Those of you who have self-published, or are self-publishing, books (and I’m sure that’s all of you:-) will know contractors and suppliers in this industry are as likely to miss deadlines as in every other industry.
In the early stages of the process, copy editing, for example, the author can be quite relaxed about these ‘small’ delays but, like now, when I’m in the final stages of publishing all those ‘slippages’ are showing up and the latest one is shredding my patience — argh!
No matter, there’s still time to have the book on Amazon by ‘mid-November’ as I’ve been telling everyone I would.
