Chapters

They're just really honest about. Like look, you as the author, the CEO of the book, like you're going to front the cost, you're going to take the risk, but you also assume full control of this thing. You get to make all the final creative decisions, you get to craft the book the way you want to that serves your goals and your life and you're going to get the full upside which especially for a book like Naval, turned out to be life changing. Like that was a million plus copies, right. Sold. It's not some genius marketing hack that I have. Right. It's just like a good product that changes people's lives and a lot of people can get something from it and absolutely. It's just an experience like that. With Scribble, I immediately started writing my second book, which is the anthology of Biology and that came out like late 2023. But that was the book that I was publishing with Scribe also and got caught up in this bankruptcy.
