Could there be anything more boring than a bunch of publishing people having a meeting?Viewers will be in the Publishing Committee Suite as the actual Publishing Committee decides who is published and who is not. This is true, real life television. If you have ever wondered how to get published or how publishing decisions are made, you will be riveted to your seat when invited behind the closed doors of the publishing world watching authors and their ideas being chosen and rejected.

The Candidates’ goal is to be the one who is headed to press. Each week one Candidate Author will hear the dreaded words, “The doors to publishing have closed.” With the show climaxing in the final episode when one Candidate Author will hear, “You’re Published!”
