If you have been wondering how long it takes to become an author, let me share with you what is an ideal timeline. Now, before I tell you the exact timeline, let me give you a disclaimer.  There is actually no such thing as an exact timeline. Based on my experience working with hundreds of authors, I kind of arrived at an average time period that I believe one should allocate for their book project. Firstly, it depends on where you are at right now. Have you already finished writing your book? Are you still in the early stages? It obviously depends on that. It also depends on how much of your attention you can give to this book project. If you can channel your focus mainly on your book project, then the time period will be much lesser.
