Community Highlights: Meet Keren Kilgore of Quantum Shift Media

Today we’d like to introduce you to Keren Kilgore.

Hi Keren, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’ve always loved stories and was passionate about finding just the right words to express exactly what I was trying to say. I was really good at writing. I started editing and ghostwriting books 25 years ago. I enjoyed deeply connecting to the energy of the book, knowing what its highest potential was, then getting the content to hit that mark.

I believe everyone has something important to say. You don’t have to be a good writer to be an author… you just need a good editor. Your voice is important and needs to be heard and only you can say it. Some people may only be able to hear it from you.

I offer many services to help someone get their book published. I can be involved in any or all of them, depending on what best serves my client.

I coach authors to find the compelling hook of their book and create a content strategy and outline.

My weekly writing workshops help authors get the book written.

I offer a Book Assessment to evaluate the health of a book and determine how much editing it will need.

I have several editing packages that include Developmental Edit, Line Edits, and Proofing.

Once the book is ready, I design the cover and interior layout so that it is highly professional and competitive.

Finally, I offer a 90-Day Book Launch Blueprint course and show you how to make $10K in 90 days.

My goal is to publish an A+ book that will sell as many copies as possible and bring you new business.

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
As every business owner knows, sometimes it is downright, freaking hard. I am committed to providing an A+ book for my clients. They may be happy with a C, but I’m not. If I think their book content, cover design, or marketing plan can be a little better with a little more effort, I am going to push myself (and sometimes my clients) to hit the red bullseye rather than settle for an outside ring.

That means going the extra mile and over-delivering. And sometimes that costs me more than I anticipated giving. But when I have their autographed copy on my bookshelf, I know in my heart that I’ve done them good. And that makes me happy.

We’ve been impressed with Quantum Shift Media, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Quantum Shift Media is intentional about creating a shift in your business through book publishing. We know that being a published author has many benefits. It can:

1. Personal credibility – Lead Generator. When you write your book as a lead generator, it can be a source of new clients. Potential clients are looking for solutions to their problems. They are drawn to and influenced by people who are confident about what they do. Your book is a statement of confidence. With your bio and contact info at the back, readers often book sessions for additional work once they’ve read your book. It can draw new clients right to you.

2. Business Tool. Your book can also be used as a tool in your business. It can be required reading saving you time going over the same material with each client. It can be broken down into sections for your course curriculum leading your clients through standard steps.

3. Multiple Revenue Streams. In addition to making money from book sales, you can have revenue coming in from other avenues as well. Repurpose your book into articles, speeches, webinars, videos, and course content. Each of these can be an additional revenue stream.

4. Authority and Expertise Opens Speaking Gigs. Your nonfiction book often requires research and often interviews with experts. This research makes you the authority and opens up opportunities to land being on podcasts and booking speaking gigs on your topic. Speaking gigs are the best way to make a bigger impact and bring in more clients.

5. Credibility and Influence. Being a published author alone gives you and your business credibility. People think you’re smarter and the expert when you are published. It raises the bar in your business. When you’re the expert clients begin to see you in a whole different light and you have the ability to raise your prices.

What I love most about working with authors is connecting with them, their energy, and their mission for their book and helping them bring their book to its intended purpose.

I have worked with all types of authors on all types of books including self-help, biography, memoir, college textbooks, coffee table art books, poetry, children’s books, young reader books, and novels.

What sets me apart is that when a project comes to me, I know the Universe sent it and I give it my very best. I am client-centered and will always make decisions that are in their best interest. I choose to do you good.

Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
Yes! First, be coachable. Then, get a coach early on who can teach you what you don’t know and save yourself years of struggling to figure things out on your own. Second, know who you should listen to, then surround yourself with people who are better than you so that you can learn from the best.
