Write Better, Faster

I’ll admit I rolled my eyes when I saw *another* book promising to make me a faster writer. But Leonelle’s approach is refreshingly devoid of fluff—she treats writing speed like an engineering problem, not a moral failing. The audiobook’s structure is its secret weapon: each chapter builds on the last, starting with mindset (the "Permission to Write Fast" section was a gut-punch I needed) before diving into granular tactics like her "Writing Sprints" method. Piller’s narration deserves special praise; she delivers Leonelle’s dry humor and data-heavy sections with equal finesse, avoiding the monotony that plagues so many nonfiction audiobooks. Her tone is conversational but precise, like a podcast host who’s also a spreadsheet nerd. That said, this isn’t a book for purists who romanticize the "tortured artist" process. Leonelle’s emphasis on metrics and systems might feel clinical to some—there’s a full chapter on tracking word counts that had me side-eyeing my own resistance to data. And while the dictation section is gold, the audiobook oddly doesn’t include samples of Leonelle’s own dictated drafts (a missed opportunity for an audio format). Still, the production quality is flawless: no distracting edits or volume spikes, just clean, professional delivery that makes it easy to absorb complex ideas on a commute. If you’ve ever stared at a blank page thinking, *"I know I could write faster if only…"*, this audiobook will hand you the "if only" tools—then dare you to use them.
