I thank you for making a video that was very precise, organized and professional. So many yt videos are filled with fluff and annoying off track subjects that i have to stop watching! Lol 😂❤

You're cute.

Wonderful guidance, Kelly! I'm new to your videos and loving the content. Thank you so much!

You are always so clear and peppy. Thanks for conveying your enthusiasm and info.

I find your writing tips very helpful, thank you.

Can you be anonymous? Until death? I won't care then. 👻 Last friend 😢 but what a journey from 1968 to present. the Polaroid and details for most. Everyone remembers the pivotal moment in time.

Coming across this video from 4yrs back just when I am thinking of starting to write..I want to write about my self, my journey through life but i don’t even know where and how to stary

I've been trying for years to write my Memoir for my family I am 77 had seven children 17 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I did want them to know who I was what happened and who I am now. I don't have time or energy to sit down and type the rest of my life because it was very diverse I hope this new AI can help me finish it and at least get it published enough for my family

Are you for hire? This auto biography includes 2 famous fathers, their son with Fame, and a wife who came into Gene's life after outliving the horror's of the "Ted Bundy" of Colorado, coined by the state of Co. Not only does Gene Sullivan have enough video footage online and written material for a book, he has been in documentaries and tv shows. He could be famous for some things, and It's been written in a Hollywood Script. He is most well known for being Evel Knievel's Body Guard, and the longest touring motorcycle jumper in the world. He is in many Evel Knievel documentaries. He was a motorcycle jumper, heavy weight boxing champion & more. Gene's father Prescott Sullivan is the subject of the movie THE ODD COUPLE and was a famous Sports writer. His real Father Ernie Nevers has fame in 3 Professional Sports. He invented the hook shot; Pitched to Babe Ruth; Saved the NFL & has the oldest 4 NFL records on the books. Ernie was a first inductee to the NFL Hall of Fame. George Clooney made a movie; Leatherheads about him. Gene's GREATEST privilege is HEARING God's voice (those thoughts that came into his head in a 5 second prayer) that saved his life, and the lives of others. He also invented the first skidoo, there is a TV show online about that. He prayed a short prayer b4 takeoff and had a thought come into his head, "undo your strap". Saved his life in front of a large crowd and TV network. That voice that spoke to him, when a member of the Royal family of Tonga got offended, a huge Hell's Angel, & and other life changing, saving stories because he backed up in horrendous situations and prayed a short prayer, destiny was altered. He acted out inspiration instead of using his lethal weapons, his fists. Gene signed a movie deal with a Clint Eastwood movie, signed a professional contract, that Evel Knievel got fired from that could have turned into 20M dollars eventually. Rocky Marciano (famous boxer) was ready to take Gene into the ring with Ali, Foreman, and Frazier, until he died in a plane crash. Growing up with a famous Sportswriter for a father (who he didn't actually see a whole lot) due to his parents divorce. His mom was a WW2 Command Pilot Wasp, and he grew up on an airport, serving pilots, basing up planes, flying from a young age, due to his mother's Crop Dusting business. (that could be a movie in itself). Ernie, his natural father, and Prescott were close friends with Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Joe DiMaggio, John Wayne, the list is long. I will leave links to Jumps, TV shows, stuff about Ernie his father etc. below. At the age of 24 he went to a breakfast with "The littlest Angel" Albi Pearson, and had a life changing experience with the "Voice" from heaven. He also never shied away from telling it like it is to the likes of Jim and Tammy Bakker, famous Networks many churches, where dark and shady stuff was going on. He never intended to be one of them "born again" people, and he is anything but a conventional Christian. Bottom line in the lives he has enchanted all over the world, is Jesus was real, in real time, with real people. And you can see what people actually believe, way past what they say, by just what they do in real time with real people. "As they do it to the least". So growing up in fame w/ money (his Mom in in a hall of fame along with his fathers, Ernie is in 5 I think. But it gave him the liberty to speak before Kings and the rich, with no fear or intimidation, or needing people's acceptance over telling them what "they really need to hear". He has affected many lives for the good, and those playing games with themselves and others, don't hang around him for long. There is way TOO MUCH content in this story, no problem with it not being enough. Would be great to have a writer that knows how to promote a great story that needs to be told. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fcWigdeptM2dnZs.html play list of video's with Gene but there is more. Playlist of Ernie Nevers (check out the one called THE REST OF THE STORY, with Paul Harvey. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7Bhdpp2r5-agpc.html

This video and chapter 6 of Kelly’s book is gold!!

Marketing scam just posted on Amazon only three days ago. They claim they wanted to do an interview with a senior editor on CBS radio. Book had to be approved first through Amazon . So someone had to approve the book or at least proofread the book. Possibility, but then started asking for money to help pay for the interview that would cost him $3,500 I would only have to pay a third of it 1200 and could make the payments in installments of 400. Realize she knew nothing about the book when I asked her questions. And got her to admit that she was marketing supposedly. I said I wanted to speak to the senior editor, since they're the ones that found interest in the book. Also asked for the name of the company that's supposedly of subsidiary of KDP. They called themselves book genre. Ask them to send me an email with more information about their company. And they're telling me they're going to provide a contractor at the same time. That's not how marketing works. Major Broadcasting Company would be paying me since they would be the ones interested in the book at the very least . At the very least it would be free because it would be mutually beneficial for both parties. In this case all three parties.

Fantastic

Great content, great advice & love the metaphor of gardening. Very true

LOVED Soulbriety! Don’t know you guys partnered on this. Amazing👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Memoir

Really informative

I’m going to self published! Thanks for the info!

Love this! So helpful. Thank you.

I want to write my story for therapeutic reasons. Getting everything out for those around me to understand the way I am and look at things

I have been told so many, many times that I should write a book because of my adventures. Completely unique with all my travels. Always with a boat load of humor i have noticed that i van make people laugh everywhere i go but its never scripted. Wouldnt have a vlue how to translate into a coherent story

Thank you! ❤

and met turned to drink or drugs and I am proud of my self

I find it interesting writing a book of geasley and a roller coaster of cancer being to beatfuil I had so much geasley my whole life was a big fight .and I had brest cancer and got through it my self never turned to drugs or drink and I am proud of it.

I just started writing about my life i chronological events how do you create an outline?

Great video! Thanks!

Why don't any of these professional writers or editors on YT talk about actually writing. The process, outlining, drafting, chopping and editing. The why is useful but nobody talks about the how.

As a reader, I appreciate Kelly’s video, “Read Like a Writer.” It encapsulates the whole picture of why reading is important in becoming a better writer. This video is the exact reason why Kelly Notaras wrote - The Book You Were Born to Write. A delightful, bounty of wealth for any writer. Ellen Kelley

Excellent advice, thank you.

Thank you for reminding me to read books in the same genre as the one I am working on. I am making that a priority as I work on my proposal.

I suddenly started receiving these...I've had to block a few. I have a platform, and a blog that has been active since 2014, so at first I wasn't sure. When I saw their "package prices," I knew they weren't legit. Way too cheap. Also, when they offered to ghostwrite it...I am a full time copywriter and I ghost write for an international coach and speaker, so offering to write my book for me was insulting!

Thank you.

Noo I just hate reading w iatrogenic brain damage and untreated language processing recall and expression disabilities.

Kelly this was a great video. Thank you so much!

Dear Ms. Notaras, I like your moxie. Your passion is infectious. Well done. -Robert S. Harker

This material was great, but I am super disappointed in the ads that popped up. They were all about using AI to steal people's writing and make money on Amazon.

Got only 46 out of 100. Very good exercise!

Thank you so much this video! You are excellent at being very clear and straightforward in getting a point across. Would you consider discussing how to find an editor/publishing company/and or the different routes one can take to get their autobiography published?

I never considered this take. Thank you!

I can't wait to get started!!

I would like to rewrite a self-published Memoir that I wrote just for family and friends. It is my struggle to reach a profession in which I find I do not have the academic skills to reach that goal. The goal was to become a professional astronomer. My life was a series of blocks and sidetracks that keep me from working to reach my goals. I worked hard and after starting my family I got serious and built my own observatory and became an advanced amateur astronomer and had my work published with several college research programs and worldwide organizations. I cannot change my life, but I can rewrite my book with a different title and views changing it from its original form. Please is this a worthwhile project?

Uhm...Kelly - I often refer people to your awesome channel but this video? Hmm. it is totally do-able to get a book done in 30 days. I did mine in 5 days. I do anthologies in 7 days (have done it 9x) and a book ghostwritten & published in 4 months. I did that, too. Discouraging people based on less expensive or quick turn arounds may suit your business but it is a disservice to others who do a great job

love your happy

Am writing to say that the video was very helpful and informative. As I am planning to write a craft book of charts and history of interesting flags, I am seeking an agent and learning as much as I can about traditional publishing. The video was useful.

What of giving a few close circle of friends to read and give their feedback?

Superb❤

Very helpful. Thank you.

there has been an uptake of webnovel sites that give contracts to basically anyone and couldn't care less about editing. they're basically IP farms that exploit poor writers into signing off the rights to their books with the promise of paying them if the book makes a profit.

WAit, why would I want a literary agent and publishing house if the royalties are low and i ultimately won't be the recipient of all my earnings?

I have been trying to write my life book for ever I feel overwhelmed every time I start thinking about it - thank you for your video

Until you have taught your story.. you will not know..
