About this ebook
Sean Platt spent over a decade trying to learn dictation. He failed every time — frustrated, deflated, and convinced he just wasn't built for it.
Then he figured out the trick. And now he writes books with his mouth.
Sean, co-author of Write. Publish. Repeat. and Yesterday's Gone, with millions of words published, finally cracked the code on dictation and put everything he learned into one short, practical book. Talk Your Book is the result: a fast, no-BS guide to making dictation actually work for you.
If you've tried to learn dictation and given up, or read the books on it and still couldn't make it stick, this is for you.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
Break the start-stop cycle that makes most authors quit dictation in the first week
Use the 15-minute method to push past the initial frustration and make dictation a permanent tool
Rewire your storytelling brain to access your voice through your voice

About the author
Sean Platt has always been an entrepreneur, but stories were the business he was born to build.
When his wife bought him a laptop for his birthday in 2007, he dropped everything to write fiction.
After a short stint as creative director at a marketing agency — where he learned the kind of copywriting that could turn cliffhangers into an art — Sean wrote hundreds of novels (including international bestsellers), penned Hollywood scripts, and founded Sterling & Stone, an IP incubator where more than two dozen writers turn wild ideas into world-changing stories.
Originally from Long Beach, California, Sean now lives in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Cindy, and their dog, Fisher — both of whom remind him that real life makes the best stories.
