I’m not saying you won’t get subscriptions directly from this, but I am saying don’t push so hard for yourself that you leave a bad taste in the readers’ mouth.
I want this to benefit everyone, and if this continues, you may find yourself with a champion of your own.
Remember, the dates listed are suggestions, and publishing months aren’t guaranteed. You are welcome to submit earlier, I will publish earlier if there is an opportunity.
