Title: Publication time for Saturday LAT
Post by: ktd on June 24, 2009, 08:34:59 AM
Hi all,

I sent Rich Norris a themeless puzzle in February, which he accepted for LA Times publication in April. But, since then I haven't heard anything more about it. I know there's only one themeless published for LAT syndicate, on Saturdays, so it should take twice as long to get out as NYT, but does anyone know roughly how long it takes to get from accepted to published in this instance? Just curious, as this was my first puzzle accepted by Rich and I'm still very new to the whole crossword-publishing process.

ktd,

Congrats on the puzzle!  My own experience is that it takes about 9 months from acceptance for an LAT themeless to be published.
