Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Nightstock

👉 "Nightstock" is a term used in the publishing industry to describe a period of time or event when publishers receive and distribute their manuscripts. This is typically followed by a period of waiting for book releases, as publishers wait for authors to submit their work before they can begin printing and distributing it. Nightstocks are often associated with the publishing industry's slow-moving process due to the high volume of submissions and the need for multiple rounds of editing, proofreading, and finalizing the manuscript.
