Would you be interested in a book about technical marketing?

I would!

But I would also be interested in any book that gives new insights, expertise or broaden horizon in a compelling and fascinating way.

Book will be rather judged by how good it is, than what's about.

Do you mean "marketing to a technical audience" (i.e., selling tools and services to developers) or "marketing for a technical audience" (i.e., how to sell to non-developers)?

The proper definition of "Technical Marketing" would be the former, but I suspect there is more interest in the latter. I hope to use the survey as a tool to understand what people are really interested in.

"I suspect there is more interest in the latter."

Right, that's definitely true in my case, since I'm targeting people w/o programming skills for my startup's services.

BTW, if you do go ahead with the ebook and would like to use eBookBurn (http://ebookburn.com/), let me know, and I can issue you a discount code as a courtesy.

I would really appreciate it if you could take the survey. Direct link: https://spreadsheets0.google.com/viewform?hl=en&hl=en...

The idea of surveying before, during, and after book creation looks interesting. I'm not sure if I like it or hate it.

But heck, I'd like to see how this experiment turns out.

I'll be sure to write a postmortem about how surveying has affected the development and the overall outcome of the project.
