Train yourself with new SAS Certification Prep Guides
Dear Readers,
The cicadas are still chirping loudly in North Carolina, but we're starting to experience the softer side of summer. As author and poet Helen Hunt Jackson wrote:
By all these lovely tokens,
September days are here,
With summer's best of weather
And autumn's best of cheer.
Despite its pretty face, September is one of the least complacent times of the year. Many of you are starting a new semester in college (or sending children to school), rededicating yourself to work post vacation, programming your DVR to record your favorite fall television series or sporting events, or finishing your summer reading.
In this issue of SAS Publishing News, you'll see why September is one of our most productive months at SAS Publishing. From releasing new editions of three very popular books, to preparing for multiple fall conferences, to updating SAS users about eBooks, SAS authors’ tips, our blog, and a cool new feature for aspiring SAS Press authors.
Although the outdoors is extremely tempting right now, we're excited about our many projects and hope you enjoy this issue of SPN—wherever you are reading it.
Thank you for subscribing!
See you in October,
Shelly Goodin
Editor, SAS Publishing News
