Wouldn't it though. If you find any willing publishers that can pay in advance (at the rate that I bill when consulting), I'll be right on that.

Seriously, I've talked with several published community members about how you pull it off and it basically boils down to having to live on rice and water for 6 or 8 months until you can deliver something. I'd love to collaborate with a published author who knows the process and can basically let me architect the book and write the code, but do a lot of the actual writing. Spare time is dear (read: nonexistent), and working for a living sho' do take a pinch out of ones day...
