E432 - Roxanne McCarty-O'Kane - Ignite Your Passion and Write Your Book, Ghost Writing and Coaching
Episode 432 - Roxanne McCarty-O'Kane - Ignite Your Passion and Write Your Book, Ghost Writing and CoachingI am a qualified journalist who has written for a number of newspapers, magazines and e-zines and am what you would call a jack of all trades.
I ‘published’ my first book when I was in my final year of primary school. It was aptly called School Journal Part 4 Number 2 and had a strong ocean theme, with short stories, articles and poetry about sea life. It featured a cardboard cover that held stapled paper pages and this was the first and only time I have ever accompanied my words with illustrations (and for good reason…).
An avid bookworm beforehand, this project earned me an A++ and provided the initial spark for a future career in writing.Rain, hail, or shine, they always received their papers and being in the land of the long white cloud, it often meant arriving home from deliveries soaked-through.
Fast forward to today and I have been a professional storyteller since 2007. My first era was as a qualified print media journalist. My second era as an <a href='https://www.roxannewriter.com.au/media/'>award-winning nonfiction book ghostwriter</a> and writing mentor began in 2018.
Since then, I have had the privilege of assisting people of all ages and all walks of life to showcase their expertise or share their incredible life stories in books that are changing the world. I have helped each and every one of them move through the perceived challenges that prevent many from taking the first steps to authorship.
Helping people to find their spark and become brave enough to share it with the world is my fuel. Guiding people to find their voice and share their message in a powerful way that connects and transforms is my why. Processing large volumes of information and a lifetime worth of stories is my passion. Providing guidance and structured order to the myriad ideas buzzing around in the mind of an aspiring author is my gift.
Making ghostwriting clients feel safe during my interviews (and knowing which questions to prompt them with) is my superpower.
Whether it’s ‘How to make $1 million’ or ‘My journey through breast cancer’, every book has the potential to resonate deeply with people if it is crafted in the right way and written from the heart.
I look forward to supporting you in any way you need to get the story off your heart and into the world, where it can serve, change lives, inspire, educate and even give your bank account a healthy boost!
