Join us for a pre-festive Repod in which Vicky and Joe discuss: how long will it take? (To write a book, of course.) The short answer: that depends on you, your time, the type of book you’re writing, and a bunch of other stuff. In other words: dunno. The long answer: well, listen in and find out!

Key Takeaways:

[6:25 ] Joe fell through the ceiling at the Dingle! Ouch!

[10:50 ] How long will it take to write a nonfiction book? 

[13:00 ] If you write every day…well Vicky did some math calculations for you! 

[17:15 ] Where do you start when it comes to writing your book?

[19:00 ] If you want to write the best possible book in the world, you need to be able to know what the opposition’s points are.
