This issue can result in some confusion and disappointment from new authors.
Publication dates are rough targets for having finished books available for sale.
Initially, they are tentative because it is hard to predict exactly how much work a project will entail until it is well under way. For the most part, in our case, they are internal deadlines between an author, an editor, and whoever else may be working on the book. We always feel enormous pressure to finish a book. At times, we must ignore this pressure and look at the realities of releasing a title at the wrong time. Forcing a pub date can seriously jeopardize the success of the book.
