Ep. 10 | The Book in You: A Lasting Legacy

In this episode, I have the pleasure of introducing you to Karen Yates. She is a long-time friend and someone I’ve had the privilege to work alongside as I’ve ventured through the world of publishing. I’ve gained tremendous insight into what it takes to write a book and all that it entails, from paper to print. She's real. She's honest. And if you have ever thought of writing a book, this is an episode you DO NOT want to miss! Karen graduated from Westmont College in 1998 as an English major. She worked in the non-profit sector for 12 years as a Director of Communications, overseeing direct and online marketing efforts, fundraising funnels, receipt and donor relations, public relations, and product offerings. During that season, on the side, Karen would help the Yates & Yates team by reviewing manuscripts, helping shape messages, sharpening marketing plans, cover direction, and platform coaching. Her first Yates & Yates project was in 2001, and she hasn’t looked back!  Karen is responsible for discovering talents like Katie Davis Majors and Jennie Allen. She has also published multiple articles through Relevant Magazine, Christianity Today, and the Washington Post. Karen officially joined Yates & Yates in 2015 as a literary agent. As a right-brained INFJ and Enneagram 4 w 3, Karen brings a unique twist to the Yates & Yates team, offering intuition, ideation, leadership, and excellence in execution. In her spare time, she enjoys the mountains, pine trees, puzzles, and playing piano, and she has been a worship leader at her church for over 20 years. She is married to Curtis, and together they have three teenage children.
