Publisher's summary

“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 writer's 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.

Critic reviews

"His first course that I purchased for $60 got me into the industry. I listened to it and wrote everything down point by point and did as much as I could. I made $8,000 on one site alone." (Roger Gauthier, CEO, Tri-Vision Global, Inc.)

Good lil' book

Generally I have a dislike for the maelstrom of short ebooks and audiobooks self-published by wanna-be "experts". This isn't one of those cases.

This one's useful and information-packed. Concrete tips on beginning and structuring your how-to ebooks.

Take it or leave it

I would imagine this would be a good book for someone who's a total newbie. For someone who has any idea about writing or possibly has already started their manuscript, I'd say this was a hard pass as there is nothing new you will learn

I believe I can do it

Listening to the book and taking notes was special. He gave me areas to look I did not think about. I can do this. May take me longer than a weekend.

This was encouraging & Informative

I liked how simple this author made this concept. I was needing some extra encouragement to do what’s on my heart and this really helped. I liked how short, to the point & practical this book was.

Good information.

My only issue with this book was the mention of Napoleon Hill. It's said that he made a lot of the "Grow rich..." book up. Other than that, this information was easy to understand and put into practice. I would recommend this to anyone interested in writting. Now find it within yourself to get started this weekend. Good luck.
