I've one book under my belt, Inside ISAPI.
A couple of high points:
It took literally every free moment I had for 6 months. Every evening, all evening, after I got home from work. Every weekend. And technology goes stale so quickly, your book probably won't have a very long lifespan, so you'll be lucky to get very much money out of it. I probably earned much less than $1/hr if I could figure out all the time spent.
On the other hand, it's one of the best resume builders you can imagine. Going into a potential employer with your book under your arm is worth quite a bit.
- reluctantauthor 15y agoThanks for the response. It's really helpful. I'm not really that worried about the money, but it sounds like I do have to consider what my free time is worth to me. Did you write your book solo or with a co-author?
- CWuestefeld 15y agoIt was with two co-authors. Luckily, we were all coworkers, and friends at that. If you're going into this with someone else, be sure that (a) you can work with them, and (b) you trust them to take the project to completion, so your work isn't wasted.
