Not just readers in your region, either. You can connect with a network of readers that spans the globe in multiple languages. Publishing your book electronically is very easy and inexpensive, too. It can be as simple as just producing a PDF file. There are even classic books by people as famous as Jane Austen, Henry David Thoreau, and Charles Dickens that sometimes are so old that they are no longer copyrighted.

Then it\u2019s just a matter of sitting down and writing it. Many authors write 500 words a day, which is only two double-spaced pages. Do that for six months and you have a book of about 350 pages. But most popular books are half that size, so you could write three or four books a year. Or write 3,000 words a day, which is about 15 pages or one chapter.
