The Accidental Publisher
How I Became a 7-Time Self-Published Author Without Writing a Single Word—And How You Can Too

Most people dream of writing a book… and then never do. They get stuck thinking they’re not “writers,” that it’s too hard, takes too long, or won’t be good enough. The Accidental Publisher shatters that myth once and for all.

In this inspiring and practical guide, Bill Durand—five-time self-published author, coach, and creator of the Book Builder Pro Accelerator—reveals how he became a published author by accident… without typing a single page himself.
