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.
This week I have been trying to do life things, so I am feeling behind in the publishing process.
So much of the time I have huge amounts of work on my desk and I don’t always have the energy to do it all. The first thing I had to learn is that I would end up dropping balls in the process of making the books. I have had to learn which balls were glass and which were plastic.
This means that there are days when my health comes first and I am not able to get work done or even be accessible.
I love what I do but there is days that I can’t even get out of the bed. As a small publishing firm that means I have to plan on the time I will be down whenever I plan deadlines.
When I give a deadline and then have people wait to give me their stuff until way after the deadline it usually means I have to scramble to get it done. Places like Amazon punish the publisher who doesn’t have their stuff done on time. Failure to meet the schedule will get you prohibited from releasing pre-orders for a full year.
As I said above there is often a mystery about what I do, because I do it and I don’t make it a big deal.
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.
