Answering the Query Where and what all do you publish?

We publish a wide variety of books. Currently, we have a catalog that includes romance, horror, memoirs, children’s books, poetry, and fantasy. We are in discussions with authors of game books and a coloring book. We do each book on a case by case basis. This allows us to maintain the quality of the products we produce.

We use a wide variety of places for our Ebooks, using Draft2digital to assist us in distribution. We also distribute through Amazon and Google play directly. We use Barnes and noble for print – both hard and paper back editions. We also use Amazon to try and make it easier for people to find our books.

we update the reading list as we produce new books – www.books2read.com/rl/faecorpsllc

If you have other questions you want to see in this format send an email and I will see about doing them.

Answering The Query: What do you accept for submissions?

We do roughly three anthologies a year. We do a monthly newsletter.

Anthologies –

A typeface for all submissions…Either Times New Roman, Arial, or Ubuntu. Something easy to read. No really weird formatting please. at least 12 pt font.

Stories – The paid versions are limited in the slots, but we are looking for between 3k and 6k word count on the stories. The word count is not a fixed thing…if your story is 2880 words…send it. If your story is 6500-word count, send it. We will help you to get it where it needs to be. The unpaid anthologies have similar requirements without limitations.

Poetry – This is where we limit the amount. Sending in huge amounts of poetry makes it difficult for us to sort through the submissions. We ask that you limit it to 5 per entry. This gives us a reasonable ability to choose the best work that is sent to us. We do not limit form or style. We do ask that the poem be able to fit on a single page.

Art – Printing does usually end up with the pictures going to grayscale. Ebooks will have the picture in color. 300dpi is required for publication. We again ask that you limit yourself to 5 submissions of this variety to each anthology. We appreciate the talent in your work but it makes it harder on us to put together a showcase of indie talent.

Newsletter-

Much of the newsletter is the same as the anthologies. The only real difference is that the newsletter goes out monthly. At the end of each year, we choose from the newsletter to release a yearly best-of anthology.

When you submit – Your submission should either be an attachment or a google docs link. It should come with a short bio written in 3rd person. Include a picture for the about the author area – either a picture of you or a logo or something similar. Make sure there is at least one link where you can be found in your bio.

Answering The Query: Do you Pay?

This is perhaps the first question asked when it comes to publication. We have two types of an anthology that we do.

Paid anthologies – These have limited slots. Usually 9 stories and 10 art/Poetry slots. We require the author of the stories to assist with the marketing. Those who do will receive 10% of the total royalties paid for the anthology. Those who do not or those that submit Poetry or Art receive 1% of the royalties. These anthologies are to promote the authors.

Unpaid anthologies- There are two types of unpaid anthologies. One is for charity where most of the royalties go to a specific charity based upon the anthology. The other the royalties go to keep our doors open. In both types, the authors get an ebook copy of the book in their choice of format. Also, the authors can go through us and get copies of the book at author prices.

Our indie authors who publish a book through us receive 75% of the royalties. We offer Editing, Layout, Cover Design, and marketing for the 25% we receive. (Though if the author chooses to bring their work already edited or a bought cover we do not complain.) We do require that the author cover the cost of the initial proof copy to make sure that the book looks like the author wants it to look. Otherwise, that is the only cost requirement for publishing with us.

I hope that this answered any questions involved in our pay scale.
