email from magazine production editor...
Shortly after we sent the last issue to print, we decided to move the issue we are working on now back a week to allow us to cover the US election. Our press night for the December issue was supposed to be 2nd November so we would have missed the result—hardly acceptable given the enormity of the potential situation! We’ve moved it back a week to the 9th to allow us to cover it.
Ultimately it means that they’ll be open for a little while longer. Until the middle of next week. There wasn’t a way to amend the dates for the document uploaded to the website, unfortunately.
All the best,
Chris

Assume this means we have until middle of next week to submit.
