Have you ever wanted to write a book? To be a published author? Do you have an area of expertise you'd like to share? Perhaps a story about a special pet, a parent, your ancestry? Maybe you have a special love story or have had a magical experience? Poetry, Fiction or Non-Fiction, the sky is the limit and the choices are endless.

But how to begin? How do you take what you've written and turn it into a book? Best-Selling Author and Indie Publishing Coach, Kate McGahan, wants to give you everything you need to succeed. She wants to teach you everything she has learned the hard way so that it's easy for you.

This little book guides you step by step. It is written simply, personally, and it gives you a realistic idea of what to expect from the self-publishing process on Amazon KDP. It works for her and it can work for you too! Isn't it time to follow your dream?

Kate is a self-publishing coach assisting new writers in publishing their very first book. While this book is required reading for her clients, she decided to publish it publicly in the event other new indie authors need a simple, concise program to follow. Isn't it time to make your dream come true?

"Kate edited and facilitated my book that has now been published. Without Kate, the novel would still be collecting dust! I have felt fortunate to have gotten to know her. “A Story Worth Writing” digs into the whole of the self-publishing universe with proven strategies. It is a time saver in identifying what comes next in “the process”. The book identifies the skills and tools to utilize besides the mighty pen! Thank you, Kate!"
~Ivan Drechsler, "The Big Apple: A Thoroughbred Owner's Dream"

"As the youngest of a family of writers, it was always on my bucket list to pen something of my own. Where do you start without the process being daunting? Along comes Kate McGahan. With her incredible collection of self-published books and her ability to communicate and navigate through the complexities of Amazon. And it doesn’t require a PhD to instantly “get” the content so you can have the confidence to write and not worry about what you are going to do with it once you have written your content. This book is useful for penning your life story or graduating to the next level of authorship. Thank you, Kate, for providing the roadmap." ~ April Earickson

Author Kate McGahan has been a hospice counselor and clinical social worker for over 30 years. She began writing the "Jack McAfghan" Series in 2015 after the loss of her mixed-breed Afghan Hound, Jack. She was in the process of writing two unrelated novels when the loss of Jack -- and then her father the following day -- sent her reeling. Despite her professional experience in death and dying, she went through the dark nights of the soul as she attempted to cope with pet loss and complicated grief. Although Jack was sending her signs from Heaven all along, he finally reached her in the only way he knew how. Through her intuitive writing. The result would change the course of her life and ultimately those of her readers.

Whether you are struggling with pet loss or the death of a loved one, Kate's books will apply to your personal journey and bring you out the other side of grief. Her writing is the culmination of rich personal experience combined with clinical expertise. A lifetime of studying spirituality and family dynamics makes each of her books comforting, entertaining and thought-provoking. Intensely spiritual, Kate sprinkles subtle seeds of faith to strengthen the reader's spiritual path.

Kate draws forth in the reader a new understanding of human dynamics as well as reminders of the power of faith. When you learn something new you grow; when you grow you heal. It's all By Design. She writes each and every book to heal something in the reader. You can't read one of her books without healing something in your heart and soul. While you think she is just entertaining you, she is also planting seeds of wisdom and teaching you new ways of looking at yourself and those you love. These books will change the way you think. You will never look at life or death or love the same way again.

Kate is a Licensed Master of Social Work with a Bachelor’s Degree from Nazareth College of Rochester and a Master’s Degree from Syracuse University. She currently resides with her two dogs, Immy and Joey, in Tubac, Arizona. There are more books and genres forthcoming!

Been wanting to get back to my writing, yet feeling a bit discouraged.

This book is concise and written for the layman.

I feel like picking up my writing and start again.

Honest, no-nonsense book that gives you everything you need to know!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2022

If you’re anything like me, you’ve thought to yourself “I should write a book”. Maybe it’s crazy stories that happened in your 20s, or maybe it’s a wonderful tribute to a loved one. If you’re ever thought about writing a book but you have no idea where to start, THIS BOOK is where you should start!

The author covers many important topics including but not limited to: the process of publishing, self-publishing, publishing using Amazon/Kindle (did you know Amazon will print on demand? I didn’t.), editing, formatting, what needs to be included in the front and back of your book and what’s optional, how to write your bio, how to design your cover, the ISBN (if you don’t know what that is, I didn’t either), copyright info and how to market and sell your book. I really enjoyed the tips on how to market your book and navigate Amazon so that your target audience will find you. I had several “Ah-ha!” moments, and learned things that I never would’ve known otherwise.

I’m a “no fluff” kind of person so I appreciate the author’s honesty, and “to the point” writing. She shares hard numbers, she will tell you how much you will have to spend (spoiler alert, it’s not that much!) and how much you can expect to make. She shares her personal experiences and situations that she would’ve changed knowing what she knows now. I appreciate her honesty and the fact that she shares these stories so that we can all learn from them.

I would definitely suggest this book to anyone thinking about writing their own. Kate is a best selling author and has went through the process the hard way. She is now sharing her experiences and knowledge with aspiring authors to make the process easier for us, and you have to appreciate that!

I was fortunate to meet Kate when she moved to Tubac, Arizona. She was an author then and I was impressed with her writing discipline. A person, who besides walking her dogs, found the time to always be creative and yet accessible to myself and others. I believe this empathy that she has at her core has brought this best-selling author to a point where she can effectively share her skills and knowledge of the self-publishing community. While maintaining her writing output she still finds the time to encourage, guide, edit and aid one in their own author journey. Kate edited and facilitated my book that has now been published. Without Kate the novel would still be collecting dust! I have felt fortunate to have gotten to know her. “A Story Worth Writing” digs into the whole of the self-publishing universe with proven strategies. It is a time saver in identifying what comes next in “the process”. The book identifies the skills and tools to utilize besides the mighty pen! Thank you, Kate!

As the youngest of a family of writers, it was always on my bucket list to pen something of my own.

It is so refreshing to read Kate's books because she makes you feel like she's talking to only you. Kate is my friend and I can tell you, reading her words is exactly like having a discussion with her. Straight facts you can trust, not generalizations.
