Fog and Moon Publishing Arm
Fog and Moon Book as a publishing arm will circulate materials produced throughout the ministry. As a separate entity, the hope is that it will serve three primary purposes. It will serve as an additional source of revenue to empower ministry locally and mission globally. It will serve as an outlet for the surplus creative juices of church planters, pastors, and lay persons in the network, allowing for additional professional materials to be available for circulation among prospects, church members, and partners. In 2019 submissions were opened up worldwide under one of three programs. Lastly, it will serve as a means to spread the gospel . This is the primary purpose as it became evident that God is at work producing professional quality fiction and non-fiction material from the minds of Gospel-centered Preachers/Teachers/Writers. One book of Pastor Dan’s was published by Tate publishing in February of 2015 and is available worldwide though it has yet to gain acclaim. It was released again in August 2017 by Redemption Press.
Publishing Programs
Facts:
All materials published will be in line with the Baptist Faith and Message or Family Freindly by their nature. Absolutely no vulgarity, explicit intimacy, or grotesque imagery. No doctrine is to be espoused directly or indirectly that is not in line with the Baptist Faith and Message. These limitations will be applied solely at the discretion of Fog and Moon Books and is not up for dispute.
Program One: You maintain ownership of the manuscript but donate its use for publication purposes. You will receive no revenue from your title but
we will use your book to connect to your website or list your ministry contact
information with the book information so that persons may locate you and
connect with you in other ways. You can republish the manuscript later for
revenue but the revenue from this publication will be donated fully to the
ministries in Toledo per our revenue schedule. We will not provide you with
ongoing statements of sales or revenue. You WILL be able to purchase author
copies of the book at our regular author copy rate which will be disclosed in
our agreement with you. We reserve the right to change these rates if our costs
increase. You will receive two free
author copies when the book publishes.
Program Two: You will receive 49% of any revenue earned by
the book and the other 51% will be considered a tax deductible donation. This
will continue for the first five years the book is in publication. You will
receive statements that break this down when the book earns revenue. We will
use your book to connect to your website or list your ministry contact
information with the book information so that persons may locate you and
connect with you in other ways. You will receive a quarterly statement with
sales and revenue statistics for the first five years your book is in
publication. After five years or at any time if you should republish the book
you will receive no further revenue from the book and all revenue will be
donated to the ministries in Toledo per our revenue schedule. You WILL be able
to purchase author copies of the book at our regular author copy rate which
will be disclosed in our agreement with you. We reserve the right to change
these rates if our costs increase.
Program Three: You may donate a manuscript to us in its
present condition with NO restrictions. You are donating the rights to your
manuscript completely. We will issue you a letter stating that you donated the
manuscript to the ministries in Toledo and you may designate which ministry arm
you would like to benefit the most from you donated works. When it comes to tax
time you may value your manuscript for tax deduction purposes as you see fit.
When the manuscript is published you can be given credit for coauthoring the
manuscript or not, your choice. This must be designated at the time of your
donation. This is the only program that accepts unsolicited manuscripts and the
manuscript MUST be accompanied with your signed letter designating the
manuscript as a complete and total donation including ALL rights and ALL uses
from the date of the donation forward. You will NOT be eligible to purchase author
copies, will not receive updates, and have no recourse if you are not satisfied
with the outcome BUT your message will be getting out the world and you WILL be
published if we can make your manuscript work.
Program Four (Prince Albert): You may write a Prince Albert
Story and submit for publication. The story must fit within the scope of the
project. You will receive no compensation but the manuscript can be designed to
link to your website or other contact information. The submission MUST be accompanied with your
signed letter designating the manuscript as a complete and total donation
including ALL rights and ALL uses from the date of the donation forward.
Submission Form
Disclaimer: We will publish your work if it meets our
program guidelines. We will not be compelled to consult you though we MAY at
our option get your input. We WILL rely on your assertion that the manuscript
is ready for publication and even if there are errors it may go to print as is.
You are expected to be satisfied with any adjustments we do choose to make and
satisfied if we make no adjustments at all. We will attempt to keep your
message intact as you have written it and in general if a manuscript requires
any edit that touches on message then we will probably not publish unless we
have been given complete rights of the manuscript which would also allow us to
adjust as necessary. If you are concerned that we will alter your message then
our programs are not for you.
Also, be aware, as of the close of 2019, no manuscript
published by Fog and Moon books has ever earned revenue in excess of $2000.
Please do not publish with us or donate to us thinking your manuscript will
take off unless you have a platform and people you know who will buy the book
once it is published. If you are not willing to generate sales your book will
only achieve availability by publishing with us. It will not become a
substantial revenue source for you or for the ministries we support. That being
said, we are not looking for authors that expect to hit it big with this
publication. We are looking for those who are willing to put their manuscripts
into the kingdom advance and possibly generate some revenue for the author
and/or for the ministries as an additional blessing.
Manuscripts and Signed Contracts may be submitted here: afamilyofgod@bex.net
Editing Suggestion Services
We offer an editing suggestion service. There are two levels
we offer and neither will make your manuscript ready for publication.
Level one- We
will read the manuscript regardless of errors and check for basic plot errors,
Biblical values (BFM), and provide a list of suggestions on how to improve the
story. We MAY note any basic grammatical or spelling errors that catch our
attention but this is NOT part of this service which means we may not mark any
even if we notice them. This is a very basic review of your work and amounts to
us reading it and giving suggestions on the content and whether it is in line
with our doctrinal beliefs. We will make no changes to the manuscript. This
service costs $40. (51% of this will go directly to the outreach ministries in
Toledo, Ohio and is considered a tax deductible donation.)
Level Two- We
will read the manuscript and make relatively thorough suggestions for grammar
punctuation, and other editing. We will mark up a copy of the manuscript. No
changes we suggest will actually be made to the manuscript and no suggested
changes will be required in order for the manuscript to be published by us in
the long run. However, making suggested changes to your manuscript is likely to
make your manuscript more ready for publication. This service is to provide you
with a marked up copy of your manuscript so you can go back and make the edits
yourself as you see fit (or don’t your choice.) This level of exploration and
suggestions for your manuscript costs $.025/word or $25 per 1000 words (51% of
this will go directly to the outreach ministries in Toledo, Ohio and is
considered a tax deductible donation.)
We are required to collect taxes on the 49% that is
collected by Fog and Moon. The tax rate will be 7.25% and will be reflected on
your invoice.
Where the money goes:
