Tiny Book Author: There's a Tiny Book in You Waiting to Be Written

by Fabio Cerpelloni

Many aspiring authors tell themselves they'll write a book one day, but they never do. Some might feel overwhelmed or insecure. Others think they need to write hundreds of pages, have extraordinary life stories, or be naturally talented. "Tiny Book Author" shows another way. If we want to publish a book, what we need is already within us: a desire to serve a small group of people, a passion for writing, and the courage to share a message we care about. Fabio Cerpelloni, a tiny author from Italy, learned this when he published "Any Language You Want," an 80-page book about how he learned English, his second language. In "Tiny Book Author," he shares the lessons, stories, and insights from that first publishing journey. He offers words of encouragement and answers questions that many first-time authors have. This is his second tiny book — and it's here to help you write your own. "Page for page, one of the most powerful books you'll ever read. Urgent, actionable and generous."—Seth Godin, author of "The Practice."

[Christopher Walker · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another successful book much in the vein of Any Language You Want, though this one serves to motivate the reader to put their ideas down on paper and work towards the creation of their own tiny book, rather than to learn a new language. I suppose a companion text would motivate more of us to read - that would be very helpful in today's world of short attention spans and smartphone addiction! Some of Fabio's advice and suggestions were familiar to me, but it has been my lot to read a number of books like this, so for readers coming to the subject fresh this is sure to prove an insightful resource.

Readers will take to Fabio's writerly voice readily and comfortably, and while they will find themselves arriving at the conclusion of this book not long after beginning, they should not be surprised to find themselves picking it up again a week or two later, when the motivation runs dry or they reach some creative obstacle.

If you’ve ever thought about writing a book — at all — and haven’t written one yet, you should probably read this book. It makes the concept of “writing a book” seem like an actual possibility. Give it an afternoon. That’s all it’ll take. And then get up and start writing your own helpful and generous book!
