Administrative Utility Law How-To Textbook
Budget: $50 – $0 USD
I need a seasoned author—ideally someone who has practiced inside an administrative & utility law firm—to craft a comprehensive “how-to” textbook that shows readers exactly what it takes to succeed in this niche. The finished book will speak to professionals on both the public and private sides of the aisle, guiding them through the full life-cycle of client representation before the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU) and similar regulatory bodies nationwide.
Core content I expect you to develop includes:
• How to analyse and challenge rate structures in detail
• Step-by-step preparation for testifying in regulatory or quasi-judicial proceedings
• Proven industry best practices drawn from real case work
• Practical insights that stitch every facet of the role together—from initial client intake through compliance follow-up
Because this is positioned as the definitive field manual, I want authoritative tone backed by first-hand examples, illustrative checklists, and clear process flows. I’m picturing a manuscript in the 60k–75k word range (roughly 250 pages), delivered in Word, with a separate, fully hyper-linked table of contents ready for e-book conversion.
Key milestones
1. Detailed annotated outline
2. First three sample chapters for style alignment
3. Full draft manuscript
4. Final, proofread version incorporating my feedback
If you have actually argued a case or prepared filings before a utility commission—or have equivalent in-house counsel experience—you’re exactly who I’m looking for.
