Title: Re: book Post by: Jon MW on May 15, 2009, 04:58:42 PM You could hire someone to dictate it too while they type it? Or more simply - dictate it into a dictaphone - then hire someone to write up your notes. This might make it easier to edit yourself - but obviously the notes could themselves also be typed up by the same person into a narrative.
