I can write a 60,000-word book in 30 days.
The secret?
Math (and a simple 3-step process).
First, the numbers.
Here's how to break down your 60,000-word book:
• 10 chapters at 5,000 words each
• Each chapter has 5 to 7 sub-questions
• These sections are then only 700 to 1,000 words long
Each section is the length of a blog post or a newsletter.
So your book is a series of shorter posts bolted together.
This should help take some pressure off writing a “60,000-word book.“
Instead, take it in chunks.
Then add in an introduction and conclusion, and you can easily hit 60,000 words.
Second, the process.
(This works even if you've never written a book before.)
Here are 3 steps to write a 5,000-word chapter in 90 minutes:
Before you start writing, you need to have two items in place:
1. Your title
2. Your outline
If you don't have these, you don't know what you're writing about.
Step 1: Prep the Chapter on the page
1. Write out the overarching question for the chapter
2. List out the sub-questions/topics for the question
With the chapter prepped, writing becomes a fill-in-the-blanks exercise (and far less intimidating).
Step 2: Expand each sub-question/topic
For each of these, ask yourself:
“What does the reader need to understand about the sub-question and overarching chapter question?“
The best way to think about this?
Use the 10 magical ways of expansion.
Any piece of writing can be expanded in 10 ways:
• Tips
• Stats
• Steps
• Lessons
• Benefits
• Reasons
• Mistakes
• Examples
• Questions
• Personal Stories
Mix and match these to answer the sub-questions and overarching question of the chapter for the reader.
Step 3: Make a round of edits
Don't get bogged down in this.
Some editing pointers:
• Look out for repetition
• Edit for flow and readability
• Do a final read-through out loud to pick up any clunky parts
That's it—you just wrote a 5,000-word chapter in 90 minutes.
That's it!
📌 My first took me 4 years to write (before I learned this framework).
Since then, I've written 10+ books.
And I earned a lucrative living while doing it.
How?
By ghostwriting.
It's how I got paid to write, learn, and network with industry leaders.
