| 0:04.2 | Welcome back for another episode of Reality Life with Kate Casey, and welcome back for this Saturday series episode. |
| 0:10.4 | My guest today is someone who understands both the mess and the mastery behind a powerful story. |
| 0:16.4 | If you're somebody who has ever wondered what it would take to write a book, this is the episode for you. |
| 0:23.3 | Anna David is a New York Times bestselling author, publisher, TEDx speaker, and one of the most |
| 0:29.1 | respected voices in the world of book publishing and author authority. But what makes Anna so compelling |
