Is there any wiggle room in the shcedule provided in my contract?

 

 

Yes, there certainly is. It’s important, though that you discuss this carefully with your editor and the production team.   Everything has been carefully worked out so that we can dovetail the work. 

But we do allow a generous month for each part of the process so there is every chance that if something isn’t finished by the end of the month specified it can be completed the next month and yet there will still be room for that month’s task.

In the end, a book is ready when a book is ready. If both sides can be kind we’ll get there.

We do understand that life happens and that sometimes creative processes get stuck.  Key is keeping everybody informed.
