Carol:
There's also the practical matter of completing the manuscript while
you're pregnant and raising a family, not to mention getting it
copyedited, set in type, proofread, corrected and bound. What the
publishers want in terms of marketing, etc., and what they get under
the circumstances may be two different things. Unlike most writers
(and editors), JKR is in a position to negotiate her deadlines. Wish I
were!
