The Minimalist Author Path
Why I Publish Simple Books
We live in a world addicted to complexity. Our culture idolizes big numbers, long books, massive launches, and sprawling projects. But I’ve chosen a different path.
I call it The Minimalist Author’s Path.
It’s not a gimmick. It’s not a shortcut. It’s a philosophy — and a quiet rebellion against the belief that “more” is the only measure of success.
I publish simple books on purpose. And if you’re a writer, creator, or thinker trying to cut through the noise, I hope this resonates with you.
The Lie of Bigger Is Better
In the world of publishing, there’s an unspoken belief: that longer books are more valuable. That a “real” author writes 80,000-word masterpieces and seeks validation through bestseller lists, six-figure deals, and viral launches.
I used to believe that too.
When I first started self-publishing, I tried to build things that looked impressive. I aimed for complexity: longer books, more features, intricate funnels. But the more I did, the more I drifted from why I started writing in the first place.
None of it felt sustainable. And it certainly didn’t feel meaningful.
