I'm going to add a link to this from my blog ASAP. I'm especially taken by the first question: "How do you see my book being positioned?" This is really a reality check for authors, who are often too close to their project to recognize that they're targeting the wrong age range or genre. Actually, I'd be somewhat impressed by any author who even asks that question. I'd imagine there are many who wouldn't ask for fear of hearing something they don't want to hear.
