How To Write A Book - From Research to Writing to Editing to Publishing by Ryan Holiday

[@johnnovotny5074]

You should consider doing a "Master Class" on your writing and research process.

[@drcubix]

He's probably bigger than MasterClass now and he knows it

[@garangmayath3679]

I have watched hundreds of videos of book writing but this few minutes video has helped me more than those hundred 1 hour videos I watched. Thank you Ryan.

[@Firmansyah94]

"and then you start the next one".. What an ending... Thank You Master...

[@alisanhaji2396]

"And then you start the next one." This is how work gets done, and it's so great to hear it. My respect for you grows more and more as I read and listen to more of your work.

[@CameronKiesser]

THANK YOU! This is by far the BEST video on creating a book.

[@TheStrategicKeys]

Cameron Kiesser such a cool system!

[@Dannydowns1234]

Agreed

[@goldennguyen8271]

more videos like this please. really like it :) (y)

[@JordanMuzquiz]

The gravity with which he spoke when holding his book...touching.

[@franciscovirgilio7537]

So awesome, I wanna reach that level, but I ain't good in writing skill, what am I supposed to do?

[@david_oliveira71]

@@franciscovirgilio7537 Simple: write a lot; write often!

[@RiskTakerMediaLLC]

This video has so much value for me. Wow, thank you.

[@wazeaway71]

Where would one find that Note Card Organizer? Must find!

[@kandarabi927]

I reaaly want to know that as well. Please report back if you do find it. Thanks.

[@TheGentsBro]

​@@kandarabi927 Found it! Walmart and Amazon carry it. It's called Cropper Hopper Photo Case

[@JimmySolution]

One of the few videos that actually sumarizes in a sincere way the work and effort behind a book. Keep up the good work!

[@TheStrategicKeys]

Catalin M A it’s a super cool system!

[@AcademyOwners]

Love it. I'd watch more of your videos for sure

[@kartik0016]

Swallowed his own ego at 4:00 mark! :P

And then you start the next one! Thank you for this!

[@dianamarianavarro-botero8108]

Great video, thanks!!! I have a quick question. Where you you purchases your boxes to store your cards? I can say thanks for your well done job of writhing those books, you have help me so much with your books! For ever grateful!!!

[@smosh3069]

Hi Ryan, Question: In general, how long do you research a book? And, in comparison, how long did you research your FIRST book? Thank you for providing such useful details. Your videos have been very helpful.

[@richardlees5303]

Terrific REAL insights to your process. Hard work. Well done!! I own physical copies of your thinking and give as gifts.

[@HandbrakeBiscuit]

"...and then there's a typo, and it drives you insane" Ha..! I always suspected that LEGO was the Enemy... ;)

[@RoleWithADDvantage]

I need to know where you found that plastic storage organizer. I have searched everything I can think of and can't find anything close

[@ianmcrae4423]

Thanks Ryan for all the help that you are giving to the world!

[@TheZGALa]

Oh MAN! I am tickled to see that you are using a more polished version of what I have come up with as a method myself. You make me smile on many occasions, Ryan. Thank you. I have notecards everywhere though. Gonna put em in a box, put em in a box. lol

[@smtabatabaie]

I won Ego is the enemy in Kevin Rose's Instagram giveaway, that was the only giveaway I won in my life :) And I really really enjoyed it!

[@QuizmasterLaw]

This video had just about nothing regarding publishing. I'm not surprised, how can one expect a title not to be clickbait and hours of information in a five minute video.

[@AdamFiregate]

I wrote a successful ebook in Hungarian and always ready to learn more. Great tips. Thank you, Ryan!

Did you ever wonder where that kid who wouldn't shut the f#%@ up during the college party about what he was reading went even though no one asked?

[@Eddemnity]

Thanks. I'm doing the research now....stay tuned;)

[@DirectorGMVSWM]

You have the power to change the perspective. That’s huge.🙏🏼

[@knowworldfacts6807]

Hello Ryan. You should write a book having title "How to write a book".

Where can I buy the storage container you have in this video? It's exactly what I've been looking for!

Awesome! Loved your method, I was looking for something like this to organize my writing and thoughts. Cheers!

[@awareness68]

Could anyone tell me where one can find that index card holder… please? 🌺

[@wheelz1325]

Bro I went to pick up one of your books the other day they're expensive AF

[@Magicguy13]

Thanks for sharing the how-to, very valuable Ryan please create more how-to videos for example what is the copyright rule when you doing research on your topic and you want to share what others have said, what is the process for taking what you have learnt from others and then using that information in your own writing while being in integrity to copyright law thanks

[@roseperrone6110]

Fantastic video! I love the up-close footage of your library, the index cards, the Word document with corrections, and alternate book covers. And your books, of course :) Thank you!

[@panjack9849]

Where do you get a box like that for notecards? Have not seen one like that in any store

[@mugglescakesniffer3943]

No links to the storage box you used for your note cards 😥

[@MikeSansone]

Found this article by Ryan to be a helpful text with this video: medium.com/the-mission/here-with-2-years-of-exhausting-photographic-detail-is-how-to-write-a-book-fda1a6b40802 ... Using his book Perennial Seller as the book writing process he walks us through (including using the notecards and file). Thanks Ryan, for both this video and the article.

[@tkd42490]

can you tell us where you bought that case for all the notecards?

[@Gong14921]

Thanks a lot for the awesome content, Ryan! How would you go about applying this system but write a weekly blog post? It seems that this is a good system to do for a year while trying to write a book, but my goal is to write a weekly blog post

Thanks for this man. You sound like Robert Greene - same voice.

Very inspirational Ryan. I did 27 years in Army as a Scout Pilot across 5 combat tours. I opened a craft beer brewery, divorced, lost my business, my kids, found love, and continue wanting to share my story with others one day. Your work and the messages you share have truly motivated me. I would love to get your advice on getting started. Steve Irving

[@lmblmb3762]

I been looking for videos for years on this process this is the best video I ever watched...and the best most valuable advice I ever got...is there more...do you have a workshop on writing non fiction books?

[@holyfool3012]

Thats Robert Greene system

[@SaposaBear]

I've been receiving your book recommendation newsletter for several years. It's very helpful. Great to attach a face and a voice to your name finally.

Has anyone seen Ryan smile?

Your books The Obstacle is the Way, and Ego is the Enemy have helped me handle life and work. Thank you.

[@SamuelRedman]

This is just what I needed to hear. Great. Thank you! I will check out your books.

[@TheStrategicKeys]

This is amazing! I just found someone who talked about your commonplace book style, and I love it. I’m getting started on my first one now! Such a cool system.

[@otabekurazniyazov9145]

I like the ending

[@charlesedwardandrewlincoln8181]

Excellent advice!

[@AngieBrownLove]

Thank you so much for your helpful tips and knowledge... where did you find the index file?.... better yet, let me just scroll on over to office depot.com

[@ceafva]

I am interested in the index box as well. Can't find it anywhere...help, please.

[@AngieBrownLove]

Catherine Franz I'm still looking....

[@ceafva]

I think I found something at Michaels yesterday. I've ordered the 4x6 index cards and dividers. They are scheduled to arrive tomorrow from Amazon. I can't post a picture of the container here. It's a milky white somewhat clear container for 4x6 photos, double rows. It has individual containers for a pile of photos, or index cards. Each individual container can hold a stack (many one per chapter -- not sure yet). I also ordered the blue dividers with tabs from Amazon -- they may or may not fit inside the interior containers -- not sure yet. I was thinking the inside containers can stay there to hold the empty place and keep things from moving around while the used index cards with the dividers fit loosly outside those interior containers. On the front of the container there is a description, "large photo and craft keeper. Holds 4 in x 6 in photos" and "KP-XLPHO, 12 1/16 in x 15 in x 5 1/16 in". I like the idea of the little containers inside. I don't know how many index cards each will hold. I will need to try it. But they look like they could hold at least a 100 each. I like the idea of individual containers inside. This way when I'm working on a chapter or what I decide will hold a section, I can easily carry it to the library or my writing place without taking the whole container. They will be protected if I place them in my purse or backpack. Don't need to rubber band them in any way. The exterior container is fairly heavy. The handle is extra strong.

Sent you the pictures.

I wanna be a writer, but I don't know how can I begin, and I ain't good in writing skill, so what am I supposed to do?

[@mitchellharris9286]

Francisco - what kind of writer do you want to be? I would suggest reading as many books as possible in that category. For example, if you want to be a mystery novel writer, start reading mystery novels. Pay close attention to how the authors write, what words they use, how they connect sentences, etc. Do this for a while and you will be on your way to being a good writer :)

[@BrendanMetcalfe]

thanks for the tips!

Thank you for this ! I really need help with my first book. I’m staring with my outline. Would you recommend to find a mentor ?? I don’t know any authors In my area.

I used to be a author once.. editing is the hardest part..of all . No matter, how much you edit you will always gonna find a mistake.

you're awesome!

[@ysidrogalaviz]

thank you

[@nicolesteward4723]

Thank you for sharing your process. Very helpful to see I'm not the only one who keeps notes on notes on notes. :). And a good reminder that my book is already written...I just need to format it into a book.

[@sanahabeeb8070]

I needed to know the part where you find 30 stories for the 30 ideas. That was missing in my toolbox, I know now, so thank you Ryan. I’ll surely ping you when I’m done with my book.

[@danieljackson654]

"And then you start the next one." Yep. Thanks for uploading this. Inspirational.

[@dannyrosenberg4175]

I wish!!! 100,000 words into a scattered draft with repetitions. I don’t think it will ever be published or sell if it does

[@pedrorodriguez464]

WOW!!! WOW! This was an awesome video on practical tips on writing a book.

[@MightyMeemaw]

I found this video thanks to participating in the 30 day Stoic Challenge. I will be implementing your note card system starting today. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and experience!

[@ryanpenley1213]

A true professional! Thank you for all that you do. Stoicism helped me become sober and your writing helped me to become a steward of stoicism.

[@keionwitherspoon]

Hi Ryan! In what order should I read your books? Thanks in advance ☺

[@muyiwaosifuye]

I like your being real. Errors where you least expect show up.

I have been looking for some guide on how to write my first book and this video is very informative..Thank you.already making my flash cards

[@carlosmegana]

I know you're not fishing for this, but I genuinely think you're the best nonfiction writer of your generation. I'm constantly learning from you.

[@domingosadrianoafonso5127]

Mr. Ryan, thanks for your wise advises. I am in a process of writing a book your advises are so helpful.

[@FREEDOM2604]

those last few words hits so strong and goosebumps whom have similar desire

[@charlesdavis9937]

If using other bits of research from other authors, do you need to get permission or can you just add it to the acknowledgements?

[@JoRo-vl5gl]

Hi Ryan, where did you get the note card container that has the dividers from?

[@Ctesting]

Does anyone know what boxes Ryan is using to keep his note cards?

[@carloshenriquemaiarosario7448]

Mr Ryan thanks helps a lots , to try to organize , I’ve was doing in writing note & notes in note book in separate note books

Your method is cool.. thank you for sharing Ryan..👍

[@AlexanderLennox]

At the moment I do articles but the Editor suggested that I do a book. This will be my first attempt at a book.

[@mattbrodacki4980]

A true craftsman, thankyou. Most notably you point out the flaws you see like a trim carpenter who creates a masterpiece but sees his one error he’s still working to refine and points its out to those who would have never seen… I appreciate your writings even with the typos, I hope you take a moment to pause appreciate your own accomplishments!
