Hi everyone, my name is Kate Manton, and I come from beautiful North Wales. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked in global operations and project management roles within market research companies. It’s been an incredibly rewarding career—I’ve learned a lot and met some wonderful people. However, I always had a little niggle in the back of my mind, a desire to do something associated with books. Whether it was writing, publishing, or editing, I wasn’t sure, and I didn’t know how to find out either.
While I enjoyed my career, I longed for something different, something that offered more control over my hours and a greater return on investment for the time I put into my work. I wanted to wake up every day feeling passionate about what I did. Then, one day on Facebook, I came across an advert Sophie had posted about learning more about KDP and her community. I joined the seminar and was immediately hooked. I knew this was what I wanted to do.
So, I joined the KDP program and became part of the community. Already, I’m starting to feel the benefits. I’ve published a couple of low-content and medium-content books, as well as self-help books with companion workbooks. The royalties have started coming in, and I can feel a positive difference in my day. I have more time to do things I enjoy, and my husband tells me I’m happier—a great sign!
The community and support from the coaching staff are superb. They are responsive and genuinely want you to succeed. The program’s materials are well-laid-out and informative, making the entire process approachable.
If you’ve ever felt a similar niggle or wondered if there’s something different out there for you, take that step. You never know where it might lead. I can already see new opportunities in my career and future, and I’m spending my days doing something I truly enjoy. Good luck, and thank you!
