The newsletter for people who want to write a book that shakes the world.
You already know how powerful your story is.
You already know your knowledge and ideas could help more people—if you could just reach them.
People have been saying you need to write a book—to get your story out there, to help more people, to help make a name for yourself.
But nobody hands you a map for this.
Until now.
Story Rebel Digest is my weekly deep-dive on story craft, book writing, and authority building.
Every week, you’ll get frameworks, examples, and practical prompts you can use immediately—when telling your story in your daily life, and to help you get your manuscript across the finish line.
With each issue, you’ll get closer to shaping the raw material of your life into a message that moves people (and helps the right people find you).
So—what’s my story?
I’m Jessie Kwak. I’m an author, storyteller, ghostwriter, book coach. I’ve written over 20 books under my own name, and ghostwritten a half-dozen nonfiction business books and memoirs for my clients.
I’ve made stories up for as long as I can remember—and written them down since my parents first handed me a crayon and taught me my ABCs. I’ve obsessed over what makes a good story tick, reading every book on craft I could get my hands on, and struggling through draft after draft of my own work until things finally clicked.
My gift is making big ideas book-shaped.
Now, I teach that process to coaches, entrepreneurs, business owners, and anyone who wants to tell their story in a way that leaves their legacy and makes an impact on the world.
Story Rebel readers are people who:
- Are good at what they do, but don’t always know how to explain it
- Have a powerful personal story to tell, but aren’t sure how to shape it
- Are trying to connect with their audience, but their content isn’t always landing
- Know there’s a smarter way to position themselves, but aren’t always confident in their storytelling skills

If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

FAQ
- “Who is this for?” Anyone who has a powerful story to share, and wants to make an impact: with their book, in their business, etc. Especially ideal for entrepreneurs, business owners, coaches, and consultants who want to write a book.
- “Is this really free?” Absolutely! I occasionally share links to paid products and resources that I think you’ll find useful, and some of those are affiliate links that pay me a small percentage at no cost to you. But I only share resources I actually use and trust.
