Notes from Chris

Episode 3055
Writing a book is no small task, but the internet is full of claims that you can publish a book in just one week. Is this legit, or are we being sold a fantasy?

Today’s question comes from Jasmine in New York, who wants to know if speed-publishing is possible and whether it can work for first-time authors. Let’s break down the reality of these claims and explore how you can write efficiently without sacrificing quality.

"Hey Chris, this is Jasmine from New York! I’ve been working on a book idea for months, but every time I sit down to write, I feel overwhelmed by how long the process seems. I recently saw a post from someone claiming they published a book in just one week. Is that even possible? If so, how do you structure such a fast timeline while still creating something worth reading? I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether speed-publishing can work for first-time authors or if it’s just hype."
