If I was gonna write a pure self-help book it would be you know ten pages long and say ten pages that cut through the 300,000 other books. Instead of expanding it just make it paper thin and be like here it is here's everything when everyone put your other books back. You're rewarded for conciseness and clarity rather than hey I had a book to 400 300 pages to hit a award count so I could get this advanceYou need to be very careful about why the reader wrote the book or why the writer wrote the book because they have a message that they need to get out but are not aligned with the reader.
