E-BOOK writing has become a fast track to digital publishing, enabling aspiring authors to complete their first draft in just 24 hours using a structured approach.
Kuala Lumpur Intellectual Authors Club (IAC) president S. Nahanthiran said many first-time writers struggle with mental blocks, procrastination, uncertainty in content development and concerns over research, structure and market positioning.
“To truly understand what an e-book is, one must write the first e-book,” he said in a statement to Bernama.
He added that experiential learning was key to helping individuals overcome the challenges and build confidence.
IAC, he said, organised workshops regularly using a structured, step-by-step framework to guide participants from developing ideas to completing their first draft in a short time.
The one-day programme integrates theory and hands-on exercises, with strong emphasis on mastering writing techniques that yield tangible results.
Participants are guided to understand the fundamental differences between e-books and physical books, which differ in characteristics and applications.
“IAC welcomes individuals who aspire to write, but are uncertain about how to begin, and encourages them to join the club for ongoing opportunities to learn and grow in the writing arena,” said the certified e-book trainer and coach, who holds a Professional Certificate in E-Book Entrepreneurship from Spectrum International University College.
Nahanthiran, who has authored 15 e-books across various genres and manages a digital bookstore, said the club’s intensive coaching model guides participants through the entire process, helping them plan and complete their first draft efficiently.
Beyond the one-day sessions, he said the club planned to organise a two-day writing retreat at Janda Baik in Bentong, Pahang.
The retreat aims to provide a tranquil and conducive environment for participants to disconnect from daily distractions, reconnect with their ideas and make meaningful progress in their writing journey.
The initiative not only accelerates the writing process, but also encourages participants to pursue further writing projects, including physical publications.
