[Rachel B · Rating 2 out of 5]

A short read that covers basic information on writing a book; it could be good for the non-reader/non-writer who has never thought through these topics before, but it was far too broad and basic for me.

I listened to the audiobook, which sounded like AI - the inflections and breaks between words were awkward, and many words were mispronounced, which was frustrating and distracting.

1. Why do you want to write a book?
2. Types of non-fiction books
3. The most important quality for writing success
