  This book is about the fastest way to write your book ...and the fastest ways to create great ideas, plan your book, research it, edit it, find an agent or publisher, and sell it. How long does it take to write a book? Barbara Cartland usually took two weeks. Stephen King once did it in seven days. Alexandre Dumas did it in three. Proof that writing a book need not take months or even years as is generally thought. In fact some of the books that we now regard as classics (such as Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 , Jack Kerouac's The Subterraneans or Walter Scott's Waverley novels) were written in just days, or a few weeks at most. Knowing that it can be done so quickly is one thing, but how did these writers - and many others - actually do it? What are their secrets? And how could modern technology make the process easier - and perhaps even faster - even if you hate using computers? You'll find all the answers in this highly readable, entertaining and inspiring book, which rediscovers the secrets of the speed-writing masters, updates them for today's writers and lifestyles, and adds hundreds of new hints, tips and techniques for good measure.
