About the amount of information you’d get in five decent-lengthed blog posts. Usually copy comes in nice bite-sized chunks: a webpage, a blog post, an article, a press release. Little ebooks. But we also get requests for huge ebooks – upwards of 50 pages. For publication. These are all extremely lengthy projects.
