Hi Austin -- It would be great to see this materialize. I've been pursued by publishers a lot in the last year, so I might be able to facilitate introductions if you need them. You'll probably want to have a few sample draft chapters, however.
I'm aware of 3 different groups creating related content in this space, but I think nobody is doing it from this angle. They are lurking on the mailing list, so they may have reached out already. All the best, and I wish you finish it with the same enthusiasm as you started!
