Hi all,
I'm contemplating writing a non fiction book on weather and / or chasing in a narrative, mostly non technical style. In non fiction as many of you know, a proposal is first prepared with a couple sample chapters, and the book is completed on contract with a publisher upon acceptance of the proposal. I am an experienced writer, but not published, so my challenge will be great. Before I dive in naively, I am researching the feasibility and wisdom of the endeavor.
I'd be extremely grateful for your thoughts on three simple questions:
1.) Do you consider these literature markets (weather and chasing books) saturated? A simple search at amazon yields hundreds of titles on weather or chasing.
2.) What are some of your favorite titles? (I own several books in the sub genre, including those published by other Stormtrack members, but knowing what others like could be useful)
3.) How do people feel about getting their storm photos published in a book?
I know I'm kind of imposing on your time by asking these questions, but I can't think of too many places with more knowledgeable people on this subject. Thanks in advance for anyone who responds.
