And as Serena Mossgraves -
Serena Mossgraves is a twisted faery with a love of gothic settings and an urge to scare. She’s constantly on the prowl for new ways to twist old stories into dark tales that excite and terrify.

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.
Let’s chat about the files.
All books have multiple files that go into the making and marketing of them.
I have talked about the covers.
I don’t know if I have discussed the main document, yet…but today I want to discuss the marketing images.
I use 3 types for each book.
I start with a cover reveal. This is actually 2 separate images. One of the cover with a release date and other information, and one where the cover is hidden. (I have not been doing this with my own personal books because of how I have been doing the presentation of them.)
The second one is usually an about the author. This is featuring a picture of the author and a short biography written in 3rd person.
The third one and the most flexible one is a teaser. This one will have a short text from the book. This is often a paragraph or two at the most (or a poem in a poetry volume).
There’s occasionally other stuff that can be done for the marketing images … but I am listing the three that I do for every one. Then you can just share the images and the link to get the book seen.
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.

Serena’s poem this week came from a news story about a child being drowned by their own parent. it’s not an uncommon story…but I’m getting tired and old. I have never been able to understand what drives a parent to kill their kids. I don’t understand why parents abuse their own child either. I have had some issues where I have made mistakes but I am not talking about that. I am talking about the ones that purposely hurt the kids. I don’t understand why.
Innocence is not a reason to hurt. If you can’t handle kids don’t have any. Some people just should not be parents.
