Reschedule of Upcoming Releases
The delay in getting another block of ISBN’s (bar codes) was enough to have me looking hard at our upcoming schedule. . . and to delay our upcoming releases a little longer.
Much of the delay has to do with the author of our next release (Gail MacMillan — Caledonian Privateer). Our experience with her work is that she gets a lot of immediate sales upon release. A lot. And unlike some of our other titles, a great portion of these immediate sales are direct through our website rather than through Amazon or other distribution routes.
Looking at our calendar, and seeing that our planned vacation is now only two weeks away, I had to reconsider releasing her title at present. The flurry of orders can be nearly overwhelming for the first week or two, and there is no guarantee that the majority of them are going to be taken care of before we leave. And the last thing I want is to be on vacation, fretting about how many orders are coming in that I’m not on top of.
So, in light of this, and a few other items (such as the Royalty Period ending today — June 30 — and the need to have Royalty Statements out by the end of July), I’ve made the decision to release Caledonian Privateer on July 31st. If you’re one of the people anxiously awaiting this title, I apologize for the delay.
From there, we’ll release Skylar Burris’ next book, An Unlikely Missionary, September 1st, and pick up with our regularly scheduled fall offering of Martha Dougherty’s next photography book in November.
Everyone have a good Monday!
