Happy Father’s Day!

Today tends to be a bit of an emotional day for many, and I want to acknowledge that. Still, there are several men who have been proud fathers that I want to affirm and encourage today, including mine!

The last time I posted here, it was Mother’s Day, and I had just shared at an event: the “Fearless Women’s Summit” in the Charlotte area (Concord, NC).

For me, preparing for that event was a bit challenging, as it had been years since I stood on a stage to speak to an audience. I am so grateful that I was able to complete my assignment well.

The challenge to show up repeatedly, regardless of whether there is an immediate ROI or not, is to be acknowledged. Sometimes we would rather not – because we’ve already decided that it won’t help us much.

Pushing past negative thoughts to continue doing what you’ve been doing – and perfecting/amplifying/maximizing it – is a skill that many tend to push into the background, or even deny that it’s a thing.

In the same way that I pushed through to deliver my speech to an intimate group in Concord NC, I want to encourage you as a father. The daily task of nurturing and providing for a child may be daunting, boring, or rigorous – but if done with love, patience, and care, you will reap your rewards.

Keep going.

SPECIAL NOTE: If you want to work with me as you draft your book, get it edited and released to the world via the independent publishing space, I can help you with all of that! Visit bit.ly/authorconsults to schedule a consultation call with me at Embolden Media Group. The company has a lot of great packages to offer you, and I’d like to help you get started!

In the meantime, enjoy some of the photos from my event in May.

Speak to you soon!

Six-Week Book Challenge Update

The Writer’s Experience Six-Week Book Challenge was launched last week, and we’ve hit the ground running. We are all writing new books; I’m writing my sixth, while everyone else is writing their first book.

It’s scary for new authors. I understand the hesitation when confronted with the idea of pouring out your heart onto pages for others to read. I assured them that this was what was needed. We don’t need any more books to be buried with their authors.

We had homework assigned; one of them is to summarize their book in 150 words or less. Can you summarize your book that you’re working on in just a few words? Send it to me (via email – info@michellegcameron.com) so I can take a look!

Talk with you soon!

Fight Self-Doubt and Win!

Hello,

I just hosted our first mini writing retreat for 2025 yesterday, and so many things were swirling around in my mind before, during, and after our retreat.

One thing that came to me at full force was this message:

This may sound self-explanatory or simple, but we rarely think of self-doubt as being equivalent to unbelief.

If we are authors who feel that pull or nudge to write, and we doubt ourselves, we are saying that:

  • our message doesn’t matter.
  • we don’t write well enough to share it.
  • no-one can be helped by our message.
  • we’re not the right person to share this message.
  • our way of telling our story is unrelatable, so people just won’t get it.
  • Maybe we’ve even said, “They’ve talked about this already. Why should I bother?”

If you KNOW that you were nudged or pulled on to write, then that is your green light to move towards your goal. Don’t look around and compare; your story is unique to you and your circumstances.

I gave this example yesterday: even if you and your friend had the same home situation: two-parent home, two older brothers, went to the same schools and lived in the same neighborhood – your lives may look the same externally (say, in a statistics or data set), but each person is living a unique life. No two lives are the same. No experience is lived the same. Even if a lot of the external factors match, each person’s internal thought pattern or processing of events will still be different.

I’m saying all of this to say: GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY! Look inward, look heavenward, and let’s get your book out!

So – you are invited to join us for The Writer’s Experience Book Challenge! We are challenging YOU to finish your book in just SIX weeks! I will prepare you and share vital information along the way. We will meet four times out of the six-week period (to give you time to write). We will have our kickoff on Feb 5, then we will meet on Feb 19, Mar 5 and wrap up on Mar 19. These sessions are all on Wednesdays at 7pm ET for ONE HOUR.

Your work will be reviewed by me in-between our sessions, so you must complete and email each assignment back to me for review to keep up.

I am EXCITED to see who will WIN this challenge! Let’s DO IT! I hosted my first book challenge in 2020 – it was so much fun, and several authors completed their books.

You can register now for $295; the price willincrease to $395 on February 1st.

I cannot wait to have you in class next week – Wednesday, February 5!

Register today; see you there! Space is reserved for TWELVE people.

Some spots are still left! https://bit.ly/mgcbookchallenge

2025 Is Coming…

Hello!

I hope you had a great Christmas!

Thank you for journeying with me up to this point.

It is my hope that you’ve learned a lot throughout the year, and that you are more aware of what writing a book can look like for you.

My dream is to help everyone create a published version of their knowledge (thought leaders/business owners with impactful paperback or ebooks – or both), or share your stories and lessons learned through non-fiction work – memoirs, devotionals, or similar kinds of work.

I firmly believe that EVERYONE has at least one book inside of them.

YOU are part of “everyone.” I believe that everyone that I am connected to in real life should have at least one well-written book with their name on the cover, and meaningful content inside. Our voice comes through our written content. A website, social media page, or blog may be disconnected or discontinued, but a book will last forever. Your copyright lasts up to 70 years after your passing, so that says a LOT about owning written/published content.

Books open so many doors. Without published books, you would have never heard of me, nor of many of the people that you know and trust today.

What do I have in mind for 2025?? I want to pivot and share my message to broader audiences. Whether that’s through speaking, coaching, training, joining podcasts, or curating offers that will help others amplify their voices (e.g. audiobooks, book refreshes, marketing offers, etc.), I want to know that I am providing needed value to those who have a burning desire to share their work and knowledge with the world.

I am also interested in supporting authors who want to publish traditionally as well! I am preparing to learn more about the process, and what is needed to take that route.

I added some information below that you can review and take advantage of as soon as possible. Some are time-sensitive; others are for whenever you are ready.

I look forward to sharing my journey as I expand and meet the needs of others next year. I firmly believe that 2025 will be BIGGER, BETTER and BOLDER for Michelle G. Cameron, LLC.

HAPPY 2025 when it comes!

Exciting News!

This photo represents the end of Day 2 – two days of recording my client’s audiobook! We started our journey on Sunday, December 1 when I picked her up at the airport here in Charlotte, NC.

We spent time at brunch, and then I performed a final review of her manuscript to ensure it had what she needed – including formatting the text to make it easier to read during the recording.

We provided a copy to our producer so he could follow along, and I had my laptop open to make on-the-spot changes as required.

We recorded over two half-days to give her voice time for recovery.

The studio was amazing….and I did not think to take a video tour of the location – but it was beautiful!

The producer ensured that we paused for external sounds (like cars, a train, etc.) to have a cleaner sound. He is completing the post production work now. I cannot wait to share an audio sample so you can hear the premium quality of the recordings.

We will be ready to help you soon with your audiobook (including new and experienced authors). If you KNOW that this is what you want to do in 2025, connect with me ASAP HERE >>> info@michellegcameron.com to join our waitlist for audiobook recordings!

We have access to voice actors if you prefer not to use your own voice.

Pricing is reasonable, considering the typical costs for studio rental and production hours.

More to come! Stay tuned.
