Meet Ky-Lee

She is the founder and director of Golden Brick Road Publishing, a female owned, and operated publishing house dedicated to empowering women to elevate their careers by sharing their stories with the world. Ky-Lee is the living definition of the term Bosswoman. In just 2 years, she has grown her business to six figures and has helped hundreds of authors.

From an early age, Ky-Lee loved to write and was aware of the power in her words. With an innate ability to convey strong messages and emotion, she was encouraged to write books and teach life lessons through the written word. Ky-lee is truly an inspirational, community driven leader whose mission is to better the world. Her underlying motivation behind her endeavors is to help people succeed.

Ky-Lee’s book, “Dear Limits, Get Out of My Way,” received a Book Excellence Award in the Personal Growth and Development category. The book encourages people to live their best lives by challenging social norms, facing their fears head on and re-framing the way they see limitations. The book explores the notion:

“What if the very thing standing in our way, is actually our golden opportunity?”

As an author, Ky-Lee understood that book marketing was no small feat. She found that many of the marketing opportunities she pursued were ineffective and did not yield the results she had hoped for.

“There were many opportunities that were financially draining, and a lot of services that didn’t help us stand out.”

In general, marketing and publicity programs can cost thousands of dollars and can be difficult to justify when a return on investment is not guaranteed. Ky-Lee chose to include the Book Excellence Awards in her marketing journey because she appreciated the guidance and support the program offered.

“I like that the awards committee was responsive to me and encouraging of authors…I feel they truly want to help authors be able to step out and shine.”
