  A one-incident anecdote, a single fascinating character or a fictionalized experience can often be more effectively communicated to a wider audience when conveyed in a shorter form, such as a short story, poem or essay, says Jeanne Fredericks, of Jeanne Fredericks Literary Agency.
  
  A book's worth of information must fill at least 50,000 words and 210 manuscript pages.
  ...
  Fredericks suggests deciding whether your idea is so timely, such as a fictional novel about Monica Lewinsky, that it won't be of interest to readers in a year or so.
  ...
  Fredericks adds that while some books are produced on extremely short schedules, they are generally by famous authors and/or about topics of urgent national concern.
  
  Conversely, the ability to calculate trends can be very advantageous.
  
  ...
  Fredericks said book agents and editors are careful about signing up "me-too" books, and they routinely check competition on Internet sites.Magazines, though selective, require a steady flow of articles to suit their readers' interests.They are less rigid about publishing on a subject that has been previously covered as long as the approach is fresh.
  
  On the other hand, more than 50 O.J. Simpson trial books were released in 1995, and more will appear for years to come.
