RE: manuscript length and timetable.

["Johan Hiemstra" <webmaster -at- techexams -dot- net>]

Thanks for the advice and the links. I already ordered the 2004 Writer's
Market book.

>- Because it's a proposal, you need to think about when they might need
the
manuscript. If it's a very timely book, sooner is better.
Remember--post-writing comes editing...then production. So 12 months
probably is too long for a book in our field (obviously, the subject
matter has a great deal to do with it).

Thanks, but I don't need to set a date. I 'have' to give an indication
of the amount of time needed to write the manuscript.
