Who’s the coolest person on Twitter? Well, for many, it’s Kelly Oxford. Originally from Edmonton, Kelly spent the last ten or so years here in Calgary developing one of the most rabid Twitter followings on the entire internet. At last count, she has more than 530,000 Twitter followers! Her account is filled with witty and satirical comments from a busy mom, wife and professional and often, they are exactly what you’re thinking…just funnier. Since her Twitter account exploded and became a must-follow for the who’s who in Hollywood, Oxford has gone on to sell screenplays, pilots and now, she’s written her first book, Everything is Perfect When You’re a Liar.
The book is already a bestseller and no wonder, it’s freaking hilarious. And it’s that book that brought Kelly back to Calgary for two different events, that I was lucky enough to host.
The first night, Kelly was met with more than a hundreds of her fans/readers/followers at a Chapters for a book signing at the very store where most of it was written. It was preceded by a Q + A which I got to host. It was a ton of fun chatting to Kelly about the ins and outs of her book, especially in front of the people who’ve likely read every word of anything she’s ever written.
The second event was held the next day, at the first ever Content Saloon. The event brought together those interested in using social media to promote (or create) their brands and who better to hear from, than the woman who turned her life into a brand. For the second day in a row, I got the chance to host the Q+A with Kelly, but this time we focused more on social media, branding and, because it’s Kelly Oxford, a little swearing.
The majority of the interview was captured on video, so if you feel like you’ve got forty minutes to kill, and want to see me do my best impression of Strombo, then you should definitely watch. Oxford dishes up some fantastic advice about becoming a writer, using social media personally and professionally and other tricks of the trade, which at times, seems like she’s known her whole life.
Always great fun interviewing the very people that I admire. Thanks Kelly!
I wish to show some appreciation to the writer just for
rescuing me from this type of trouble. Just after exploring throughout the world wide web and finding principles that
were not beneficial, I figured my life was over. Existing devoid of the
solutions to the difficulties you have fixed by means of the review is a critical case, as well as the kind
which may have negatively damaged my career if I hadn’t noticed your web page. Your own ability and kindness in controlling everything was important. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not
encountered such a subject like this. I can also now look forward to my future.
Thank you so much for the impressive and sensible guide.
I won’t think twice to recommend the sites to anybody who needs guidelines about this issue.
excellent points altogether, you just won a new reader.
What may you recommend about your publish that you just made a few days
in the past? Any sure?
Needed to compose you one very small remark to help thank
you very much as before over the gorgeous knowledge
you have discussed above. It is generous of people like you to provide openly exactly what a few people might have marketed
as an e book to help make some profit on their own, most importantly considering the fact that you could possibly have done it if you ever wanted.
The good ideas also served like the good way to
know that the rest have the same eagerness like my personal own to know the truth a
great deal more regarding this condition. I am certain there are many more
pleasurable periods in the future for individuals who
take a look at your site.
