of their exceptional team.
Beyond the writing process itself, KAA brought together editorial, strategic, and publishing expertise that would have been difficult to find in a single individual. Their guidance helped turn a complex book project into a structured, professional process and ultimately contributed to securing a major publishing deal.
For thought leaders, experts, founders, and professionals who have valuable knowledge to share but want a true collaborative partner, I can confidently recommend KAA.”
