when the time to thank comes, I run the risk of not having enough room

when the time comes for acknowledgements, i will run the risk of being brief.
if it's a book the term acknowledgemets is better i think.

When writing my acknowledgements, I run the risk of missing people out
Another interpretation.
Or 'When acknowledging contributors', but that would depend if it were indeed contributors that were being acknowledged.

I fear that I will not have enough space in these acknowledgements to thank everyone
Book acknowledgements often open with a phrase of this kind, in case the author misses someone out.

Although I realize I run the risk of leaving someone out, I would like to thank the following people who have provided invaluable assistance in the writing and publishing of this book.
Comment:
I am assuming here that the sentence that follows is a prelude to a long list of people being acknowledged, and I am suggesting combining the present sentence with the introductory phrase.
Gilla's answer (the only viable option among the five thus far offered) would also work nicely.
Suerte.

In expressing my thanks, I run the risk of omitting the names of people I am (greatly) indebted to.

With regards to acknowledgements, there's a chance I forget someone
Consideing this is a book and it refers to "agradecimientos", the term normally used is actually "acknowledgements and not so much "gratitude".
