THE AUTHOR’S JOURNEY

A Page a Day =

Your Manuscript 1st Draft by Program’s End!

The story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it and copy it." - Jules Renard, author of Diary, February 1895

 

Do you have a book in you but you’re afraid you lack the:

Discipline to write on a consistent basis?

Confidence to believe your story is worth telling?

Support to write during bouts of uncertainty?

Belief that once it is written anyone will buy it?

As an author, I totally relate to ALL OF THE ABOVE (and more)—yet, somehow, I cracked the code, going from having ZERO BELIEF IN MYSELF to having written 8 best-selling books, two journals and four oracle decks.

IN SPITE of having to wrestle with my inner critic, saboteur and scaredy-cat (a.k.a. The Not-So Holy Trinity that likes to gang up on me all at once) I’ve figured out the formula for getting books written …and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Here’s a secret: I didn’t do it all by myself.

I’ve had great mentors along the way.

And in this course, I will introduce them to YOU!

Why I’m Teaching this Class…

I often find myself listening to jaw-dropping stories by aspiring authors whose tales I KNOW could translate into book deals and change lives. However, most of these people are in a quandary as to how to get their book written. They say:

“I can’t find the time.

“I’m plagued with self-doubt.”

“I’ve got paralysis due to over-analysis.

“It’s so lonely in my writing cave! How can I get my needs met for camaraderie while taking time in solitude to write my book?”

Can You Relate?

I can…or I used to.

That is why I’ve created this unique workshop.

How is This Workshop Different?

Most workshops that claim to help you write your book are often selling you a pep rally, a product for a service where you’re given a few tools and send you on your way, alone, with heady motivation and lofty visions of your success. That usually works great for about a day or two or maybe a week until the motivation wears off and your vision becomes cloudy again and your back to square one.

At this point, you’re frustrated because not only have you paid boatloads of cash and spent precious time you can’t get back…but you are only an inch further along the path than you were when you started…with miles and miles left to go. AARG!!!

Has this happened to you?

I know.

I’ve been there, done that, bought the not-so cute T-shirt that I now use as a cleaning rag.

Enough!

I have 2.5 words for you:

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:

How it Works:

When: Our next program starts Tuesday, September 6th, 2022 - May 9th, 2023, 4-6 pm PST (7-9 pm EST) we meet as a group, once a week on Tuesdays, for two hours over the course of nine months.

Your Commitment: You agree to:

1.) Write (and/or edit) one page a day. This does not have to be a finished work of art—not at all—it can be a scribble, a doodle of a poodle eating a strudel…it can be blah blah blah…just write a page a day toward your project (we’ll talk more about that in class).

1 page a day = YOUR COMPLETED FIRST DRAFT OF YOUR MANUSCRIPT!

2.) Show up to our weekly sessions. They will be recorded, so if you have to miss, you can watch or listen before the following week. In order to get the value from the class, I highly suggest that you miss no more than three sessions.

3.) Meet with your “Writing Buddy” once a week to share your pages to give and receive feedback (more about that in the class).

4.) Communicate with me if you’re having an issue that prevents you from doing any of the above.

My Commitment:

It will be my joy to do my part, which is…

Facilitate the Workshop each week—and in the rare case of my absence for any unforeseen reason, I’ll have one of my colleagues sit in for me (who you will likely enjoy more than me!)

Share Everything I’ve Got: I can’t wait to give you every one of my hard-earned tips, tools, tricks, and treats I’ve learned in my twenty-year (holy God!) publishing career.

Hold the Space for you to share your work with the class to get group feedback. Because it won’t be possible to share your work (out loud) in class every week (that’s what your writing buddy is for), my guarantee is that each participant will get at least four opportunities to share at a group level during the class. When it is your turn, I suggest that you make it count, by sharing a piece that you feel represents you and your project.

Introduce you to Industry Professionals: One session per month (approximately) I will bring in an industry professional as a guest speaker (a successful writer, agent or publisher) to shed light on their area of expertise in the business—do’s and don’ts, best practices and suggestions for writers. Then you’ll get to interact and ask them your burning questions.

Make it Fun and Inspiring—In this class/workshop you will receive constructive feedback as you are surrounded by a womb-like conditioning field of love, support and the spirit of anything’s possible (because it is), and your wildest publishing dreams can all come true (because they can).

Picture yourselfit’s the end of May, 2022…you’ve just typed the words “The End.”

Your manuscript’s first draft is done.

You hear a choir of angels sing, the Champaign bottles popping their corks, and you get up from your desk and start doing the happy dance to James Brown’s I Feel Good!

You did it!

You’ve just accomplished the thing that millions…maybe even billions of people say they want to do in their lifetime, but never do…you just finished your manuscript…

You got ‘er done.

Disclaimer: It often requires several iterations of polishing your manuscript before it is publishable—or ready to send to agents and publishers. We’ll address those steps and stages in this course. But none of those secondary stages mean anything if you don’t have a first draft. The first draft is King (or Queen, as the case may be).

About Kelly:

Kelly, aka “Doctor Dream”, is known as one of America’s premiere dream analysts, with over 10 bestselling books to her name, including her newly released Amazon.com bestseller, Luminous Humanness: 365 Ways to Go, Grow & Glow to Make it Your Best Year Yet, she writes:

“Just moments before I left my body, I’d been confined to an ego prison inside an earth-bound body, bone white knuckles grasping the guide rails of my life. But in an instant, I was suddenly freed from my shackles, elevated beyond the myopia of my teacup-sized world to a viewpoint as vast as the sky. The floodgates opened, no longer in charge, I was on the ride, going where it—whatever it was—wanted to take me. Even though I was without my body, I was aware, I had my thoughts, my perspective. I was still me, just a vastly more liberated version — at one with the swirling light show of the universe.“

Kelly is a frequent guest on national TV (Dr. Oz & The Real) and radio (Coast to Coast, and her own weekly show Ask Dr. Dream). For the last two decades she’s enriched the lives of countless individuals, transformational leaders, Fortune 500 executives, UN ambassadors, celebrities, TV producers, entrepreneurs, inner-city kids, and stay-at-home moms—helping them to decode their dreams in order to more powerfully live the life of their dreams.

She’s the CARTA award-winning author of the Hero’s Journey Dream Oracle Cards and been around the publishing block. After self-publishing her first book, she’s sold books to houses large and small, from Simon and Schuster, Hachette, and Warner Books, to Hay House, Source Books, Llewellyn, Red Wheel Weiser-Conari, US Games, Blue Angel and Fair Winds Press.

Kelly is the author of Dream Oracle Cards, Dream Goddess Empowerment Deck, Awakened Dreamer Oracle Cards, and ten books, including bestsellers, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Dreams and The Unexplainable, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Dreams and Premonitions, I Had the Strangest Dream, It’s All in Your Dreams, Dreaming Heaven, and The Love, Sex & Relationship Dream Dictionary. Her latest work of heart is the Amazon.com bestseller, Luminous Humanness.

She is the past president of the Woman’s National Book Association (LA Chapter), a certified clinical hypnotherapist, inspirational speaker, creator of Dream-Life Coach Training. She’s decoded dreams for celebrities such as Topher Grace, Stassi Schroeder, Logan Paul, Rikki Lake, The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Gretchen Rossi and Heather Dubrow, Monica Potter, and Dancing with the Stars’, Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

The short film (inspired by a dream) she co-produced with her husband, Dana Walden, won a 2019 World Film Festival Award and IASD Dream Art Award. She’s also been nominated for the prestigious 2021 LOVIE Award, ARTA Award, and was a Webbie Award Honoree for the show Dream Stream, where she was the Dream Doctor. Lastly, she was a Walden Award nominee (her name being just a coincidence ;).

Founder of The Dream Project and CHIME IN (The Change Is Me International), Kelly and her husband, Dana, created these non-profit organizations that have and still are inspiring young people (sever hundred thousand to date) to solve global issues described in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Her approach to dreams and working with writers is both reverent and irreverent, which may account for why she’s rumored to be the love-grandchild of Carl Jung and Lucille Ball. You can learn more about Kelly and her work at:

Lisa Campion - Author of the #1 bestselling books “The Art of Psychic Reiki” (2018) and “Energy Healing for Empaths” (2021) and the upcoming book, “Awakening Your Psychic Ability.” (New Harbinger Press, 2023)

Kelly Sullivan Walden is the ultimate book midwife.  She was instrumental in helping me get my first book deal and held my hand through the process in such a loving and wise way. She believed in me and my work so much that it helped me get over the gritty, bumpy parts of the process.  I would hit a roadblock and her immense wisdom, grace, experience and knowledge of the publishing process helped smooth out all the places where I would have simply given up had I been on my own. Her expertise in the book launch process helped ensure that my first two books made a bestseller in multiple categories before the books were even launched. I could not have done it without Kelly, and I am eternally grateful that I didn’t have to!  My books continue to sell extremely well, and my first book has been translated into multiple languages already.  And the cherry on top of the sundae is that just today, I signed with my publisher for my third book.  I owe so much of this to Kelly’s amazing support and guidance, she is the best book fairy Godmother one could have.


Catherine Zani - Author of Piper Once and Again and Waiting for Grace

I am a firm believer in the miracle of meeting the right people on your path when we need them. What better validation that you are indeed on the right path? I still sit in wonder when I recall the string of synchronicity that put Kelly on my path. And when I say Kelly is one of the “right” people. I mean that she not only got me headed in a new direction to get my book out to the world, she did so with enthusiasm and Love! She is a true cheerleader and visionary who has blazed a trail uniquely her own and that to me is pure gold. I can remember being hesitant to get started only because I didn’t know much about the business and there are some opportunistic people in every area of life who would love to take my money. As soon as Kelly opened our call with a blessing, I knew she was the real deal, perfectly aligned with her purpose. Dizzy with excitement, tears and gratitude. I thought, What just happened? Within no time, I had a literary agent ready to sign with me, soon after I had a contract with a publisher who is equally aligned with her purpose and this all took place within 6 months of working ith Kelly. To say I am grateful for Kelly and the blessing she is to so many is an understatement.

Dr. Sam Collins - Bestselling author of Radio Heaven

My book lived for a long time in my head (and heart) but making it a reality, with two kids (and another on the way) not to mention my full-time career, could have never happened (in this lifetime). Without being championed every step of the way by Kelly, my book never would have seen the light. It was a labor of love that not only birthed my bestselling book, but a new dimension of my soul…and meaningful contribution to others.


ChadECooper.png

Chad E. Cooper – Bestselling author of Time isn’t the Problem

When I discovered I had a book inside of me and it needed to come out, I completely resisted every bit of the traditional process. The traditional process of writing it out haunted me because I have a full and very active l life–I was never going to be the guy to say “No” to my family, service projects, and clients in favor of sitting at my desk long enough to write a book–and I’m a time management expert!

Taking time to write a book, even though I knew it would ultimately be of benefit to many people, in the short term felt like a selfish, even narcissistic venture. In other words, I was in a double bind that I could not seem to get untangled from. It wasn’t until I met Kelly and Dana Walden that the impossible became possible. Within no time–actually about a year–my book was launched! Working with Kelly made it possible for me to have my cake (my full life) and eat it too (write a book that I’m incredibly proud of).  I feel incredibly blessed and could never have become a published author without them.


WendyCapland.png

Wendy Capland - Bestselling author of Your Next Bold Move

Working with Kelly to launch my book was amazing. Kelly’s support, guidance, and insight was the rocket fuel I needed to make my book an Amazon.com best seller. I absolutely positively could not have done it without her help!


JoeGagnon.png

Joe Gagnon - Best-selling Author of the Living the High Performance Life

Having an Amazon Best Seller book is nothing short of remarkable and something that had no chance of happening if it were not for Kelly’s guidance, expertise, experience, support, thoughtful pushing and most of all friendship.


KathleenOKeefeKanavos.png

Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos – International Bestselling Author

With Kelly’s expert guidance, my book, Surviving Cancerland, was catapulted to the Amazon International Bestseller List in an additional 3 categories. Kelly went above and beyond the call of duty helping to make my dream of being a bestselling author come true. I am forever grateful!


Kelly Sullivan Walden creates such a magical and inviting space to discover our inner genius in the writing process. Along with that comes an intimate connection with all the other writers, in what is so much more than writing. It is a deeply honest, vulnerable and connecting nakedness as we all expose and explore what makes us ache and what makes us human. It is this fodder that we use to turn sand into pearls and pain into wisdom. The frame of the Hero’s Journey was by far my favorite part, as it validates the struggles we all walk through in life, as well as normalized them. It also reminds us that we are all on a hero’s journey and that we walk it many times in many ways. It reminds us to stop looking myopically at the present moment and remember there is a 3-act play happening in our lives, at all times. I cannot say enough about how relieving it is to be reminded of this, all the while, I am held with support and accountability to write my book. I am moved and touched, reminded and reassured, and lovingly reflected by my peers. I couldn’t be happier or more amazed at this class.

~Jo-e Sutton, Holistic Health Practitioner, author of the upcoming book, Falling in Love with Your Shadows, www.LoveYourWayToHealth.com


Get Er Done is a beautifully laid out, structured program designed to help inspired writers to complete their writing projects. So many aspects of the writing journey were shared, with insights into the grit required to get a book done and have it published. It is a well-rounded program showing me what to be aware of (in the areas of publishing and working with editors) which helped paint a clearer picture of what to expect. The wisdom shared by Kelly regarding her own writing journey and sojourn in to published was greatly appreciated, as were the sessions with guest writers, artists, publishers and teachers. Each session opened with a meditative journey into our process, inviting us to envision, consider and conjure aspects of the journey that would help us go deeper.

As a guide, Kelly was a consistent voice for us to continue writing, getting our ‘butts’ in the chair to write, understand why we were writing and to feel into how our own creative works could and would touch others in some positive way. She held the voice of perseverance throughout the 9 months, all the while, giving us tools, connecting us to each other and allowing each of us to contribute to each other as well. I deeply valued the comments, processes and struggles, insights and wisdom of the others in the group and of my smaller group which connected weekly online. Get ‘Er Done echoes the importance of sharing our voices through writing to the world, and Kelly provides the alchemical salve to the growing pains and blocks we meet along the way. Bravo, Kelly, Get Er Done is a pillar of support for those courageous enough to put pen to paper and trust the journey.

~Susan Allen, BA Fine Arts, ITB, Founder, Yellow Coco Creative Nest, Bali, author of the upcoming book, Life Force River, https://yellowcocobali.com/


Being in Kelly’s group gave me the inspiration and confidence to stick with this process, she brings her wisdom, humor, compassion and talent to every gathering. What can say she’s a force of nature.

~Judy Brooks – Creator of the Healing Quest series on PBS and iHeart Radio


The Get er' Done writing class surprised me in the amount of internal alchemical growth that I experienced. The topics of the day pushed me past my natural comforts in a positive manner. I feel truly supported by Kelly, and the students alongside me were just as supportive. I feel truly honored to be a part of this hero’s journey. All in all, even when there were times when I struggled writing, I feel that the class carried me through hardship, and inspired me to write even when the class completed.

~Cole Castner


The " Get Her Done Authors Journey" has been an incredible deep dive into a previously unknown territory of writing for me. I have a new appreciation for the craft of stringing words together. Kelly and the group have been extremely supportive in my creative growth in this area of focus. I gained loads of helpful suggestions from: writing processes, editing, publishing and beyond.

If you have been toying with the idea of writing but don't know where or how to start this is a class for you. If you already have written in the past and are looking to crank out your next work, this class is also for you!

Kelly is a wonderful teacher and her guest speakers are on point and touch the current zeitgeist.

~Alison Lyon Sachs, DreamWork Practioner, Reiki Master


The Get ‘Er Done Author’s workshop is thoughtfully designed to get authors started and keep them writing. Kelly Sullivan Walden fosters genuine community, which in turn generates supportive accountability, critical feedback, and boundless encouragement. Most importantly, though, the course makes space for authors to turn inward and introspect to find the self-knowledge and motivation necessary for success.

~Ned Lederer, Founding Principal of Open Lens Consulting


I was inspired, supported, and coached beyond what I had imagined when I signed up for Kelly’s writing course. I am more fully on my path as a writer, and thanks to Kelly’s, and the group’s, insights during the course I have a fuller vision of what I have to say as an author. I am much, much further along in my creative process, and the vision of writing my book is now an actuality in process instead of a dream for the future.

~Jane Carlton, Gemoligist and DreamWorker, MA in Consciousness and Transformative Studies, Graduate Certificate in Dream Studies from John F. Kennedy University, author of the upcoming Ruby in the Rough - https://www.yourdreamingself.com


Kelly Sullivan Walden’s class is unique in its ability to motivate (and complete) writing, offer feedback, and make contacts with stars in the writing and publishing world.
