Frequent feedback that http://meaningness.com is unnavigable and screens are bad. “Put it on paper!”
If it were ever finished, it would be much too big. So: a
series.
What comes first? How about an overview?
Covering the conceptual framework and ~10 most common stances.

A paperback should be ~40-80k words. The introductory conceptual framework sections (the only finished part of the book) sum to 23k words currently (~70pp). The first stance chapter, on eternalism, is 43k words currently (~130pp), and is mostly IOUs.

So an “abridged edition” or concise overview couldn’t start from the existing text & boil out unnecessary details. I’d have write a book-length thing starting from scratch (in terms of wording, rather than ideas). Several months of full-time work. Is that the best use of time?

If it reached a much larger audience than http://meaningness.com , then yes! Especially if it motivated readers to go deeper into the details, wherever and as they become available. Most pages of http://meaningness.com get a few thousand readers; some, a few tens of thousands.

Could a paperback introduction to Meaningness reach tens of thousands of readers?
I have no idea; if anyone with expertise in commercial publishing has opinions, I’d love to hear!4 replies 0 retweets 19 likesShow this thread -
Replying to @Meaningness
I can pretty much guarantee 10k readers. Beyond that, it would have to start reaching outside it’s niche. So, maybe.
