In this episode, Fab has the chance to chat with ever so awesome Kelly Notaras about one of her favourite topics - books. 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? In this podcast, we talk through some of the lessons from over 20 years of experience in the field.

Writing a nonfiction book and having a signature talk go hand in hand: both are a reflection of who you are, what you do, and why you do it. Both your book and your signature talk should have a “hook,” which is your particular angle that answers “why me” and “why now” for your topic. Some of our clients come to us after they’ve written a book to work on their signature talk, so we help them pull out the most important stories and key points. Other clients create their signature talk first, which becomes the foundation and outline for their book. My guest in this episode is Kelly Notaras, founder of kn literary arts, which works with authors who are writing nonfiction books.   Kelly and I talk about: Why stories about yourself are not self-indulgent and how detailed to get in your stories 3 types of nonfiction books you can write: prescriptive nonfiction, narrative memoir, and teaching memoir Examples of each type and how to choose the best one for you, especially as a speaker 5 elements you can use to find the “hook” for your book What traditional publishers look for in authors How her book coaches work with authors This episode is part of our podcast series on Storytelling.   About My Guest: Kelly Notaras is an author, speaker, book editor and entrepreneur. She started her book editing career right out of college by moving to New York, where she worked in the editorial divisions at Avon Books, HarperCollins, Penguin USA and Hyperion Books.

kn literary arts is the creation of 15-year publishing veteran Kelly Notaras.  After starting her career in New York City—working as an editor for HarperCollins, Penguin USA and Hyperion Books—she relocated several years ago to Boulder, Colorado where she served for four years as the VP and Editorial Director at Sounds True, a multi-media spirituality publishing company. There she oversaw an impressive list of spiritual luminaries including Adyashanti, Reggie Ray, Krishna Das, Sharon Salzberg, Pema Chodron, Caroline Myss, and many more.   In 2010 she left Sounds True to ghostwrite her first book, but her love of editing was never far away. Since starting kn literary arts, she has been honored to edit a wide variety of personal growth books including the forthcoming Intimate Conversations with the Divine by Caroline Myss and New York Times Bestsellers The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner and Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena “Mama Gena” Thomashauer. kn literary's amazing client list also includes Nancy Levin, Michael Morelli, Agapi Stassinopoulos, Miranda Macpherson, Bruce Tift, Drew Canole, Danette May and many more.    Kelly is the author of The Book You Were Born to Write: Everything You Need to (Finally) Get Your Wisdom Onto the Page and Into the World, published by Hay House. She lives in Colorado. Visit her at www.knliterary.com.   Kelly shared so much wisdom about how and why you must write the book that is in your heart.  If you're struggling with the question "Who am I to write a book?" (like many of us authors), look at it from a different angle. Focus on being of service and the 'how to' that will help others. Life wants you to share your experience, not hold on to it! 2.The reader is everything! You'll want to pick a specific person whom you're writing to that could use your wisdom. You don't have to go much farther along the path...all you need are a few steps ahead to be able to shine the light and help your reader. Get out of your ego, and into your intuition. If you're an author and not a writer, Kelly's company is filled with amazing writers who can help you. A great way to write your book is take a course you're already teaching and break it up into chapters and sections. Mama Gena did this with her bestselling book, Pussy: A Reclamation.    Connect with Kelly Notaras Website: https://knliterary.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/knliterary/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/knliteraryarts/ LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/kn-literary-arts Twitter: https://twitter.com/knliterary   Enjoying the show?

Do you ever wonder where authors of personal development books go for help themselves?Kelly Notaras is one of these go-to women, and she says,“Practice making practice a habit. Make a practice of your spiritual connection to something larger than you. This to me needs to be a main priority.”As author, book editor and founder of KN literary arts, an editorial book studio specializing in self-help, personal growth, and spirituality, Kelly is a really tough editor personally invested in every sentence and a master at making the ordinary story into an extraordinary book!With the elegance and mastery of someone who can lead you into curating more than just your next book, Kelly speaks to those of us who have a yearning to be in direct connection with life in a way that goes beyond our everyday routine. She shares with us the passion of her own experience reminding us how important this yearning is.“If I had had more time, I would've written you a shorter letter.” ~ Blaise PascalIn this episode you’ll hear about: “Nine Out of Ten Rule”Check with yourself and make sure the things you’re doing are things that make your eyes light up. More often than not, those are the things that bring you joy and make your life feel the way you want it to feel.Push yourself into the discomfort that will ultimately liberate you from what would have been something that was not the way you wanted to spend your time.Plus:· Be the editor of your life: Make your life flow more in the way that you like to live your life. Your behaviors are in reflection of your values. Be willing to lean into the discomfort of learning something new.· Be willing to bend your rules: It's really important to be flexible in all of your habits. Notice the place where you might be holding on really tightly to a habit that actually ends up doing the opposite of what you'd hoped for or not getting the outcome you desired.· Be in alignment in service of what you love: You have a compass available at all times in your own body where you can test out your choices with your physical sensations. Practice revising and reviewing again and again.And:“The princess and the pea”There's a little pea within us; it's rolling around deep inside and we don't know what it is. It's everyone's personal responsibility to those in our lives and to ourselves to go looking for what that is. Because if we don't, and we don't do it as a daily upkeep or even an hourly upkeep, sometimes we end up mistreating people or projecting whatever discomfort we’re trying to avoid.Until next time!

Most people have a dream of someday writing a book. But for many of those people, that day never comes. Why? Quite simply because life gets in the way. Either they never make the time to write, or when they do sit down to write they are so far out of practice that the writing is difficult and they quit. Similarly, most people don’t actually know where and how to start. They may write down stories or ideas, but because there is no cohesive structure, they are never able to sort through the stories and put them in any kind of meaningful order. What about you? Is there a book that you were born to write? Seasoned book editor, founder of kn Literary Arts and author of The Book You Were Born to Write, Kelly Notaras dishes with Lora on the “How To” of writing your transformational nonfiction book. In the workshop you will learn the how and why to establish the daily habit of writing, how to be productive for hours, how to hone your “hook”—a book’s north star—so it’s both saleable and magnetic, navigating a variety of publishing options, and whether to start with a proposal or a full-length manuscript. Kelly Notaras started her book editing career right out of college by moving to New York, where she worked in the editorial divisions at Avon Books, HarperCollins, Penguin USA and Hyperion Books.

Kelly Notaras is an author and editor who spent her early adult life learning the book publishing industry and perfecting her craft before going out on her own and starting KN Literary Arts. She joins me for this episode of The Wealthy Wellthy Podcast. Everyone has a message that they want to tell the world, but very few people know how to get started. Do I build up a following first? How do I become known as a thought leader? What is the best hook for my book? Is it better to self-publish or send proposals to traditional publishers to hopefully get a book deal? Kelly answers these questions and many more during our time together, and she will certainly inspire listeners to put some more thought into their own perspective books that have always been on the back burner. Kelly pulls back the curtain on the book publishing industry and busts a lot of the myths that have persisted and given people the wrong ideas about what writing a book is really like. Having just published a book of her own (“The Book You Were Born to Write”) along with her extensive experience helping others along their journeys, Kelly is in a prime spot to coach, encourage, and guide those who are considering writing their own book. In terms of financial benefits, Kelly discusses the additional revenue streams that can be opened up by writing a book, especially when your book builds brand recognition and credibility that leads people to want to purchase more of your products or services. Entrepreneurs are at an advantage when it comes to the marketing aspects of publishing a book as well, because these marketing activities make up a majority of their efforts, even more than the actual writing of the book. I personally found my conversation with Kelly very informative and inspiring, and I hope you will too. For show notes and more info visit: http://wealthywellthy.life/140
