You want to publish a book.
You just don't know where to start.

I’ve been in publishing for over 20 years and if there’s one thing that’s consistently true it’s that even I get overwhelmed sometimes by the firehose of information and decisions that need to be made.

So when someone who wants to write and publish a book drops into my DMs and says “what do I do next?” I’m never surprised.

Is there information everywhere? Yes, maybe too everywhere. And it contradicts itself. There are people who say they’re “experts” but are brand new to publishing themselves. Your situation is unique (it really is, everyone’s situation is different) so it’s hard to know what applies to you or to find the right information you need right now.

We. Are. Overwhelmed.

The truth is, publishing is overwhelming and it’s difficult to simplify something that includes making hundreds of different decisions.

That’s the truth but it’s not the only truth. There’s also this: sometimes the best thing is to figure out the smallest executable step. Where to start based on where you’re at.

This quick 4-question quiz does just that.

In about two minutes, you’ll know exactly which stage of the writing and publishing journey you’re at, and you’ll walk away with one clear, actionable next step.

What’s the easiest way to learn how to write and publish your book? The same way as everything else: one step at a time.
