          • #131 – Kim O’Hara on What Is a Book Coach?

            It took Kim O’Hara three decades to publish her first book. Yet, she was hardly a slacker.

            At the age of 25 she had produced her first million dollar movie.

            She loved making movies because she could lose herself in stories and bring to audiences the empathy evoked by story telling.

            She loved reading books as a child – it was an escape from the abuse – and in movie producing she was always looking for that next great book to bring to the screen.

            Today, she has a thriving coaching business, serving dozens of published clients all over the United States.
