Sorry if any of this doesn’t make sense - I’m not feeling well and I’m a little loopy.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 19:13:21 Associated-names Copyright Paperback Collection (Library of Congress) Autocrop_version 0.0.14_books-20220331-0.2 Boxid IA40621305 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier I suppose it depends on how much the editor/publisher believes in the author’s work. I’ve never heard of anyone being fired for it, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t authors out there who simply haven’t been offered another contract. I know authors who have been a few weeks to months late. I believe that most publishers are quite tolerant and will do their best to work with the author. However, the publisher is within their rights if the author doesn’t deliver on time to ask for money back. It also depends on the circumstances of being late - a death in the family is obviously not the same as sitting around watching TV. As well, an author who is rarely late is probably given a bit more leeway than someone who is habitually unable to meet deadline. Being as considerate as possible of the publishing house is a good thing. If the author gives plenty of warning and the editors are able to reschedule then it’s not so much a big deal. Hopefully, things will work out for the author.Ĭarol, extensions depend on a lot of things, but I think the most important is the author’s relationship with her/his editor.
There appears to be a little more news, but still no definite release dates. Valdez has updated her website since this post initially went up. Valdez, I don’t think I’ll be feeling too optimistic.ĮTA: As noted by reader Trish in the comments below, Ms. Hopefully, the situation will change, but unless I hear something further from Ms. Valdez’s website lists her contact information as “being updated”, things are not looking good here. Further, I have been informed that Lisa Valdez’s book “currently is not scheduled for publication.” Given that Ms. Valdez’s publisher that she does not have a release coming out today.
Given that the author’s website does not appear to have been updated since May 2008 (curious in light of a supposed January 2009 release), I inquired further. Readers at our forums recently noted that the Barnes & Noble website indicates that Patience, the long-awaited second novel from Lisa Valdez, would be out starting today.
