I am going to be doing two separate Poem a Day challenges and I am going to be doing the Fae 50k. I am going to be going for a daily habit more than the word count. The fun thing is that you don’t have to do 50k to win the Fae 50k you merely have to write daily. I am going to be trying to get as much word count as I can each day.
I Think I am going to just leave my Monday as a single poetry post for the remainder of October and figure out what I want to replace Publishing Demystified with in December.
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.
Today I want to discuss What the difference is between an anthology and a collection.
Anthology is a specific term. It’s where multiple authors gather to create a new book to delight the world.
A collection is usually a single author combining their stories into one single book.
The reason why I wanted to discuss this is because there are some people who believe that they have to be in an anthology or write a full length novel to be published.
Even if you have had your stories in other publishers anthologies you still own the copyright. You have to acknowledge the previous publication in the book. Otherwise you can combine your own work to make a collection to publish.
You have options for your own work . Don’t think that you are stuck with a novel or nothing.
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.
