Additional Details :
The manuscript is approximately 45,000–55,000 words (estimated 170–220 pages at 6 × 9 once formatted). It includes a limited number of pre-designed diagrams that must be placed exactly as provided. An auto-generated table of contents is required for both print and eBook. Language is US English. Clean, well-organized editable source files are expected at handoff, along with a brief midpoint progress update during the project.

Additional Note :
This project is the first of two related nonfiction books. The second (companion) volume will follow after the first book is completed. Strong performance on this project may lead to a follow-on contract for the second book.
