I'm writing a book about Building in Public. I'll write it… in public!
It will be an actionable and pragmatic book about building a business by sharing your journey. The journey of the book will happen here on Twitter.
Here is what's in it for you:🧵👇

On the landing page, you'll find the very first outline of the book. It contains all the topics I came up with so far. If you think I should answer another question, please tell me about it! Send a DM, email, release a messenger pigeon. Just let me know!

Once the outline is solid, I'll get writing/researching/condensing. The result of this will be the first draft. Right when it's done, I will share it with my Alpha Reader audience. You can sign up to be an Alpha Reader on the landing page, too.

One huge part of the book will be case studies — the stories of people building in public right now — and what can be learned from them. If you have been following any particular founders and products, please tell me about them and why their journey inspires you.

I'll work with my favorite illustrators to turn this book into a visually pleasing experience. I've already reached out to my dream designers, but if you know someone I should talk to, let me know.

I will also attempt to add some unique flavor by creating my own illustrations. Stuff like this. Learning in Public, am I right?

This book will be an actionable book. No fluff, no "inspiring prose", just pragmatic frameworks, advice, and guidance. If you've read The Embedded Entrepreneur, you know what kind of book this will be. A manual, a compendium, and a motivation engine.

Since we're writing this book in public together, I will give a shoutout to anyone who contributed to Build in Public in the book's acknowledgment section. Collective work, collective credit.

So let's build this.
Together. In public!
