Should I keep my book as book or turn it into a class or turn it into a series with more than one book?

So I decided that my book is elaborate enough that it could be turned into a self help class, rather than being merely a book that somebody reads in 8-16 hours. The process of making technology to support a class might require some time to learn and understand. The advantage of having a book series is that I can copyright my title and scribal name cause in Canada your not allowed to copyright a name or book title unless it's part of a series or it's published under a business alias. There is also a law you cannot apply copyright to words because it would infringe on the ability of people to communicate in the English language if words like "who" or "why" are copyrighted. I'm not sure if this law applies to word combinations since I never hired a lawyer to study this.

What's the book?

It’s a secret.

Is that strong enough for a man? I myself use degree. 😂 Maybe just a hint though?

But if you want to make something more digestable it wouldn't hurt to break it up into a series of books that can be read in about an hour. Depends on how daunting the subject matter is. You can alsoways combine them into a collection later.

But if getting a publisher they might rather have one book as creating multiple smaller ones can add to the cost of printing. You can always have the whole book broken up in such a way that the reader doesn't feel like they have to read more than they can chew. That's what chapters are for. sometimes it may be wise to cut a chapter in half.

I once new a writer who broke his book into two books. First book was more about discussion of the topic and the second was more the application. Putting both together would have been rather think so splitting the what and the how made sense... Also he was able to sell two books instead of one.

Yes, thank you. I think doing a series is better based on what you said.
