Dan Good · Write a Good Book

We had a meaningful book meetup on June 4. You can catch up by watching the video here.

Here are the key takeaways.

The scourge of fake quotes being used: 00:00-15:00

It’s common for authors to unknowingly include phony quotes within their books. But doing so could damage your credibility and annoy your readers.

The joys and struggles of writing: 20:00-23:00

Writing is wonderful. But it’s also hard.

Keeping the reader in mind: 23:00-28:00

It’s so important to write with your reader in mind! Your book will be a lot more engaging because of it. Being a reader can make you a better writer, and vice versa.

Fiction and nonfiction: 37:00-45:00

We’re all drawn in by different types of writing. Find what you enjoy!

Mark your calendars! The next book meetup is scheduled for next Thursday, June 18.
