Beyond the Journey: Writing After Retirement

This book is designed to help retirees worldwide effectively document and share the knowledge, wisdom, skills, and insights they have accumulated over their careers with the next generation.

 Many retirees wish to pass on their intellectual legacy, but struggle with how to start and in what format. Standard writing courses or guides often fail to address the unique intentions and content retirees want to convey, offering little assistance.

 Given the diversity in experience and content across various fields, a guide that helps retirees determine the appropriate format and approach for their content would be highly beneficial.

 Different content requires different formats. Whether it's a manual to help understand equipment or technology, a career guide providing essential information for job seekers in their field, industry-specific survival know-how, or a memoir sharing life experiences and insights, retirees have a wide range of content they can leave behind. They need guidance on what to write, how to write it, and what type of book to create.

 This book offers a step-by-step guide on how to plan, prepare, and structure books in various formats such as manuals, career guides, industry-specific knowledge, and memoirs. It provides tailored advice on book formats, content structures, approaches, and styles suitable for each type. (Published in 2024)
