The Book That Took Me 15 Years to Finish — Until AI Changed Everything

Hi everyone,

A wonderful update today.

On Dec 12th, 2011, I started working to publish a public domain book in my niche on Lightning Source, but transcribing the text was a monumental challenge and so it sat there waiting.

Today, Claude had transcribed and cleaned up the text and I'll be looking it over shortly then move forward with publishing it asap.

Ready to put this into action?

The original was 483 pages. I am leaning towards publishing it on Amazon.

I am a happy camper to finally get to this point.

I already published a LP Edition of a title that is now live on Amazon today and I am working on another Reg Ed and LP to publish today or tomorrow.

There's no slowing me down!

Wen asked what will I be doing on my birthday later this month. I said, Working! Nothing like doing what you love to do on your birthday. :-)

To Your Success!

Mel Waller
