take a look at Edit Flow plugin which offers a suite of functionality to redefine your editorial workflow within WordPress. Features include Custom Statuses

There are more you can set, such as trashed posts, and private posts, but that didn’t … Read more
Ok… so when trying to turn a future post to a published post you need to remember to set “post_date_gmt” and not only the “post_date” to the desired date.
