How to Write a Book Without Writing a Word (Ghostwriter-Free)

So you want to be a published author and write a book, but you don’t want to write. Maybe you have writer’s block, maybe you have carpal tunnel.

Worry not, any excuse will do, because with today’s technology, you don’t need to type a word.

Now, I’m not talking about the easy road of hiring a ghostwriter or personal assistant. Nah, you’re going to have to put a little effort in here. After all, you want the book to be by you. It will be.

Let’s get started with your first draft.

I would suggest brainstorming three to five bullet-point ideas to outline your book’s concept. Honestly, if you’re like me, you can easily do this brainstorming in your head.

Then, you are going to dictate your stream-of-consciousness thoughts for each bullet-point.

Next, you will take that dictation and translate it from speech to text (YouTube actually does this automatically with video uploads).

Theoretically, you could have a lengthy first draft of a book written in a day using this method (assuming you can talk for hours on end).

Done! Yay! Wasn’t that easy?

Now, to add the finishing touches with proper grammar and punctuation, you could grab an editor or use an online AI tool to structure sentences in a cohesive manner. I’ve seen some incredible automated essay tools that will structure everything to perfection.

The fact that we just created an entire book draft using audio and transcription is just mind-blowing. Where will book creation and publishing be in ten years?
