What it really takes to publish your first book? LIVE with Kiky, a first-time author ✍️

Ever dreamed of publishing your own book, but keep putting it off?

In this Live session, I chat with

Kiky SHANNON

, a first-time author who finally made his dream of writing a book a reality—after 15 years of procrastination.

This is not advice from someone with 20 books under their belt. It’s a real, honest look at what it takes to go from “I want to write a book” to actually publishing one.

Kiky’s book launch event

What to expect

We cover:

• What finally pushed Kiky to start writing

• How he stayed consistent and finished the book in just over 4 months

• Why a community challenge helped him break the inertia

• How he balanced learning the publishing process while writing

• What “consistency” really looks like (it’s not what you think)

• How he used (and didn’t use) AI in the process

If you’re sitting on an unwritten book idea, this is the push you might need.

These are the exact questions that I asked in the Live:

1. “What made you finally say, ‘It’s time to write this book’? Was there a specific moment or spark?”

2. “What are your secrets to help you stay consistent and finish the book?”

3. “What was the hardest part about writing the book and how did you overcome it?”

4. “If you had to go back and do one thing differently in the book-writing or publishing process, what would it be?”

5. “Now that the book is out, what’s something unexpected that’s happened?”

Thank you
