Tucker Max - The Scribe Method: The Best Way to Write and Publish Your Non-Fiction Book

I know why you want to write a book.

Maybe not literally, of course.

Im going to make an educated guess about why you want to write a book.

If Im correct in my guessit means this is the perfect book for you.

If Im wrong in my guessthen I just saved you a lot of time. You can skip this book; its not right for you.

Heres my guess. See if it resonates:

You had a problem.

It was probably a difficult problem for you. You suffered because of it.

This problem might have even defined you as a personat least for a while. You spent time, energy, and effort on it, and maybe even dedicated your career to solving it.

Finally, after a lot of struggle and work, you solved your problem. You found a solution, and you made your life better.

But you didnt just find the solution to this problem, you mastered it. Youre great at implementing this solution. Yes, there are times you doubt yourselflike we all dobut part of you is even a little proud of yourself and what youve accomplished. You know some things (at least about this problem).

Although youve never written a book before, you keep coming back to the idea of writing one, for two main reasons:

1. You want to share your hard - earned knowledge to help people solve the same problem you used to have. You want to give this wisdom back to others, so it can impact them. Basically, you want to help people through your book.
2. You want some recognition for what you did. I am not implying that recognition is badquite the opposite. It is natural and right to want your peers and family and friends to know the real you and see what youve done. And its normal to hope this recognition will actually help you in some way as well, probably in your career (and maybe even in your personal life, too).

Id bet youve been thinking about writing a book for a while. Youve probably had people saying, you should write a book to you long before now.

But you didnt acknowledge it, because the next stepwriting the bookwas too scary.

After all, you dont know where to start, or how to structure your book, or if your book idea is good enough, or if you have enough to say, or if anyone will care once you write it.

And theres the worst fear of all, the one you dont want to talk about, but always lingers.

What if you write a bad book?

You might have even started writing the book at some point, but you stopped. You probably had some good momentum at first, and found it really rewarding to get your ideas out of your head. You thought about how people would receive the book, maybe pictured the eventual praise in your future.

But you hit an obstacle, and it stalled you. It brought up all your self - doubt and anxiety, and without a plan to get past that obstacle (or obstacles), you lost your momentum, and then you stopped.

Its probably frustrating that you arent writing your book. You see other peoplesome of them who dont even know as much as you about your subjectwho did write their books, who have credibility and authority in their field, who are getting increased visibility, who have more clients and more opportunities, all from their book.

And most of all, you see the impact their books have on people. And you know you can have that same impactif you could get your book done. Your book might not save the world, but it can change some peoples lives for the betterif only you could get it to them.

Does this sound familiar?

Does it describe you?

If so, this is the perfect book for you .

It was written specifically for people just like you, as you embark on your journey to writing and publishing your book.

If you follow the steps, it will get you there.

If this doesnt describe you, then like I said, this book probably isnt right for you, and you can put it down and move on to another book that is better suited for you (if this story has nothing to do with you, yet youve already paid for it, then email me directly and I will give you your money back: . Im totally serious).

Lets say you read this book, you follow the instructions, you put in the work, you conquer your fears, you write a book you are proud of, and you get it published.

What happens when you actually finish the book ?

As much as Id love to tell you that you sell a million copies and hit every bestseller list and become famouswe both know thats a fantasy.

Yes, it happens for a small number of people, but so does winning the lottery. You cant plan on it or expect it.

But thats OK, because the reality of what actually happens is pretty cool. I know; Ive seen it happen to literally thousands of authors. It usually works something like this:

You start to get it when you see the pre - order page on Amazon. Your name, your book, on Amazon, next to all the other books and authors you respect and look up to.

You start to get impatient, you begin to hopeand then finally, you get the first copy in the mail.

Its not like holding your new baby, but damn, it feels great.

You created this. Its a part of who you are. Its permanent. Its out in the world. Its a record of what you know, what value you have given to others, what youve left behind in the world, and the impact youve made. Its proof of what you did to make the world better.

First, your friends and family see it. They get excited, they praise you, they tell you how proud they are. You might hate to admit it, but even now your parents (and familys) praise means way more than you expected that it would. And in some cases, they finally understand what it is you do, and why it matters.

Then your coworkers, peers, and professional network see it. And they get almost as excited as your friends and family. And that praise is also really cool, and you enjoy it far more than you anticipated.

Then all of a suddenpeople start talking to you about the book. About your ideas. People who read the book and want to discuss it with you, because youre the author.

Then, people start to introduce you as author. Yeah, you are one, but stillit feels weird.

Then you start to get reviews, posted onlinefrom people you dont even know. About your book. And they really like it, and they talk about how much of an impact it made on their life.

Then, clients start coming to youbecause of your book. They already know who you are, how you work, and what you believe. And you dont need to sell them anymore. They sign because they were so impressed with the book, they already know they want to work with you.

Then, you get requests to speak. Some of them even want to pay you. And you go speak, and people look at you differently. They listen when you talk, they applaud when you are done, and they want to talk to you afterward.

Then, media inquiries. You do a few podcasts. The host wants to talk to you about the ideas in your book. People talk to you about a podcast they heard you on, or a blog post they read about you in.

Then, all kinds of new opportunities come in that you honestly never would have guessed. Things that werent even on your radar before the book are now coming to you. Requests for consulting, for proposals, job offersall kinds of things you didnt even realize were out there.

And of course, more and more clients.

Then, when it settles down and you have reached a new level that has become normal to you, youre used to being called an author and you realize somethingyou see yourself differently.
