Creating a book?
EXECUTIONSome of you may be wondering, what's my role in this project? Andy's the author, of course. I see myself as--what's called in the biz--his developmental editor. My role is to help Andy shape his material into a book. That means guiding him on matters of style, focus, and organization. Even...- Readerly

Creating a book?
EXECUTIONAgreed. I'd even take it a step further. Andy pre-over-delivers, if that makes sense! He gives first, freely, without expecting anything in return.- Readerly

Creating a book?
EXECUTIONWe're looking for a hook, an organizing theme or idea for the book. One we discussed today was "jumpstart." It's something Andy comes back to again and again. I like to think of it as "ready, fire, aim." It's the idea that it's better to just start something rather than overthink. A question...- Readerly

Possibly The Coolest Job Opportunity Ever
This job sounds like a golden opportunity for someone ambitious and local. A small detail, but should the title read "help wanted," rather than "for hire"? That might be confusing some folks.- Readerly

I want to write a -really- polarizing / antagonizing book
There's a difference between writing something and publishing it. If you feel drawn to write your polemical expose, why not jump in with a draft? After you've actually written the thing, then you can decide if you want to share it--and in what way. Stopping yourself from writing something you...- Readerly

Writing my first Non Fiction eBook
EXECUTIONTrue. I published a scholarly monograph with the University of Michigan Press a few years back. It indeed was a bargain at $50. It sold about 200 copies. Pretty good, considering how niche the topic was (culture studies of theoretical physics). The core of my suggestion is to use the book as a...- Readerly

Designs for Twitch Streamers
One way to approach the market might be to offer a few templates as freebies---to get your name/brand out there and have the chance to upsell. Essentially, a freemium model.
