Authors FAQ:
Q: How long will my book be featured? A: It depends on a number of subjective factors. Some stories will remain featured for quite some time if our editors feel that they are important literary work and need more visibility to readers. Other books will remain for a month or a quarter, to give them visibility in the market. Some stories will be featured for a short time, if the author doesn't participate in regular RT's via Twitter, doesn't respond to our email, or is difficult to work with. There are many other factors that influence our decision about how long to feature a book.
