is anyone here aware of an author who has blogged his/her research on a non-fiction book? I’m in the early- to middle stages of researching a book, have a publisher, but thought it might be interesting to chronicle what i’m learning and seeing along the way.

Also, how do you avoid spam?

I just got off the phone with a writer friend who is very well informed and told me that if I want any chance of getting my non-fiction published, I had better get busy blogging and build a platform through a website. I have heard this before but this time I’m taking action. This post just confirmed my intel. Now I have to learn how to blog. I’ll pay someone to design the site.

Is there is specific site that lends itself to book blogging better than others? I would like to get this started this week and it sounds like a perfect avenue to accomplish my objective.
Thanks!

I've done similar work with Squidoo pages. Non-fiction stuff that I had written has found a place and an audience, and received valuable feed back. I've received help and supportive comments even from acknowledged successful authors like Seth Godin. I've turned a corner and started a fiction book online, Complicit Simplicity, and I'm working on it as if blogging a novel. I'll continue to create non-fiction online also. As you say, building a platform is necessary for success. Book 2,0 is a community building that platform one plank at a time.

Nice, Chris. So when are you blogging your book? Or are you going to blog your book about blogging your book in a continuous feedback loop?

I took a class from Chris, and it that was great. Specifically, it really spoke to the scientist in me. Getting continuous feedback is going to be so valuable in me writing my book and building my company!!!
