    About this audiobook

    “Who Else Wants To Write a Book This Weekend?”

    It's easier than you think!

    Best-selling author Vic Johnson actually wrote this book in a weekend to prove how easy it is. And he gives you step-by-step detail of everything he did, including the resources he uses to turn out content-rich books in no time at all.

    How To Write a Book This Weekend is a perfect strategy for first-time book writers who have been discouraged by the thought of pounding out words for months at a time.

    Inside these pages you'll learn:

    * Where to find idea “factories” that allow you to “crowdsource” the hottest trending topics.

    * The little-known secrets used by a 19th century Russian immigrant to sell over 100 million print books.

    * The “can't fail” method of choosing a title that makes your book irresistible to prospective buyers.

    * A “backdoor” Google code that will instantly reveal a treasure trove of valuable research material for your book.

    * The magic method that eliminates writers block and produces top quality content in a fraction of the time of other methods.

    Please note: This method has had proven success on many occasions when applied to non-fiction books. It may or may not be useful for fiction writers.

      Absolute rubbish. "How to write a book this weekend" can be summed up in a couple of sentences - "you don't. You ramble to a voice recorder for a weekend, then you have to spend weeks transcribing, editing and polishing it. But the audio recording is the hard part, honest!"

      I have dozens of these "weekend books" - rough first or audio drafts that I did in one weekend or even in a single day. They're not books, and for all Vic Johnson's talk about the importance of evergreen books and adding something of value to your reader's lives, this isn't a book either. It's a good title and a waste of time.
