A Book Sprint brings together a group to produce a book in 3-5 days. There is no pre-production and the group is guided by a facilitator from zero to published book. The books produced are high quality content and are made available immediately at the end of the sprint via print-on-demand services and e-book formats.
Zero to book in 5 days. Seem impossible? Its not, its very possible, fun, and extremely rewarding.
There are three common reasons to do Book Sprints:
- Produce a book
Produce a beautiful printed book in less than 5 days. - Produce knowledge
Capture the knowledge of the Book Sprint participants and produce comprehensive materials that your need and others want. - Team building
Spending a week writing a book together is a tremendous team/community building process.
