I use Notepad (or Mousepad) for writing down on-the-spot notes and brainfarts and whatnot, but when I need to start actually having bigger ideas of what to write and putting everything together, I would never use them

You could just send them the .tex file? Isn't that how scientists do it?

Nope, most major non-academic book publishers/agents/editors only accept .docx

pandoc can work with .docx, it can convert to-and-from .tex, template them, the works.
