The Concept of a Tiny Book

Writing a tiny book is an accessible goal for aspiring authors, and it doesn't require extensive writing experience. The speaker encourages writers to embrace the idea that a smaller book, such as one with around 13,000 words, can still deliver impactful messages and stories. For reference, a master's dissertation is typically longer than this tiny book, demonstrating that brevity doesn't compromise quality. This approach invites more people to consider the possibility of sharing their thoughts and expertise through writing without feeling overwhelmed by the idea of producing a lengthy manuscript.
