In this episode of Don’t Write That Book, AJ and Mike have a candid conversation about how to decide if your next book is the right one to write, or if it’s something else. AJ admits she has three potential books and is unsure of which to pursue. Mike offers a filtration method the two use in writing their books: What does the reader need next? Listen to their impromptu discussion about the struggle many authors of multiple books face.
“As authors of books meant to help the public, our job is not to defeat people with ill intent or who are self-serving. Our goal is to elbow them out. And I think the good guy, that’s New Jersey talk, the good author needs to step up and elbow them out. “
—Mike Michalowicz
“But my big issue with all of that was it just felt like self-help was all rooted in ‘There’s something wrong with you that you have to fix.’ And I have the opposite view. I don’t think they’ve done anything wrong. I just think that they’ve been misinformed.”
—AJ Harper
