Although we started releasing books back in March and really didn’t get fully in the swing of things until about June, this company started putting in over 40-hour weeks starting in September of 2024. Because it has been a full year, I wanted to look back and let you know all of the stories that you may not know from these blogs.

As soon as the call for submissions opened, we got quite a number of projects which we were happy to look at and consider. It is difficult because, really all submissions have merit and qualities but what it comes down to is, the ones that don’t get selected are judged mostly because of technical, legal or copyright issues.
