Ready to get on board with dictation (finally)?
Like many tools that have come before it, dictation is a new and exciting opportunity to write better, faster, and smarter. But many writers still believe it's not for them. Perhaps they've tried it in the past and it hasn't worked. Or perhaps this new technology is confusing, expensive, or frustrating, and that's held them back from taking advantage of it.
If you're ready to take the next step and learn a new skill set that will give you a huge advantage over what other authors are doing today, listen to Dictate Your Book and start working through the challenges that are holding you back from reaping the benefits of dictation.
It includes:
- Why you need to get started with dictation, even if you tried it before and hated it
- All of Monica's best tips for making dictation work for you, whether you write fiction or nonfiction
- Every piece of equipment Monica recommends, plus half a dozen ways to test dictation before you buy
- Monica's full setup for her innovative Walk 'n Talks, which helped her hit 4,000+ words per hour
For authors who are ready to take their productivity to the next level, this short guide will help you get started!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definetly recommend "Dictate Your Book" to any writer who is looking to dramatically increase their word count. Monica takes you from start to finish. She lays it all out and lets you learn from her mistakes. She knows that as a newbie you can get discouraged easy with this new technology and addresses every issue you can think of to keep you on the right track. She also gives great recommendations on equipment and even suggests free software to get started.Everything you need to know

What did you love best about Dictate Your Book: How to Write Your Book Faster, Better, and Smarter?
Someone said once (I think it was James Altucher) that the best advice is always autobiographical and this book positively oozes with hours and hours spent with a microphone, perfecting a process. There is no pretense in any of it. The advice is NEVER theoretical. It always comes with the feeling it was hard earned...Who was your favorite character and why?
A strange question for this type of book. As there is only one character... this gives me time for a quick side bar: I read somewhere that if a reviewer mentions the Author of a book by name that you should discount the review...it suggests perhaps that the reviewer knows the author or something. I take issue to that because I think part of the reason that MONICA is so great at this productivity series is that she writes in a style that connects her to the reader...she becomes your bud...your mentor...she's been where you are and there is an ease in which she passes on the information that makes it easy to digest. At the end you feel like you are taking a class with a contemporary.Have you listened to any of Cindy Piller’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Cindy Piller is amazing as always. She has a voice that pleasing and clear...great breath control and diction. And let me tell you, narrating a book about dictation can't be an easy task. I've now completed the Monica SAGA with this book and feel like Cindy is so good at nailing the tone of Monica's writing and humor that I will more than likely find it odd the next time I hear Monica's real voice.What insight do you think you’ll apply from Dictate Your Book: How to Write Your Book Faster, Better, and Smarter?
Chapter Four: Dictation Tips and Tricks is really useful. I went from Zero to kinda sorta DOING the thing in a very short time. Check out sections C (commands) and D (Frustrations) for a lot of really simple, sage tips. And honestly, the "Answering to Toby" trick (even I though I'm sad to say I didn't get the Friends reference) is worth the price of the book alone. Seriously...anyone who's ever wanted to throw his/her smartphone across the room because of an auto-correct issue, will LOVE this trick.Any additional comments?
I was (and still am) a Luddite and if it weren't for that dreaded beast, Carpal Tunnel, I wouldn't even consider dictation regardless of how much EVERY AUTHOR WHO CHURNS OUT A LOT OF WORKS SAYS THEY USE IT. So trust me, I went into this looking for a reason that I couldn't do it. This must be a common refrain because there's an entire chapter dedicated to just that. and I went from "please validate why I shouldn't try" to actually dictating something of substance. It works. It. WORKS. give it a shot.Puts the WOW in "HOW" to. You WILL be dictating...

Sure. She seems to be good at laying out things in a practical and not rigid manner.What does Cindy Piller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Her voice worked with the subject matter just fine. This is, essentially, a text book so inflection is less important.What insight do you think you’ll apply from Dictate Your Book: How to Write Your Book Faster, Better, and Smarter?
To start with, I will be looking at my hardware such a microphone and other tools.Any additional comments?
