Writing a Technical Book for Manning

From 2017 until 2019 I spent a lot of my spare time writing a technical book: HTTP/2 in Action for Manning – a well-known publisher of IT books. It was still early days for HTTP/2 (it had been officially released less than 2 years previously), and while there were a lot of blog posts and talks from web performance conferences and meetups which contained valuable information, it took an awful lot of effort to piece all these disparate sources together. Manning has a proposal template which is a 6-page document to explain who you are, the subject of the book, a summary of the book you are proposing, typical questions raised on the subject, the reader the book is aimed at, competition, book size estimates, your contact details, a proposed schedule and finally a table of contents.
