If I ever get round to writing a non fiction book in 24 hours this would be a good guide. Of course it is only the first draft of a book that you write in 24 hours, but the book is useful for that, giving ideas to get it done quickly.

How to Write a Nonfiction Book in 24 Hours by Dale L. Roberts is remarkable in the fact that it was produced over the course of a single day, proving that Roberts does, in fact, practice what he preaches. I understand that this is part of a series dedicated to self-publishing, and there are certainly many strong takeaways contained in these pages.

Self-publishing is an avenue that I never really gave much thought to, though Dale makes a compelling case by outlining the numerous advantages of cost benefit and expediency, to name only a few. I was intrigued, too, by Dale's tips on the editing process, and by the value of ARCs and beta readers. I will certainly rely on his expertise should I ever take the leap into self-publishing. 3.5 stars
