Michalowicz walks through his publishing timeline after finishing a manuscript in December 2022. The book won't release until 2024 because of rounds of proofreading, copy-editing, and proofs. He spent two and a half years writing and editing, treating the slow process as necessary to get it right.
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 see 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.
