- If you want to be an author in the spiritual/self-help world -- here's some insider knowledge to help you along the way!
In this video I speak about how I went from high school drop out to Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author of 8 books.
If you feel the call to write a book -- there's a lot of stuff you need to know about the industry before going in. In most cases you can't just cold email a publisher, especially if you don't have a dedicated social media following or platform. You need to propose your idea alongside your marketing strategy and sample chapter to a publisher BEFORE you write the book.
I hope this helps you get you on your way! Let me know what you think in the comments.
"You can always self publish"; thank you for making sense of my own common sense. In this current time, if you have to market your own book anyway you might as well sell a .pdf e book and merch. from your own website and shopping cart or from a print on demand site. Thank you for all you do Kyle! I'll let you know if my guardian angels "Harry and Frank" and I ever get our first book done : ) !! Blessed Love! ♥💚💛Thanks for sharing your story; you Rock!
I do admit it's nice to get an advance from the publisher so there is a trade off I realize.
I brought Spirit & Destiny for over 20 years until it was discontinued. I still have an article of you from the magazine and I will treasure it. Thank you Kyle this video was very interesting. You have worked extremely hard to be where you are now ❤❤
Thanks for that comprehensive explanation. ✨ It might scare a lot of people off publishing. Lol. ❤ I self published an oracle deck (the Opal Oracle) three years ago and have never regretted that decision. It's great that there are options.
How do you self-publish an oracle deck? Is it through drop-shipping?
Amazing. I can see that you have created your platform pretty early in a natural & constant way. Great achievement 👏. Stay blessed ❤ & 1001 thanks for your wonderful vlogs. Much love Arsen 🌹🌹🌹
Cannot believe your first book was 13 years ago! Been a fair journey hasn't it! You deserve every single bit of success you have received (and earned!) Thank you for the inspiration and education from angel club days and a letter in the sun through to now....and what is to come ❤
This was very helpful. I have self-published two books and have another ready to go. I am in search of an agent who sees my value and how I can be of service to many. Sending love and positive vibes to your mom. Looking forward to the I Can Do It event. Sorry, you can not make it. Best regards, Katie
Very sweet to care so much & give truthful info as well as going above & beyond with extra help😊❤...you are truly a gem 💎 🎉
Thank you so much for this information, I am in the middle of writing something that is very new to me. As a nurse, I am used to saving lives and not writing a book, but I'm being guided to do this, and walk my true path so I'm actually stepping back from nursing now...yes scary stuff but i trust my guides. I didn't realise about the proposal, which now has got me a little worried, but I'm grateful for the heads up so I can go and research it further.
Thank you
I’ve watched you grow and thrive Kyle…I remember you in those magazines and papers - teen medium ❤ I’ve self published 4 successful books but maybe a publisher will be right for the next one 🎉❤
really love this video and on a similar journey as a recent writing graduate, please can we have more in this series of getting published? Ultimately Hay House would be the goal to work with ❤
I ❤ your oracle Cards Angels & Ancestors they are so spiritual and I do a card pull for my brother every day from them and my husband pulls a card for himself every day and often even after a really good shuffle we pick the same card and that’s happened a few times also my younger daughter she’s almost 14 she shuffled the cards and said she is going to get the card that has a dove and a man that looks like Jesus and she shuffled and shuffled and that card came out., my hubby and I were just gobsmacked. ❤ truly special cards
❤❤love this video!! I so needed this video. I have all these ideas in my head. I put them down in a note book and put on my laptop too.this video is full of great information and inspirational.
Very helpful thank you, you already have inspired me through your angel work to launch my first oracle deck, The Sacred Oracle of Feathers which is selling well, but I see there is so many marketing opportunities I have been missing thank you
Thank you for such a comprehensive description of what is required. Really appreciate it. You are so wonderful to share this. 💗💗
Divine Timing!
I truly appreciate your honesty!🙏❤️
thank you Kyle - very useful information - have taken it all on board - Blessings😇😇
Привіт 👋 Я дуже рада, що знайшла ваш Ютуб канал 🙌 Люблю ваші книги 📚
love your Angel Message Monday emails - this was always so helpful!
Thanks so much for this info ♥️
That was really interesting. I didn't know anything about the journey to being a published author. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey in publishing, This is so full of amazing information, so much food for thought and needless to say inspiring! It was also nice that you spoke of self publishing in the very end, but all the great info goes for that as well.
Thank you for being so candid with all of your sharings. 📚🥸🙏❤️
And Lily Moses wow what an Artist ❤
Wow the timing ! Thank you Kyle. Love from NZ 🙏😇🌏🕊️💙
Thank you, Kyle! ✨🙏🏻❤️
Hi Kyle, thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate it. I have been writing now for some time. I have a platform and a small accumulative following. I know that if I were to get the book I have been stewarding of mine that ties in thematically with so much more published and verified as an entity in the world with the full alchemizing of that that my store house of existential energies namely Source itself as we all have would percolate into actions and synergy meant to distribute the genesis and efficacy of the book through the collective conscious in healthy and benevolent ways. I know it is so. I affirm it here and I thank you as someone telling their story like I relate mine for the self actualization of it and how that process simultaneously creates service in the world for others. Blessings my friend. Take good care! And thanks again! Super inspired and well informed here by your share! Best, Jon Keppel
Wow thank you so much for sharing Kyle. ❤
Amazing Advice! ❤
Thank you for this very informative video. I'm almost 60 but have always felt I had a few books in me (4 planets in Gemini, LOL!) . This is very helpful information.
That was super interesting and really helpful - thanks for sharing Kyle!

Nice video KyleGray,thank you.
You are will all be amazing ❤ @kyle Thank you so much for this video ❤️
If you were going to suggest a book ,for helping someone on writing what would that book?
❤🙏🏻Kyle. I started about 20yrs ago 2 books & have another idea for a third, but How do you get the discipline to write? I just can’t seem to get started again. Have had alot going on in my life, but now I have the time. Im at a loss. 💞✨💎💎✨👐🏻✨💎💎✨
Sad, and my god, it's to complicated 😵💫 Think that many with a good and important message will never be heard 😔
What's even sadder is the many that have done all of the steps and still are not being heard!!! I've seen so many peers and colleagues come and go, because selling books and marketing them is so hard! x
Hey Kyle,
What has changed about your writing and publishing during the AI age?
You need a publicist that's not something achievable for all it's not enough anymore to be an excellent writer 💔
Hah, I was watching a video yesterday and the reader was using one of your decks! Cool Much love and favor! 🙏😇🤗🪶♥️❣️
