Insightful as always! I know a couple of illustrators who've had books postponed because something too similar was coming out at the same time. And I illustrated a book that seemed like a fresh idea at signing only for everyone else to seemingly have the same idea by pub date. C'est la vie.
I look forward to seeing how you estimate pub dates.
