Audiobooks Just Surpassed Ebooks in Sales. That’s Not a Typo.

System > One-Off Tactics

Your Story Is Not a Memoir. It Is a Business Asset.

Why a book no longer takes a year
“I don't have time to write a book.” That sentence used to be true. In 2014, writing a book was an eighteen-month project that included a year of evenings, a stack of false starts, and a manuscript that got rewritten twice. Most experts who tried it quit. The ones who...

Your book already exists. It just needs to be assembled.
Most experts kill the idea of writing a book on the same sentence: “I wouldn't even know what to write about.” Here's the truth they're missing. They've already written it. Three or four times over. They just haven't realized they've been doing it for years. If you've...
