Christmas orders
07/11/07 07:10 Filed in: Announcements
I know, I know. Every year Christmas seems to be
coming earlier. My wife and I went to IKEA this last
weekend (what were we thinking, IKEA on a Sunday) and
all the Christmas stuff was already out. A couple of
days after Halloween.
However, in our world of book publishing there's a real reason for posting this. Every year we get a rush in late November, with authors self publishing their book in time for Christmas. And every year there are some which we have to disappoint because they are simply too late. It takes us about four weeks to get a book into print and that assumes a flawless, proofed and formatted manuscript.
So please, if you have a book that you want published before the new year, do it soon, otherwise we won't be able to guarantee delivery in time for the holidays.
