An upcoming short series on how to finish and publish your book–without tech overwhelm
Over the past few months, Think Human has explored a handful of ideas circling a deeper question: how do I create something real in an age of noise, speed, and disposability?
Right now, I want to focus on one concrete, painful problem I know well:
How do you finish and publish a book—without getting overwhelmed by apps, tutorials, or confusing advice?
I’ve lost weeks (months, years) to complex, expensive software, vague articles, and tutorial rabbit holes. I’ve overthought formats and platforms. I’ve felt stuck right at the finish line, unsure how to move forward without spending money or learning things I didn’t want to learn.
Eventually, I found a simpler way—a plain text-based publishing workflow that helped me finish and publish with fewer moving parts and less stress.
In this short series, I’ll share what I’ve learned, step by step.
Who is this is for?
If you are:
Someone who’s written a draft (or almost a draft), but don’t know what comes next
Overwhelmed by publishing tools, advice, or terminology
Someone who just wants to write and share their ideas and work—without becoming a tech expert or a personal brand
then it’s for you.
What I’ll cover
The minimum tools you actually need to publish
A simple, distraction-free writing and formatting workflow—that costs nothing
How to prepare your book for Amazon, print, PDF, or other publishing services
How to keep full control of your writing—no subscriptions, no lock-in, no depending on the ‘cloud’.
If that sounds useful, stay tuned.
And if it’s not your thing, that’s okay too—the heart of Think Human will still be in every post: making things, clearly and calmly, with tools that serve you—not the other way around.
Thanks for being here.
There is no delight in owning anything unshared.
