The key message for me was the value of bringing a talented, professional ghostwriter to couple with you so you can take your project from the beginning to the end. That's the goal, right? To get your message out of your heart and its the world? Great job busting myths, Kelly. We appreciate your wisdom, talent and energy!

You had great memories, i only can remember negatives members. I went through hell growing up. But i learned a lot in my latter years. How can i write my story?

not a requirement, it's helpful to get a better grasp on the genre itself but harmful to those who are susceptible to taking too much inspiration from others and ending up with a knockoff story of a popular book

I beta read as a freelancer. I have told sooo many authors to go to the library and read books in that genre. There are so many benefits to it.

I'm dying of brain cancer and I came up with the idea that I want to tell my life story in hopes of maybe inspiring somebody or helping somebody else through trauma in life. I have this is trauma from my 13th and 14th year that has haunted me all my life absolutely ruined my life actually I never married never had children destroy all my relationships with women. I confess to God until at least one other human being and tried to move forward in my life and put it behind me, but of course it's always there. I'll be 60 on my next birthday what if I was to add this trauma to my memoirs all My Good Life works and help and friendships that I've had could possibly be totally damaged and on today's judgmental attitudes of appropriate behavior and inappropriate behavior dangerous or even worse. How do I write a memoir and keep such a huge secret that could reunion my family and my life memory that I'm trying to preserve. What would you do?

Perfect. Just what I needed.

Beautiful, inspiring and thought-provoking interview! Thank you both for taking the time to do this.

So, write a book to gain a following of people that want to hire you for your “other” services… huh!? Hire an editor that’s in your budget… huh!? My brain isn’t accustomed to thinking about increasing my clientele for my 3d printed horseshoe business by writing a book. So, if I have no money to afford an editor, I guess I’ll just continue editing the book on my own. Also, if I’m spending a small amount of money on an editor because its what I set aside for it, doesn’t that mean I’m getting lower quality editing, so I should just stick to doing it on my own?

Needed to hear this again! Thank you for the nudge in this important direction, Kelly.

How much does a good ghostwriter cost?

Evening Kelly, I have a very rare illness and I feel people because of bias, neglect, need to learn about, chronic pain, Just what a day is like, It’s hard , Help Also My life started as a child in a abusive family, in a small minded town, Can his flow,

Super inspiring and helpful for an author still searching for a literary agent after 36 email attempts. Nice to know that self-publishing can lead to a publishing deal.

This was a terrific interview, but it also reminded me of one big truth about getting your book published with a traditional publisher: It helps to know somebody (that's how Emery found the agent who was critical to her reaching out to the more appropriate publishers). When you don't know somebody and are reaching out to hundreds of agents, most of whom never even acknowledge receipt of your work, well, that's a very lonely and frustrating and discouraging (not to mention exhausting) process to have to go through. Thank you, though, for a most informative and lively discussion.

Amazing interview. Exellent content. I've never heard anyone but Kelly talk about this potential path to publishing. I didn't know that it existed. One tiny critique: the edits were a bit jarring for me. I don't find it necessary to cut out the awkward parts and moments of silence. It feels better to leave it all in there, so that it's a bit more authentic. People are accustomed to long podcasts with little to no edits these days. I could have listened to this for an hour.

Thank you, Kelly and Emory! I needed to hear this. And I’m anxious to get my hands on a copy of this book. Sounds beautiful. Congratulations!!

Hi My memoir is going slow, because I have so many things that need attention, but to do that I’d be writing forever , I have to learn to cut it down, or do more stories, about my / our life, I know it will be a memoir thanks Kelly, x 🌹

The information you provided in this video is priceless!! I work in the film industry and you knocked it out of the park with this one. I've an outline, character building, now I can start on my plot. This video pushed me out of my two week rut!! Absolutely Amazing!!

Yeah, girl I like what you’re saying and it’s very encouraging. I found you because out of the blue at 65 I finally realized I have an entire story to tell and am ready to tell it. I began to research. It would be wonderful if from the jump it became a NY Best seller, but it’s also therapeutic and a goal. Some people will find it, and I do believe that. However, if I never try to learn to write it and do it, no one will ever find it. Thanks for your optimistic spirit 👍🏽

What I liked was her need for authenticity to herself before coping with "marketability" and other people's judgments. That resonates with me as well. Was it Emerson that said "To thine own self be true?"

How do we get beyond the survey on the KN page to GET to a coach?!

Congratulations Emory for following your own truth in your writing and publishing of this lovely book of poetry!

I was super excited for this until I saw her 100k+ followers on IG. I feel caught in the chicken/egg battle of trying to grow an audience while also spending time writing my novel. Any tips for balancing the two would be much appreciated 🙏

This is wonderful!! I identify so much with this author!

Kelly, you presented yet another terrific way to get a novel out into the world. Thank you. Congratulations Emory! I'll follow your new release in November. I lost my older sister when I was 13 and like you, found my journals to be very helpful in not just making sense of my emotions, but setting them free.

Kelly, I appreciate your sharing this information! You are a superb mentor and I look forward to engaging your team in the near future. Take care

How do I peek interest, from a abusive childhood, To terminal illness marriage , to family, life, and loneliness, Thx

Thank you so much, You just saved me doing a real hate book against trauma, Etc, And I can see your thinking can work, because My book has festered since a child , Thank you, again, 🌹

Thank you so much for this exercise. This is really helpful to me as I was actually just getting anxious about the order of my book. I appreciate you ma’am ❤️

Okay, I've gained some insights and had to watch this video a couple of times, but I didn't actually know what to do next. Okay, I have an idea of someone I want to connect with. I should binge-read their books since I don’t have a podcast or blog. If I did have a significant online presence, I wouldn’t need this video. After reading, I should write a review for the ones I like. Then I guess I need to inform them, 'Hey, I wrote a review for you.' What should I do next? Should I ask them questions that I genuinely have at this point and try to start a conversation? We don’t have any networking connections, and honestly, I live in a place where literary networking events aren’t common. And then I’m supposed to write, somehow, a subtle ‘if you’d like’ ask? Like something along the lines of, ‘I really liked [specific aspect]. I’d love to have you as a beta reader, as your feedback is very interesting to me. Do you do that?’ Or something similar? Then they will know who I am and what I write, and from there, the possibilities are open (?) Sorry, can you break it down into simple steps for human mortals who have never networked before? They feel inspired but need a step-by-step guide that doesn’t require traveling to networking events in different countries.

I like that you share stuff based on your experience and don’t just tell people what to do. Anyway, a couple of notes and questions: 1. 'Words of praise' sounded a bit too much to me. I recently wanted to publish a digital product and asked for feedback. Then I edited it for brevity and asked the beta reader if I could show it as a review. He agreed. What do you think about that approach? Just asking them how the book was, summarizing it in their own words, and not making the big ask of creating their own endorsement? 2. About the help part - okay, I see why an established editor like you could do some favors. I just wish some established author in my industry had something they could ask from me. 3. Established authors in the industry. Which industry? Amazon lets you put your book into 3 categories. 4. I don’t have any idea what you mean by 'canon.' Do you mean that our books are similar? Honestly, I don’t think I’d be persuaded by that if I were in their shoes. The only thing that might move me to endorse a stranger, being brutally honest, is if this stranger had helped me in the past or has a following.

I like this viedio very much . Thank u so much 🦋 From india , Kerala 🇮🇳

Thank you Kelly, this has been very helpful as my title and hook keeps changing. latest title, "Walking Into the Light Without sight; A New Vision for What Is Possible". with the hook being...A woman shares her experiences in opening the door to the spirit world, and how we all have the ability to make this connection.

Just wrote my first draft this summer, but I have been researching the topic, the book of Revelation, for 3-4 years from hearing other people's takes followed by 2 years on my own, with almost nothing but the Word and the Holy Spirit. I never thought I would understand any book of the Bible well enough to write a book on it, let alone Revelation, but God has been so good to me! Praise the Lord! And yes, once I sat down to write it over the summer, since I teach through the year, the book came so easily. I do feel like some parts are much stronger than others, and so during the editing phase I want to strengthen the weaker parts and clarify the difficult content as much as possible. Hopefully, others will agree that this is the book I was born to write. My biblical knowledge and understanding has certainly exploded many times over.

If anyone is looking for a publisher, here is one I do not recommend: Austin Macauley. They recently made sure not to report a few book sales to me, as best I can tell. Then, using some strange timing, they refused to keep publishing one of the books I wrote, and I made it available another way. I am still in shock.😢

i have been a drug addict for over 15 20 years, i had 3 kids and had the best baby daddy if you will. my youngest followed my steps and i lost her at the age of 20, i wanted to die, instead i went to a rehab and got clean, i now have two and a half years clean and sober. i also have a great relationship with my oldest daughter and my son. i wish my daughter who passed could of been here to be able to see that i was a good mom.....

Magnificent! Thank you

Thank you so much for your kind words on the cover- I had a blast working with Rebecca and love to see TTDS getting the love it deserves!

This has been helpful...I am almost finishing my book using this strategy🥰

Can you repeat what you said please.?

Could transformational be a combination of the two? Or would it simply fall under autobiography? Thanks 🙂

Always the mom and dad at fault… too many memoirists don’t turn the spotlight where it belongs, on themselves.

Thank you. i love how fast you speak

I really want to write my story with overcoming addiction and creating a life I love 😊❤

I will. ty

I did this exercise just now. It took me an hour. It was hard to think of what to write, but I did it. I know it's stream of consciousness, but I still got hung up on thinking of what to write. I'm glad I did it, though. It sure stirred up some memories, both good and bad, and sure enough, there was some stuff I was hesitant to write. Thank you for this video! I definitely want to write something. Writing a memoir is something I want to do, among other things. It's hard to write, but I think I am enjoying the struggle of turning the gears in my brain to get thoughts out and onto paper. And I do like writing with pen and paper. Exercises like this are great!

I made 100 things, that was all bed=fore I was 18. Please, I need your help if you are able. I must get my stories out. I am asking a lot. I am overwhelmed with trauma stories I need to write of. I will follow your advice and do the work, I need guidance and direction. I have so many questions I need answered and I understand your position. If you can, even a little, please will you send me an email to Lara. P. Wallace with an address I can send questions needed answers to continue my progress. I understand if you don't but I am desperate. I am in therapy as we speak and have been for years, and I respect your position. I just need writing direction on things like, should I write a series of short stories , a novel or consider a sitcom or movie script? Thank you for your content and it has been useful. I hope I'm not sounding crazy, I just keep running into walls trying to write this. Anything you can advise me on getting my story out will be greatly appreciated. Ty again for content and time.

I am going to just write what I know. My experiences I guess? Ty so much for your video. I really need guidance.
