Is it possible to write a book without feedback from people?

My cousin offered to edit my writing cause she runs a tutoring business with over 150 employees but I don’t want to take up her time when she is busy. She will probably edit it herself to prevent people from stealing my idea. Another cousin is jobless but has millions from his dad and runs family investments but he doesn’t have a background in my topic of interest. My friend is willing to help but not too intelligent.

It’s possible, but feedback improves your odds of success. Also, don’t write off the feedback of your unintelligent friend unless your book will only be read by intelligent people, in which case the market is small. It might be good to get the impressions of different types of people.

Think so.

I digress to this, since authors can't publish a book without getting it checked and making multiple versions, such as a draft. Every time a book goes through that process, it gets feedback. This is why it is so important to hire an editor as an author.

Yes, it's possible. The feedbacks don't promise anything. Good marketing does.

Probably. If it's a reference book.
