It’s about conquering fear with a series of steps to take, worksheets, journal prompts and power statements.

You could totally make the book content itself into a mini book that could point for the ebook.

I just wrote an E-Book and am thinking I will convert it to a mini book. I love this idea and plan to adopt it.

Thanks for all you’ve done to make the concept and production of mini-books understandable and accessible. I’ve been intimidated by the actual production part, but I just need to dig in and follow the KDP instructions even if my first attempt isn’t perfect.

The first book always feels the hardest. I have a complete resource that can help you with the entire process that I use and it can be super useful for you. I’m going to share the link, but no pressure!

Thank you so much. I have read your book THE MINIMALIST AUTHOR: SELF-PUBLISHING ON YOUR TERMS. Does the course provide more step-by-step detail for the publishing part?

It does. I walk through a lot of the do-it-yourself options and the hiring out options with links to resources and templates that can be used. It’s the more information resource to the actual work of writing a book whereas my book The Minimalist Author is the overview of writing a book and starting the business of self-publishing.

Draft to Digital require at least 68 pages to publish, what are your thoughts around that? And are these mainly for non fiction coaching self help type titles or is fiction also trending toward mini books?
