Show HN: The raw truth about self-publishing first technical book (newsletter.fractionalarchitect.io)
1 points by meaboutsoftware 523 days ago
I finally wrote about my experience of self-publishing a software architecture book. It took 850 hours, two mental breakdowns, and taught me a lot about what really happens when you write a tech book.

I wrote about everything:

- Why I picked self-publishing - How I set the price - What worked and what didn't - Real numbers and time spent - The whole process from start to finish

If you are thinking about writing a book, this might help you avoid some of my mistakes. Feel free to ask questions here, I will try to answer all.
