In this brief author vlog, the speaker wakes at 5:30 am and reflects on the lengthy journey of bringing a book to market. The manuscript was completed around December 30 2022 and has since undergone multiple editorial stages—proofreads, first and second passes, copy edits, and now final proof. Despite the extensive work spanning roughly two and a half years, the book’s release is slated for 2024, underscoring the slow but necessary nature of publishing. The speaker emphasizes that meticulous editing is essential for a perfect book and hopes the finished work will change readers’ lives.

Chapters

It's about 5:30 in the morning, and this is when I typically get up. So as you can see, it's still dark outside. Yeah, probably just seeing a reflection. And I finished this manuscript as of December 30th or thereabouts. It was before the year ended of 2022 when I submitted it and was done. And it goes through all the iterations then, so proofreads, There's a first pass, second pass, copy edits, and so forth. Now it's at the final proof, and that's what I'm doing now. And the book still won't come out until 2024. It's just— this is the process to making a book. Part of it is just the machinations, the slowness of publishing, but the other part is it's necessary. You got to get the book perfect. So 2 and a half years of writing and editing and a lifetime of effort. I hope it changes your life.
