Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving! This week we are having a ‘Best of’ issue of Authors Publish. We are also publishing it on Wednesday (as you may have noticed), so that it does not encroach on your holiday.

We are taking time off this week to visit our family, and to take a much needed break. It is our daughter June’s first Thanksgiving!

We are very thankful to have you as a reader. Authors Publish Magazine is almost three years old now. We’ve been impressed by the steady readership that we’ve gained, and the encouraging words of many of our subscribers.

Our mission is to make it easy for you to get published. We want to personally thank you for spending time with our articles. We know your time is valuable, and we strive to earn your time every single week.

This issue features all the articles that we have published in the last six months that have received a lot of attention. They are the articles that our readers have deemed most helpful and that are requested again and again.

If you do not see your favorite article here, be sure to email us at support@authorspublish.com so that we make sure to fit it into the next ‘Best Of” issue.

Happy Holidays,

Jacob & Caitlin Jans
