One of the most common questions we get at Scribe is: “How do I get my book on a bestseller list?” 

Our standard answer: “You’d be better off by totally ignoring them.”  

We encourage our authors not to chase bestseller lists, but instead focus on the business and personal goals for their book. This confuses them initially (Having a bestselling book doesn’t get me more business?), but once we explain the process and tradeoffs to them, the overwhelming majority discard it and focus more on the goals that are far more impactful to them.  

In this episode, 4-time #1 New York Times bestselling author, Tucker Max, will cover everything you need to know about bestseller lists.

Think about your favorite authors—the ones whose books deeply affected your life. Do you know what all of them had in common?

None of them used special book writing software to write their book.

Yet, this is where many beginning and amateur writers start. They spend so much time searching for the “perfect” book writing software (among other tools) that will magically make their writing better.

Let me spare you time and money: software is not a relevant consideration for writing a great book.

If you’re stuck on finding the “perfect” software, something else is holding you back.
