Comments on: The ghost of author questionnaires past… http://www.susanwisebauer.com/blog/publicity/the-ghost-of-author-questionnaires-past/ my progress as I write, revise, send to my editor, re-revise, fact-check, galley-read, and promote a multi-volume history of the world. While living on a farm, educating my kids, and teaching. And doing a few other things too.

You will get through this. If you feel sorry for yourself, eat some chocolate chips from the bag and think of me. I am currently reading through this ENORMOUS book about world history, and the text is 777 pages long! Will I EVER finish this "cursory" book? And this is just the FIRST volume! Gasp! There are supposed to be THREE more coming out, so I'd better get to work on this one... something about a guy named Lugulannemundu. Wow. Perspective: You have gotten through worse.

This monster questionnaire is as bad as the postdoc applications I am currently writing, only mine may yield zip, while yours at least will be used for impressing the great and the good! I'm currently doing a research proposal in German -- schrecklich! Btw, I am so sorry I won't be able to come play for a few days in Virginia next week. My uncle died suddenly and my folks need me at home.... Hey Susan, I feel your pain!

I work with a book publicity agency (TCI Smith Publicity) and our author questionnaire is actually longer, our authors often groan when they see it. Our version focuses more on the author's background and areas of expertise rather than their industry contacts. Good luck to you and know the information is truly needed!

That's a daunting list of questions. Do you have to fill that (or something similar) out for every book you write? I'll be over here not envying your task. :) Wow.
