The Not So Secret Lives of Real Mormon Wives: The Woman Who Turned a Media Punchline Into a Movement

Emily Clark is the acquisitions manager at Cedar Fort, where part of her job is filling the production schedule. A best-selling author in her own right, she has edited hundreds of books and written multiple books of her own, including romance. She is married to a writer and served a mission, and she describes the project that became The Not So Secret Lives of Real Mormon Wives as one she felt guided through from start to finish, from acquiring the book to producing the documentary it inspired, Women in Christ. What this conversation gives you: How a month of prayer and a freeway billboard turned into a book deal, and why eight women with almost no writing experience said yes before they heard the deadline. Why "sacred, not secret" became the editing rule that let real women tell real stories without feeding the sensationalism the world expected. The first step Emily gives any woman who feels called to share her story, testimony, or experience, and why a goal without a plan is just a dream. In Emily Clark's words: "the book came together in under 70 days. That is unheard of in publishing." Every season-one episode now has fresh clips going out on our channels.
