[Ads-l] Intransitive "publish"

[Marc Sacks]

I just encountered this in a "Vox" article:

Enterprising Southern women have been trading on this platonic ideal of a
lifestyle forever. The latest is Reese Witherspoon, whose book *Whiskey in
a Teacup*
<https://go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1516588&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWhiskey-Teacup-Reese-Witherspoon%2Fdp%2F1471166228>
published last month.

Shouldn't that be "was published," or is it perhaps self-published? Has any
of you encountered the transitive "publish" elsewhere? It's new to me.
