Chapter-length = ?
The panel I'm on at RSA is turning out to be a great thing. I've been invited to submit a more developed version of my conference paper into a book chapter for an anthology on maternity and early modern romance. It's due in December, so I'll have plenty of time. So how long is an essay in a book? Any idea what I should aim for?

Do you know who the editors are? I would think it would be good to ask how long it should be. Remember that book chapter than I wrote on Shirley Ann Grau? You SHOULD remember since you let me finish on your computer (after mine crashed), and I was there, at your house, until at least three a.m.! (You are so awesome, BTW).
Anyhoo, that chapter was pretty short, just under 4500 words.
Is there someone you can ask?
