Creator News Live: Discussing the latest tools, tips, and tactics with industry experts, innovators, creators, and storytellers · How to Write and Actually Ship Your First Book (No Publisher) · 7 Aug 2026 podcast

you know submitting it i remember back in the day it was everybody was submitting it to these big publishing houses and getting all these rejection letters back and i'm like there's all these famous authors who've gotten like 50 rejection letters and that was that one thing i mean even lou talks about it like he sent his first book off and nobody would do it except for this small little publishing house and he's forever grateful to them but you had 17 chapters

three appendices and they're amazing and index.

And like before you wrote everything, you mentioned brain dumping the table of contents.

Like how did you keep that scope narrow?

One of the things that I know a lot of people have problems with and I have the same problem too, is like the scope keeps growing.

You know, it's like, oh my gosh, this is going to be a tome.

Like it's going to be huge if I keep going.

How did you know where it was done?

And it was like, okay, I've got all the chapters done.

Now I just need to, you know, kind of

finish it.

How do you stop scope creep, I guess?

Yeah, I love that.

Knowing that you don't have to put it all in one big book.

Just like, okay, we'll talk about this later.

And you even mentioned it in your book.

You're just like, this will be for another book, which kind of gives you a little kick in the rear.

You have to write another one now, right?

So that's a perfect segue because I actually used AI to do something that is part of the show now, but you can go to jeffc.com forward slash cheat sheet, and you'll have a cheat sheet of all the stuff that we talked about today, next steps, all sorts of stuff.

And there is no way I'd be able to make this happen without AI.
