About This Quote

If an author knows less about the topic they are writing about, it is usually fairly obvious in their writing. The most painful way to read a book is when the author has knowledge of the subject but they are no good at communicating that knowledge in a way that is easy to understand. When this happens, the reader is often frustrated because the author doesn’t know how to convey their knowledge to readers. If an author wants to be successful when they write a book, it’s best if they know everything about the subject and can communicate that knowledge in a way that people will want to listen and learn from.
