Publisher's summary

A guide to writing a full-length transformational nonfiction book, from an editor with two decades' experience working with authors from all walks of life.

"I know I have a book in me."

"I've always wanted to be an author."

"People always ask me when I'm going to write my book."

"I have a story to tell, but I never seem to make time to write."

These are just a sampling of the messages Kelly Notaras hears every day from would-be authors around the globe. Life coaches with new methodologies for living on purpose . . . energy workers who've discovered new ways to prevent disease and teach self-healing . . . everyday heroes and heroines who have made it through difficult circumstances and want to inspire others to do the same. In today's tumultuous world, we need these voices in the marketplace. Moreover, publishing a book has never been so simple, accessible, or affordable as it is today. So why are so many thought leaders, healers, and change-agents stuck at the starting line?

This book will light the way - offering a simple, step-by-step path that takes authors from concept to finished book. In it, publishing veteran Kelly Notaras demystifies the publishing process and gives writers the tools, insider information, and inspiration to start strong, keep going, and get across the finish line as quickly as possible.

This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Everyone has at least one book in them

I was told long ago everyone has a book in themselves. This book explains what you have to do to write it. Get started now.

Both Funny and Informative

Detailed information about the publishing industry can dense and intimidating. So why, while listening to this book, do I look up from my coloring page for a bellylaugh and notice that two hours have gone by? Kelly Notaras makes navigating the publishing industry go down like a glass of wine at the end of the day. I love listening to her chat about the book world. Her book has filled me with ambition and invaluable knowledge.

Great book

After listening to this book I would definitely recommend it. Notaras does a great job narrating it. The book is encouraging, and offers a clear process for getting your book made from A to Z. I discovered Notaras through a book challenge event that Hay House organized. Her clarity and insight into the steps to get your book made, published and sold can only come from years and years of experience. Her confidence in the topic and how enthusiasm are present throughout and it made it a very enjoyable experience. I will refer back to this book often. If you are looking to make a quick buck making books written by ghost writers and selling them to make passive income that this won’t be the book for you. However, if you are looking to write a book you are proud of, truly the book you aware meant to write and to share you knowledge and message with the world than this is the perfect book.
