Writing a Book in Public with Jesse J. Anderson

If you're thinking about writing an authority building book, and I really hope you are, and you don't want to be counting pennies or checking your book sales all the time, you actually want a book that's going to change your life, I can tell you how. Just go to sevenfigurebooks.com. I'm not trying to capture your email or anything. You can just download this PDF that's going to tell you exactly how to turn an authority building book into revenue, speaking, authority, and no exaggeration, a whole new life. 

Jesse J. Anderson's journey to bookdom is unlike any other guest I've had on the show. 

For one, he's not launching a book to help build his business. 

Also, that book—Refocus: A Practical Guide to Adult ADHD—hasn't launched yet. In fact, he hasn't even finished writing it. 

Why, then, you may ask, would I have him on the show? 

Well, part of the reason is entirely selfish: he's writing a book in public and I want to write my next book in public so this is simply a shameless attempt to get some intel. 

If you're wondering what "writing a book in public" even means, you may want to go back to the Rob Fitzpatrick episode, where he breaks down the process he documents in his book, Write Useful Books. If you don't have that kind of time, I'll tell you: it's essentially getting feedback from your readers while you're writing the book. Jesse is in fact doing it using software Rob designed for that very process and, as of this recording, he's about three-quarters of the way done with writing. 

Jesse has also built up an impressive Twitter following by releasing Twitter threads of book chapters—a topic he dove into in detail. 

When he's not writing books in public, Jesse is a designer and developer who has made it his mission to help others better understand what ADHD really is.
