One thing I'd say is to be kind to those who came before you because writing a book is a very vulnerable process. With a nonfiction book, I always felt like it was akin to declaring, "Here's what I know. Judge me!" Because people will, and it will often be unkind. Even in 2024, with the ease of publishing (and easily updating) an eBook, publishing a book still gives me a sense of finality, which is scary.
