Hi, I’m Karen Kelloway.
I’m an Author and Career Strategist. One of the great joys in my life is writing both fiction and non-fiction books that take readers on an exciting, rewarding, universally relevant hero’s journey. Writing different genres keeps my career evergreen for me.
When I’m writing non-fiction, like my career advice blogs or NAIL IT! A Strategic Roadmap to Career Advancement, it’s like I’m writing a documentary. It’s factual, a step-by-step process.
When I’m writing fiction, like Keepers of the Pact, it’s like I’m writing a script for a movie. I’m in the flow, it’s visual. I’m downloading and listening for the stories my characters want to tell.
Writing Gordon the Gnome: A Career Parable was both a linear and lyrical experience. Gordon draws on my 20+ years as a Career Strategist, while providing an entertaining, fiction tale of a business gnome and his career hero’s journey.
Samples of my work include:

My Story
One of the reasons I love writing both fiction and non-fiction is because it’s the best of both worlds. It’s left and right brain, linear and lyrical, head and heart. I often get asked where I get my inspiration. One way is walking in nature. Taking in the forest’s sights and sounds calls in the muse. Thoughts start flowing so fast my fingers can’t keep up. It is my congruent, creative outlet. I hope my work inspires you to find and share yours.
