Kathy Carlton Willis

Author | Editor | Book Doctor

Kathy Carlton Willis has always enjoyed fiddling with words. A variety of her columns and book reviews appear online and in print publications, such as Victorian Homes Magazine. She is somewhat of a grammar guru, with a column for writers appearing in ByLine Magazine. She's also a contributor to Groovy Chicks Road Trip To Peace. As a newspaper journalist, Kathy has worked as copyeditor and feature writer for The Sunday Challenger prior to working from home. She loves encouraging other writers as a writer's coach and mentor, and believes in paying it forward in the industry. Each year she mentors ten writers with hopes of seeing them grow to the next level in their writing.

 

Publicist                                                                                     Kathy has worked promoting writers in the industry for several years. In July 2007 opened Kathy Carlton Willis Communications as way to help get the word out about the works of writers, speakers and conferences. She serves as one of the publicists for Cecil Murphey Scholarship recipients, and has assisted in writing marketing plans for Cec and others. She has a varied client list, and passionately seeks creative ways to provide them media attention (radio, television, newspaper, magazine, internet and blog tours).

Speaker                                                                                     Kathy gets “jazzed” serving as a speaker/singer for faith-based and secular groups as well as writers' conferences across the country. Her life is a testimony of God’s sufficient grace in the face of adversity, and she is well-respected for her practical and often humorous messages full of hope and insight. Audiences are impacted by Kathy’s willingness to be transparent during her messages and also wait for one-on-one time with her after her speaking events.

Minister's Wife                                                                          Kathy Carlton Willis grew up in the heartland of small-town America (Louisiana, MO). After marrying at age 18, she attended Baptist Bible College with her husband Russ Willis. They both graduated with honors, and Kathy received the Key Award for most outstanding female student. She and Russ have enjoyed more than a quarter of a century together and share their home with two fur-babies, Jazzy and Libby. They have been in the ministry for over 20 years. Kathy enjoys participating in music and women’s ministries. Visit her personal blog: I'm Living Out Loud!

When my publishing house assigned Kathy Carlton Willis to my book project, I had no idea what to expect. What exactly does a "book doctor" do? I soon discovered Kathy to be hard working, and have enjoyed our working relationship. She's as passionate for this project as if it was her own and I constantly thank God for her commitment to excellence.

Kathy allowed Jesus to take the wheel regarding this project, and listened to the Lord for guidance. This was clearly not a run of the mill, everyday editing project. It involved a great deal of collaboration, and she has exceeded my expectations, carefully listened to my suggestions and concerns and incorporating them into the finished product. She helped in rewriting the book, in coming up with a companion journal to offer our readers, and is now working on Book Two. She has also consulted with me regarding the niche marketing and publicity campaign and is creative in thinking outside of the box to reach the intended audience with the message.

Thanks to her commitment to excellence, we are already receiving endorsements from such giants as:  Ray Comfort (The Way of the Master), Byron Scott (NBA New Orleans Hornets Head Coach), David Tyree (Wide Receiver, New York Giants).

It's clear to see that Kathy not only views this as her business but also as a ministry.
