Publishing Demystified

The purpose of this one is simple. Most likely everyone here knows I run Fae Corps Publishing and I have been doing this in the background for a while now. I plan on talking clearly about the tools I use for publishing, and the way that each one works. Demystifying what I do. Is that to say that I will be making my own self unnecessary? No, because my experience is valuable. I just feel like so much of the process is made out to be harder than it needs to be.

Okay I will admit it.

Today I want to get on my soapbox, just a little bit.

Every publishing company has a set of rules for submissions. some are just because it makes it easier to read the submission … others are because of the people who are reading the submission.

Fae corps publishing asks for the submission to be sent in either a doc or Google docs link. We ask for no Erotica or Excessive Gore.

The first part is so that if it’s accepted it will make it easier to get it edited and then placed in a manuscript.

The second one is because I have to read everything that I publish.

The latest anthology subject was monsters. I expected it to be a small bit of horror and gore. I really don’t want to be a jerk but I didn’t expect anything with erotica in it .

I read some erotica .

On my own personal terms, when I am in the correct mindset for it. when I am not in the proper mindset I will be unable to deal with it.

I also recommend you to send trigger warnings when you send story submissions. If I receive a story with something that requires a trigger warning and it doesn’t have one …it is not going to be at the top of the approval list .

You want to get your story in the book …also don’t pester the editor before they have a chance to even read all the submissions.

okay soapbox done.

I will leave on the bottom of the post the upcoming calendar. I feel like that will help. As You can see this changes slightly each week. Things get adjusted because Authors are not ready or I get a book that I had promised space.
