About this listen
Have you ever wanted to write a book? Have you started to write your book, but weren't able to finish it? Are you ready to become a published author?
Discover inside secrets to writing and publishing a book fast. It doesn't matter if you want to write a novel or a non-fiction book: Garrett Pierson's tools and strategies will guide you step by step.
There are many mind-boggling and complicated ways of writing a book at our disposal. This is not one of those. In fact, this book is perfect for someone who wants a simple, flexible, and streamlined approach to start, write, and complete a book fast. This is not a get rich quick book, nor is it a book that guarantees your success. That is up to you. I can't write your book for you.
This book is for those of us who want to write regardless of what others say about our ability to write. It is for those of us who want a step-by-step guide to the process and strategies to finishing a book. The book is specially formulated to be a tool to support your success. If you want to avoid mistakes and prevent costly pitfalls, whether those pitfalls be measured in time and/or money wasted, then this book is for you. This book is all about achieving real and practical writing results.
You will only become a writer/author through the act of writing. This is your golden opportunity to stop talking about writing a book and actually do it. Only when your book is finished will you truly understand the authority and respect authorship demands and how the title of "author" can open up new channels of achievement and profit. You might find this book to be somewhat unconventional. There may be established writers who disagree with my writing style.
That is to be expected since I do not come from the traditional writing world. You will soon learn my story and though I was an overall good student, I was a terrible English student. I know this might sound cliché, but if I can become an established writer, anyone can! More than most people, I understand your concerns, anxieties and questions when it comes to writing. I've been where you are and know how to overcome the roadblocks you undoubtedly will encounter.
That's why I wrote this book. To help guide you towards the finish line so that you can proudly hold your own book in your hands.
Here is what you can expect to learn while reading this book:
- All the right ingredients to get started
- Why you shouldn't start writing until you're ready
- Detailed strategies for organization and self-control
- A crash course in the basic writing process
- Rewarding yourself by shifting your mindset
- Clear steps to finishing your book fast and staying laser focused
- Traditional publishing vs. self-publishing and what is right for you
- How to become the authority in your market when your book is finished
- Plus much more!
Don't delay! You've waited long enough. Let's get started, you'll be glad you did!

Creative writing is any writing that goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary formal, journalistic, scholarly, or technological types of literature, usually characterized by the emphasis on narrative art, character development, and the use of literary conventions, or the different traditions of prose and poetry. Due to the lack of definition, writing such as feature stories can be considered as creative writing, even though they fall under journalism, because the content of the features focuses specifically on narrative and character development.

A stunning new approach to how individuals can not only change their lives for the better in the workplace, but also their lives away from the office, including (but not limited to) finding ways to improve one's working relationship with others, one's overall health, outlook on life, and so on. For example, why is it that 95% of all diet attempts fail? Why do New Year's Resolutions last no more than a few days? Why can't people with good intentions seem to make consistent and positive strides in the way they want to improve their careers, financial fitness, physical fitness, and so on?

Story structure is one of the most important concepts for a writer to understand - and ironically, one of the least frequently taught. In this book, New York Times best-selling author William Bernhardt explains the elements that make stories work, using examples spanning from Gilgamesh to The Hunger Games.

Words. We use them all the time, every day, mostly without giving them much thought at all. We take for granted that they’re here at our disposal whenever we need them. But if you’ve ever wished you could communicate more effectively, words are the place to start. It’s incumbent upon you to choose the best words to accomplish your goals, because how you choose to communicate influences—well, everything! The power of communication shapes our professional goals, our relationships, and our lives—so the words we choose to use carry a great deal of power.

Grammar! For many of us, the word triggers memories of finger-wagging schoolteachers, and of wrestling with the ambiguous and complicated rules of using formal language. But what is grammar? In fact, it's the integral basis of how we speak and write. As such, a refined awareness of grammar opens a world of possibilities for both your pleasure in the English language and your skill in using it, in both speech and the written word.

Encouragement
If you want to write a book of any kind this is a great book to guide you.
There is no fluff and filler here only great teaching and direction. It is a short listen which is good because you can listen over and over and make notes or simply commit the process of writing a book to memory.
This book is more about the process of writing and how to get your book written instead of just dreaming about doing it.

Surprisingly Useful
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. I've gone back and listened to it again, as well.
Any additional comments?
I am a professional writer of nonfiction, and have been thinking about writing a book, so this book was part of my research. I have to admit that I had a bit of an arrogant attitude going in... I wasn't convinced that the author could tell me something that I didn't already know. Turns out, he could. There is a lot of very basic information that I think beginning writers would benefit from. But I found that his advice on organizing and planning a book -- such as writing a core outline first, so that you have a definite handle on what your book is about and how you're going to write it -- rang true with me. In criticism, I would say that the author repeats himself occasionally throughout the book. But, then, maybe a beginning writer would benefit from the repetition. Finally, I liked the way he encouraged non-writers to try their hand at the craft, with helpful tips on how to get started. The author definitely has a positive attitude!

If you are wanting to write that novel you've been meaning to your whole life, this is a great place to start. Lots of information and a way to plan out your prose. If you need a great starter kit, this is it.
Narration is also excellent!

The Hands-down Best Guide for Aspiring Authors
What did you love best about How to Write a Book ASAP?
This book takes you through the process from start to finish, with excellent direction and practical advice. It filled in so many gaps that I missed when I self-published my first book. When writing a book, in my opinion, there comes a time when the book seems to take on its own life. How to Write a Book ASAP will help you recognize, deal with and appreciate that feeling when your book reaches that critical stage. It is an incredible part of the process.
What other book might you compare How to Write a Book ASAP to and why?
I have not seen another source that is this inclusive to comapre it to. This audiobook stands alone with straight to the point step by step processes that takes so much of the stress out of planning and executing writing a book.
What does Tom Underwood bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
He is able to keep your attention with intonations and well spoken english. I drive a great deal, so the audio version was my best option.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I have found this book extremely inspiring to get moving. What I really like is the planning processes that it spells out. This has helped me organize and layout my project with clearer focus, providing much more opportunity for creativity and less operational mind clutter.
Any additional comments?
I will recommend this book/audio recording to anyone endeavoring to write a book that I speak with. This will be the best (and hopefully first) investment you will make in not only your book, but in yourself.
