I Wrote A 30,000 Word Book in 30 Days At The Age Of 15
You can do the same in less time & better
In this article, I’m going to give you my best tips on how to finish writing your book. But first, some personal background.
I wrote my book at the age of fifteen. I didn’t make up my mind to write a book all of a sudden — it was a necessity. I wanted to get into a fancy high school, and I didn’t have the grades to make it. But that high school was known to accept ‘exemplary’ kids who’d created their own fashion lines, businesses, etc.
My mom told me I wouldn’t get in — unless I wrote a book. That would help my odds a lot. So I buckled down and wrote it in 30 days, my parents hired an editor, paid for it to be self-published, and we had a book signing at a friend’s bookstore where all 200+ copies were sold and recouped the printing costs.
After sending a copy of the book to the school, I got in. You can Google my name for all the embarrassing book signing pictures and cringy fifteen-year-old me quotes, but I won’t put them here for obvious reasons. You can, however, read a free version of my book on Medium.
So what can you learn from my experience?
