Finally, a path to writing a short book! I read this after hearing about it on a podcast by Kendra Corman. A full length book can seem daunting. Both for you as an author and for your readers. I liked that the boo exemplified the process. If you’re thinking about becoming an author, consider a short book. A “shook” may be the path for you. I enjoyed reading and would recommend this to aspiring authors.

Decent content for a total newbie

Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2022

This book is a good read for someone who is completely new to the idea (I am not) and who needs some inspiration in how to move forward with a short book.

The content is stretched into a longer piece to fill a 100 page book (he explains this in the book) with a lot of repetition. This could easily be a blog post but it would not serve its purpose that way.

It is a quick read (an hour or so) and if you know nothing about how to move forward with your idea of writing a book, I do recommend it. His goal is to get you into one of his author programs. Both of which are offered at a decent investment level.

This is a great overview to publish your own short book to attract more clients to your business. It might be a bit salesy for some but I feel salesy is better than brokey:)

Short Book – Concise Nugget Read. Just the Essence of the Subject!

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024

I made two fortuitous discoveries this week. One was this book. The other was experimenting with getting a lengthy pdf to a group of friends who were traveling and making it easy to access as a ‘sort of’ ebook.

I do a lot of research on very heady administrative medical legal topics and need to share my composite findings with select colleagues. So I experimented with converting my otherwise plain-jane pdf to an epub format, mainly for ease of my colleagues’ accessing while traveling.

A little fiddling with fonts and formatting and it was done. I opened it in Kindle reader for Mac and it looked like a two-column ebook! Damn! And it contained the essence of an issue that I’d carefully researched and synthesized.
Well, that was an eye-opener! Of course, if it were to be a generally accessible ebook, I’d need to gussie it up with a cover, etc. But … for later.

Then, I happen to be on Amazon and was reviewing the usefulness of my Kindle Unlimited account ... “am I really using this in the way I should …? or am I just wasting $ having a bunch of fascinating ebooks laying around, frustrating me because of my poor allocation of time needed to read them! ?

And I once again I come across Mike Capuzzi’s Magic of Short Books in my saved books. And, I know, I’m a bit slow, but this time around it dawned on me “well, damn, you just published a rather nifty nugget of needed info for your top tier colleagues, and you made it available in epub format so they could fancily turn the pages while sitting in first class, what the hell was that but a free ebook!

And I dove into Mike’s crystalization of making short books, and had that same “well, damn!”

Now of course, I’ve got to go back into it and actually work through the steps systematically and get the compiled document done.

But hey, there’s a road map for this process and it’s not some 500 page tome from writers digest.

All said … if you’re thinking of making the leap (actually just a hop and a skip with this methodology) into getting a book out there, you’d do well to start here.

And maybe to get your appetite whetted (is that the correct phraseology?), experiment with exporting one of your pieces to epub format and sending it to your ebook reader (Kindle, or Apple’s Books for example) and actually see what it looks like.

Now, I’m talking to myself here as much as I’m talking to you, dear comment reader, stop hemming and hawing and get the damn thing done! The Magic of Short Books gives you the entire blueprint.

Love this book. Actually my second time reading it. I got more this time around. Awesome information in the perfect cadence and format. Mike knows what he is talking about. Time to stop writing this and to get started on my own SHOOK. See you on the virtual pages of Amazon soon Mike.

The longer I kept reading the better the advice got. Glad I took the time to read this book. I already published a short book but after reading this there are things I could have done better and will do for the next.

Great for any author who is thinking about writing a series of books!

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2023

I published my very first book, A Spiritual Alchemy Journey of Self-Exploration in March of 2023 after writing it in 35 days.

After about two weeks I had the itch to start on a series. I even knew what the topics would be! This book is a huge confirmation that I'm on the right path in writing my series. It is full of great tips to help you get started as well as remind you of steps needed for it all to come into fruition.

But the action is all up to you. Are you ready to take action on writing your short book?
