My point is that your 3.8 Engineering/Humanities assignment is not a product that needs to marketed to the masses. 5k words in that space is easy, and I think this because I have done the same thing in the same field (Engr).

12k words isn't a huge amount, but as a published sci-fi writer you already understand that fictional writing is a saturated market with brutal competition, and publisher deal deadlines can be brutal too.
