I've been thinking about writing a guidebook. Has anyone out there written a guidebook? How long did it take you? Thanks...
How long would it take to write a guidebook?

Hi Angela
That depends on how in-depth of a guidebook it is - I have seen (and used) some that are more of a "mini" guide, they don't try to cover everything but instead are focused on just "things to do".....so your guidebook could be short or long depending on how comprehensive you want it to be (or the publisher wants it to be....if you're not self-publishing, then the publisher should give you a pretty clear outline of what they want).
I haven't written a guidebook (yet!) but I did just come across this book on Amazon that I have been thinking about getting.....you may want to take a look at it...
Crafting the Travel Guidebook: How to Write, Publish & Sell Your Travel Book
And yes, that is an affiliate link, so if you buy it using that link I get around .30 or .40 cents... and I appreciate it as every little bit helps cover the cost of running this site and forum!
Hopefully others who have more experience with guidebooks will chime in....I know we have a few members who HAVE written them.

It depends on the writer. I know people who write fiction books and screenplays in a few days or weeks! Every writer is different. As Trisha said, it depends on how in depth the guidebooks is. Good luck!
