I have finally sent off a draft manuscript to two places. One is to a publisher in the UK who is going to consider it and the other is to an editor in the USA who will determine what amount of editorial work is needed and what the cost may be.
I have continued to enjoy designing the content, writing and editing and re-editing the material. It seems to have a life and voice of its own now. I like what I have written even though I am not sure which category of writing it belongs to. It may still be too academic but then there are many books which I have read over the years which required me to read them 2 or 3 times and to study them in order to comprehend what the writer was saying. So ... that may be what others have to do with mine.
In fact it may be more like a resource book which could be useful to individuals and groups who could respond to the questions at the end of each chapter and have discussions, study or reflection times.
