We are rapidly approaching the holiday season, so it's time to make sure everyone is aware of upcoming holiday hours and publishing deadlines to make sure your books are ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In observance of the\u00a0 Thanksgiving holiday in the US on Thursday, November 27, our offices will close at 5 p.m. CST Wednesday, November 26<\/strong> and reopen Monday, December 1 at 8 a.m. CST<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To celebrate Christmas, our offices will be\u00a0closed on both Wednesday, December 24 and Thursday, December 25<\/strong>.\u00a0Normal hours will resume on\u00a0Friday, December 26<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our offices will also be\u00a0closed on Thursday, January 1<\/strong>\u00a0in observance of the New Year.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep the holidays and office closures in mind as you plan your year-end publishing. There is typically a rush of holiday releases, and with special holiday hours at most of our retail partners, publishing delays can occur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you're planning to order author copies of your paperbacks, we encourage you to order early to ensure your books reach readers in time. Our print distribution partner recommends ordering paperbacks by December 6<\/strong> at the latest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We expect that the flurry of pre-Christmas releases and the special holiday hours at our partner stores will result in some delays. If possible, plan ahead and submit any changes or listing requests\u00a0by\u00a0December 8<\/strong>\u00a0to ensure the changes get published before the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please keep these dates and holiday hours in mind so we can all enjoy the holiday season together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Happy Writing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
