A wrinkle of hope My ripple in time From anger to love Compassion and kind… 🦋

Hi Kelly, I've read and studied many spiritual books on my own and with master teachers. I have integrated the basic spiritual teachings into my life and put them into practice. So, I thought about becoming a spiritual writer to help others improve their lives. But when I thought of the consequences of my choice, I realized that this path is not the right path for me as a writer. Your presentation confirms that tonight. Thank You, Kelly; I love all your videos, learned a lot from them. I appreciate your kindness and generosity in sharing this much needed content. In gratitude

Every word you utter is highly critical for the journey of a spiritual writer. You also gave meaning to the spirituality that it means 'helping or enlightening others' 🙏👍

Thank you 🙏 much prefer to hear authentic advice regardless.

Hi Kelly - this was great - but could you do please do something about ‘workshopping your material’? Ideally with some examples! This idea is new to me, and very intriguing.

Kelly, your third point hit home for me. I have already written my memoir but I am on my spiritual journey, as you say, and helping others along the way. It was encouraging to be reminded that I need to be in it for the long haul.

Yikes! Good thing I watched this video, Kelly. That first tip will help me focus less on references to the other authors who inspired this book and more on the core universal concepts and my insights through experience. It's so tempting at first to focus on and rave about our favorite sources!

Incredible video. I learned a new term, "inspirational memoir", which is what I am writing. These tips are amazing and thank you for the video. I realize how much more work I have to do.

When I saw this video in my email, I was both excited and nervous to see it. I have been working on my book for a year now (I am in the HH Writers Community) so I was nervous I would learn I was doing something wrong, did not fit in the criteria, or what ever else may have been discussed in the video. I was very relieved once I watched it! I have met/am meeting all 3 criteria and this has encouraged me even further to get the book completed and out in the world! Thank you for this video as it was exceptionally helpful.

Been looking for this unexpected video all my life.

Thank you so much ma'am. Love from India 🥰🌺❣️

your videos, experiences and teachings are outstanding,

Thank you Kelly. This fits why I want to write my book. My experiences, my wonderful experience in my spiritual growth. Now to share with others. Keep me in your prayers. Bless you.

Thanks for this wonderful advice and as always, your authentic, inspiring energy Kelly! PS-:) I used KN literary for my book proposal and had an amazing editor. Cheers!

Thanks very much for sharing your seasoned perspective! Very valuable.

This is great, thank you and I love that you started with Integrity, if we have no values then what are we even doing...

Thank you. I started to feel I need to write a book but I am not a writer. Yes, I am a psychic..but except for my customers (people I counsel) who would care about a book I write on the subjet! lol Thank you for your energy!

Thank you Kelly.

Golden wisdom, again

Thanks, as someone who brought out a spiritual book myself, I can totally relate!

This was great!

It's a sign for sure! This video was released on my 24th birthday!

Thank you so much, I am grateful, thats what I wanted to hear:)

Thanks for your video...will get back to you. Sunil....India

You are the Best, Kelly! Thank you for sharing your wisdom and excellent advice!

This has helped me so much, as a beginner when it comes to this genre, this video has really narrowed my sight. I have already begun with teaching others about my discoveries, and I've always been amazed that these experiences are truly mine, and although it may not help in every situation, I've done very little research on my topics, so although they may not be original, they are mine and I won't be doting on any other guru. I've been seriously practicing my beliefs since 2017, so I'm not quite at my 10 years yet, but I'm definitely on my way!

Thank you Kelly. You gave me the confidence I need to write my book. I have the three keys necessary to write my book. I have been living it and growing along my journey and have so many personal stories and stories about others I help and continue to help. My life's calling. This is such a fulfilling journey and opportunity.

Understand what exactly I have to do thank you 🙏 shalom

Really great stuff here Kelly, thanks! Definitely going to adjust the tone and presentation, keeping these points in the forefront. I was thinking of rushing to enter the HHWC contest by the Dec 15th deadline, or the next contest.. but I probably will need a year to build a platform while I write and workshop the material as you suggest.. I was thinking this before I saw this video, and you totally confirmed it.. pranams... I've kind of decided on the structure, and am working on the chapter content and table of contents, but I also find myself wanting to write a new introduction every time I sit down to write, because I see more angles of what I want to include overall... yeah, it's gonna take some time... thanks again!

This is such a great video with valuable info

Thank you! Once again you gave me clarity on my journey when I need it.

OMG Kelly! Thank you so much for posting about this topic. This one hits home!

You have a beautiful soul! Be encouraged and refreshed as you continuously give out. Those who have insight truly shine ✨ abundant blessings to you.

Luminous Kelly! Thank you for your clarity and love.

Thank you. Again.

Transformational Non-fiction. You are a great teacher. This was so helpful. I have been helping and teaching what I have learned on my spiritual journey. Seems taking those experiences and putting together a product offer together with workshops will be a more direct way to make money as I am building a following. I need to get my testimony out immediately for a couple of reasons. Maybe I should do an outline of scenes involving faith in action. Keeping in mind it would be more like memoirs with a novel twist. Chronologically would be easiest, but after a bit might be kind of boring.

What you shared is EXACTLY what I’m sooo happy I heard! Thank you!!!

Divinely perfect timing here of course! Was trying to decide what avenues to take next with my material. Book or workshop. It’s pretty clear to me now! Thank you so much!

Thank you!!

This video came right on time. Definitely lets me know that I'm on the right path. Thank you.

Will the Ask. Ghostwriter segment be rebroadcasted? Also, great advice as tough love is often hard to swallow but so glad you give it to us straight!

This was a great video! Thank you for sharing these 3 wonderful tips. Thank you for clarifying the genre piece... Transformational Non-fiction is absolutely my book!

Hi Ms. Kelly, thank you so much for this. I will shared this one to my co-writers.

Thank you Kelly for filling in those 3 keys in transformational non-fiction! Each key transformed to open the right door! Spirit Blessings m'lady!

Thanks so much for this video. It is just what i needed to hear.

Well you have definitely helped me along the way 🙏🏽💜

Thank you! So useful. It helps put my achiever mindset on to a more "spiritual" long-term journey. Such a great insight and piece of advice! It's actually funny because of the irony of it. Perhaps this book-writing process is at the beginning indeed as much to teach me to be patient and brave (workshopping the material/ reading your book thoroughly) instead of the initial goal of wanting to "win" the Hay House competition this year :) Your book is fantastic too. Thank you for helping so many of us on our journey as we want to make the world a brighter place!

This video has come into my life at an amazingly appropriate time. Hmmmm. Thx.

I agree 100%. This is me!

Kelly thank you for these amazing videos. Every time I stress over getting my book finished I hear your voice saying ''the tortoise won the race''. You are my Jiminy Cricket in this writing journey. Immense gratitude for sharing all this wealth of knowledge and experience.

With 30 years of dedicated personal spiritual practice, helping people I encounter daily through wisdom gained on the path, providing intuitive and clarcognizant guidance to so many, taking acquaintance into my home with 40 year drug addictions and having a partner with alcohol dependencies and coming to help both of them through spirituality towards recovery, and personally experiencing the worst possible outcomes and using my method to rise out of it, I am perhaps now being guided to go out there and start my coaching and teaching practice formally for another 10 years to launch my book instead of doing it concurrently, just when I thought It was finally time to step forward? Oh, my, I am definitely quite a bit in dismay. :(

Thank you for sharing. Great motivation to just keep going!!! 💕💕☪️ Sometimes I fear blogging and making videos about content because I want to “save it” for my book. Save no more, I’ll let it flow! ☺️

Thanks Kelly, that was a great video and very helpful tips. Actually it took some of the pressure off because I felt like I needed to get my book completed this year but I didn’t feel like I had all the pieces together yet. So, yes, this was very helpful and I’m sure that when I do actually finish it, it will be something people will want to read. I’m part of the HH Writers Community and enjoy your teaching very much - also have your book and am using it as a guide to write my memoir. Best, Anne-Marie

Thank You! I love the "Transformational - non fiction category. So perfect! Thank you also for the link to Lucinda Halpern that was in your email. Know you are motivating and clearing the path for many!

Kelly- Thank you again for your knowledge, clarity, and honesty. I appreciate all the information you share in the HHWC and here. I find value in you being truthful about the process in order to produce the best product. This video helped me since this is exactly the type of book I am writing!! Much joy to you, Dawn

Hi Kelly, found this video very helpful. Do you have similar videos where you talk about writing spiritual fiction, please? Thanks! x

Really informative

Very interesting and timely ! I agree-walking the walk and talking the talk is so vital. I like the term transformational non fiction. May I use it in my book proposal?

Hi Kelly, until today I have not really heard the term, spiritual writer. I am a practicing Christian who has been writing devotions on my Facebook page for many years. I have been told by multiple friends that my life story is an incredible inspiration that would bring hope to a wide audience. They have also mentioned that I have a gift when it comes to writing and have repeatedly suggested I write a book or books. I have never written anything as big as a book before however, the desire to do so has been on my heart for a very long time. Recently after almost dying during my cancer journey and seeing the hand of God through out the whole experience it has light a fire within me to share the miracles and healing of God. I have researched a great deal about writing and feel a memoir of my cancer journey would be a good option. I am interested to know if this would be my best route to introduce myself as a writer. Would love your thoughts H.W.

Hello Kelly, I just started reading your book, "The Book You Were Born to Write." I'm writing my first book (a spiritual book). I have a question about the first key "The Wisdom Must be Yours." I understand books must be written about my perspective on the topic, however is it okay to read other authors on the subject for quotes or other ideas you may not have thought of. Not sharing their work but gaining more insight on the subject. I hope this makes sense what I'm asking. Also, on the second key, "Workshop Your Book," how does that work? Write a chapter then teach it or blog about it. Or write the book and teach it before releasing it. What does that practically look like. Thank you for these very helpful keys. I enjoy your insight, wisdom and knowledge. I look forward to future videos. Blessings, Ivery

Thank you so much for this video, just what I thought and didn´t want to hear!😂 Going slow is the very core of the spiritual path that has changed my life✌. I have a question: ¿does blog posting count as a way of testing my ideas before thinking of writing a book? Blessings💜

Hi! Thank you for all your wisdom in my book journey! I am in the process of writing a book for moms. What tips do you have about getting involved in this area? I am planning to have a website/blog/podcast and speak occasionally at women’s events but what are some other tips that I can do to help this process? Thanks so much as always and blessings!

Im a spiritual teacher and mentor. I have been on my journey for the last 15 years. i'm more of a vocal / talking person than writing. but now I feel compelled to write. my techniques and tools have helped many people . It is difficult for me to put what I speak into writing. Any suggestions from you would be great. thanks.

I have begun to write a memoir on my mother's impact on my faith journey by her example. I went from an innocent child who watched her at prayer to an aww come on, mom, not that story again! (As she shared experiences in her own life) to someone who went through a strong spiritual faith transformation. I am in a mentoring group and feel lost though! I have no idea how to mix the two. I especially don't know how to weave my faith journey through it. I wrote one chapter and had to cut out parts that make it very choppy and I don't know how to fill the story in to add depth. I'm sort of losing interest In continuing now.

Any tips on how to turn all these thoughts into words ? 😩🤝

Thank you so much maam to your huge supports and guidance.maam kindly speak a little bit slow if possible.

Where are some good resources to start seeing the specific topics that would resonate with our ideal readers

Hello, I have a completed manuscript and it is a fictional spiritual story that does have a character in the story referencing a spiritual book for another character to read. Are you referring to only nonfiction books?

What about channelled writing

how about fiction writting, can you say something about spiritual fiction, i am writting spirityal fiction stories, i think you have much experience can you advice me through spirtual fiction

I am not interested in becoming a teacher. Only in getting my testimony out there to give encouragement. Something I searched for all those years ago.

Wanted to share something weird. I just found out 2 weeks ago I can spiritually write. Which is very cool. But here is the weird part. I keep getting nazi symbols. No clue what to think honestly, all I know is that I get trapped in this moment where I can't stop writing so I've been trying to figure out how to fight it. Thanks for some for advice!

Even Wayne Dyer started out self-published, selling books out of his car trunk.

The problem is being able to have a place to start teaching other than on social media on a fixed income.
