Walter Epp: You want to write a book that isn’t boring? You want an idea for your book that no one else has had before? Then follow Benjamin Franklin’s advice and watch this episode of the Schreibsuchti Show. I speak to the author Sebastian Kühn about how he came up with the idea for his successful book “Twelve New Lives”. In the episode you’ll find out what Benjamin Franklin has to do with it. You’ll find out how Sebastian implemented this idea and how he sold and marketed the book. Plus Sebastian also reveals what his next project will be. Incidentally, he has never revealed this secret project publicly before. And now? I hope you gain a lot of insights from the interview with Sebastian Kühn.
Walter Epp: Welcome to the Schreibsuchti Show
It’s about writing better, building an audience and earning money. And today? Sebastian Kühn, author of twelve new lives, is visiting. Welcome, Sebastian. You wrote the book twelve new lives. And it has a very interesting germany email list motto. You wanted to experience something great and then write about it. That fits perfectly with Schreibsucht, where I always say that if I write great, it’s great. Or Benjamin Franklin said that you either live a life that’s worth writing about or write something that’s worth reading. You’ve kind of done both and now you’re going to tell us how you came up with the idea of living twelve new lives. What’s the story behind the book and how did you write it?
Sebastian Kühn: It was the perfect opening with a quote
I discovered writing quite late. I’m almost 40 now, I became self-employed at 30 and let my husband go because of a bad memory of German lessons and started writing, including a blog . At first I mainly wrote advice articles, so to speak, relatively rational, clearly structured about bureaucratic tax topics. But I noticed cheers to vera that I really enjoyed this creative writing , which I gradually improved with feedback from my readers, and I was really keen on a larger book project. And just as you say, I was at that anhui mobile phone number list point at the time and thought I need to experience something cool, I want to develop myself further so that I can then put it into words and put it into a book. And that was the case in 2018 with twelve lifestyle experiments that I did. Every month I tried out a different lifestyle model for myself. And then the following year I wrote about it.
