Nobody wants an average book

There is an old, tired myth of a lone genius working away in a cabin, hunched over a keyboard in service of the next Great Gatsby This luminary eventually emerges from the shadows with their magnum opus, congratulated by the world.

The problem is this almost never happens. The inspiration doesn't come, the book isn’t made, and no one is changed as a result. This is because writing good books is a group effort; and when you ignore this simple fact, you’re far more likely to become the next Unabomber than a brand-new Hemingway.

Yeah, we said it.

Writing books is hard, and almost everyone who sets out to do it fails. Of those that succeed, what they often produce is forgettable at best. Unfortunately, those brilliant people whose words we need the most are usually the ones who never seem to share them.

Maybe that’s you. (It doesn't have to be.)
