Kelly, your book, The Book You Were Born to Write, is a masterclass and a gold mine. Your recommendations are practical, organized, and most of all extremely helpful. Your advice has been gold for me in writing non-fiction self-help. The prompts and templates are worth much more than the cost of the book. I am buying an additional format, and highly recommending this to several others I know personally. There are too many gold nuggets to mention but a few are: write to a specific person, don't try to please too many people, create a mockup cover for focus, force yourself to make 10 what-why-wow titles, create and outline using these specific prompts. Every chapter is packed with truly useful content. Thank you for all your help, and such a great book! P.S. I bought the audible version to listen to and keep inspired on this long journey; it works great for motivation and idea stimulation. Later, I also bought the kindle version because I want to support you and this book and use many of the content prompts step-by-step.
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I had prayed for help with writing my book and here you are. This was so plain and simple, yet so powerful!! Thank you so much!!! 😊
One more note: I was the Primary Caregiver for my grandmother, who lived to be 100 years old, and now I am blessed to be the Primary Caregiver for my mother. She will be 92 years old next month! So she is my priority, however, due to Reid Tracy, Mike Dooley and so many other writers, including YOU, I am slowly getting it towards completion. And I have Balboa Press to thank for eventually helping me to self-publish! Thank you for writing such a lovely book!
I love your positive uplifting intro that makes me excited to write. Many Other tubers make me sad and scared. My twitter handle says “i type once, pls read twice”
Thank you for your kind words. We are so glad that they have been inspiring to write. That is our goal! Please let us know how your writing journey continues.
Thanks for watching. I'm so glad the video was helpful to you! We'd love to help with your book. Feel free to schedule a call at this link when the time is right: knliterary.com/schedule/
Thank you, all of this is really helpful. The first piece of content I had initially, was my story but I think you’re right in chapter 1 being the first thing they need to know. Also, writing like I’m talking to a person is good to know so I can make it more personable. Good points I needed to hear today.
Brilliant simplicity! Thank you. It was a profound eureka moment for me. My single person audience was so obvious, and I actually had my "Maggie" in mind subconsciously all along. My personal courage just escalated from shapeless gloom, to an Indian summer's day.
This has been so helpful and to hear it from a credible source makes it that much more freeing. You've shined a light on a new path forward. MUCHO GRACIAS!
Thanks, Kelly! I just stumbled onto this video when I was searching for information on how to self-publish my personal development book (a ways to go still). Great tips. Just ordered your book through Hay House (it was on sale today for 30% off). I look forward to reading it when it arrives in Winnipeg, Canada, where I live.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm so glad you found the video helpful along your writing journey. I think you'll find a lot more usable information in the book. Please let us know how things continue to go for you in the new year!
My Dear Kelly, I thank God and The Universe for Reid Tracy, due to the fact that because of the newsletters I enjoy getting from him, he had one where he is talking with you, hence my discovery of your book, "The Book You Were Born To Write." I not only purchased your book, but there is one thing that you state in the beginning that sincerely made me cry! You state, "I'm writing this book because I believe in you!" I believe in you, too! Your massive range of experience is truly impressive! I absolutely LOVE that I now know that my book is a transformational book. I have believed in it since I first wrote the entire book by hand, I do see it as a Bestseller, and I simply can't wait to follow your visions. Blessings, Dee Dee
It is SO great to hear from you! We are SO pleased you find the book helpful! And that the encouragement is helping along the way! Having support and inspiration to keep going is SO important on the writing journey and we are grateful to have the opportunity to reach you via this channel and in the book! We cannot wait to hear how the process continues to go for you!
great listen, i find that when i speak i love to have one on one organic chats. this would be the ideal way for me to write it. Do you offer writing coaching? currently looking for one
Hi Kato! I'm so glad that the videos have helped you. Starting a journal is a wonderful idea! Here are some helpful writing prompts to begin with when sitting down to journal: bit.ly/2sFB2he. Also, creating a daily writing schedule and routine is life-changing when it comes to working on your craft. Best of luck on your writing journey!
I'm assuming you are talking about which tense or POV to write, correct? If so, it largely depends on the execution and the subject matter. If it’s a teaching memoir, I would say write in first person because it’s all about how the authors experiences can relate to the reader. However, if it’s not a memoir and it’s all about centering the audience and giving room for the audience to insert their experiences, I would say write in second person (you/we) as it is more accessible and engaging. I hope this helps!
After utilizing your editorial service, I’m now the proud owner of a professionally edited manuscript! However, is traditional publishing is the best route for me? Honestly, due to cost, I’m struggling with contracting one of your ghostwriters to compose the book proposal. What advice could you offer me?
Congratulations on your manuscript! That's a HUGE accomplishment. Self-publishing is a great option. It might help watch this video to learn more about it: ruclips.net/video/QBx9d9JyCao/видео.htmlsi=1OssdtSjIIhQTINy
Thank you sooo much for this!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 do you have an email address or a website, I would love to share my book with you to get some feedbacks? If it is a service you provide to proof read, I’d love to pay for it ❤️❤️❤️ *Edited:I sent think before I saw your website! thank you so much!*

can a self help book be 200 pages? or is it too much? thats because the topic is very long. i actually wrote about 800 pages already. can i make it in 2 books?? please help!!
First of all, congrats on your book progress and also for realizing that 800 pages is too long! Generally speaking, in the publishing business a word count is a better measure of a books length than pages. I have no idea what size your font is, whether you're double-spaced or single-spaced, etc. But, what we recommend for self-help books is a word count between 50 and 70,000 words. Some are longer and many are shorter, but that is the right range to shoot for. Hope this helps!
In the midst of the fog created by the plethora of useless self-help writing tips videos on youtube, it's great to watch a video that has honest advice. Thx!
Amazing tips, thank you so much. I am originally from Brazil but I live in LA. I am an actress and already wrote a book about my experiences as an actor - its called: into the furnace - laura linn if you search on Amazon. And now Im writing about love, self-care, anxiety, still a bit lost to continue so would love to talk to you more and maybe you can be my editor, would be an honor :)
Laura, what exciting stories you have to share! We would love to help with your next project! Your initial call is free and no obligation. We can chat about your project and see where we may be of assistance! knliterary.com/schedule/

If you were writing a self-help book, what would be the most likely narrative to write in?
I'm assuming you are talking about which tense or POV to write, correct? If so, it largely depends on the execution and the subject matter. If it’s a teaching memoir, I would say write in first person because it’s all about how the authors experiences can relate to the reader. However, if it’s not a memoir and it’s all about centering the audience and giving room for the audience to insert their experiences, I would say write in second person (you/we) as it is more accessible and engaging. I hope this helps!
Any topic my own copy of my life biography or learning anything about how things work
