Don't Write That Book

Questions to ask before you start writing.

You have a technical book idea. Maybe it’s been living in a notes app for six months. Maybe you’ve already written the first chapter. Stop what you’re doing and answer one question honestly: is a book the right format for this idea, or have you just convinced yourself it is?

Tammy Coron has spent more than two decades writing, editing, and publishing technical books. And she’s seen too many people pour a year of their life into a book that should have been a blog series, a workshop, or a really good README.

Tammy knows that the the format isn’t the prize. Making the right choice before you commit is.

Join us for this free, 45-minute conversation to learn how to spot the differences and set off on the right path, too.

Know what makes a technical book last.

The books people still recommend a decade later teach reasoning that transfers across jobs, stacks, and eras. They don't document tools. They build judgment. What would it take for your idea to do that?

Find the right format before you're too far in.

A blog series, a workshop, or a video tutorial might serve your material better than a book and cost you a fraction of the time. Tammy will walk you through the questions that reveal which format fits your idea before the answer gets expensive.

Walk away with a framework you'll use again.

You'll leave with a practical set of questions you can apply to any technical book concept and a clear way to decide whether to write it, shelve it, or reshape it into something that reaches the people you're trying to help.

What Sets This Session Apart?

Rather than a lecture, a one-way webinar, or a sales pitch, this event is a conversation. You will be on audio and video with other attendees, and you’ll be able to ask Tammy your specific questions — about your idea, your timeline, your situation.

Tammy has written the books, edited the manuscripts, and run the press. Finding someone with all three perspectives in the same room is rare. So bring your ideas and come ready to talk.
