John asked Hank Phillippi Ryan:

From your mind to the retail shelves what are the distinct time sinks and what amount of time does each component or activity take in your typical process to publication?

Hank Phillippi Ryan OH, JUST saw this, sorry! Gosh, it takes a solid year from idea to final book---maybe eight months or a first draft, two months for revisions, and then two more months doing publisher/editor's revisions, and production. After the final final book is ready, its about three more months tii it hits the shelves! (ANd it's all incredibly interesting..I love each part of the process.)
Keep in touch, okay?
All best
Hank
