There are benefits to signing on with a traditional publisher. These include credibility for the author, established distribution, publisher reputation, professionally designed books (cover art, formatting, ISBN, LCCN, etc.), early pre-publication reviews, royalties, etc. Add the benefits of self-publishing (higher profits, more control, etc.) and it becomes a win-win situation.
What are some of the terms, conditions, and benefits of Freedom Fox Press?
• Accepts multiple genres.
• Professional cover art and formatting. They will work with the author on the cover, including using photos or artwork provided by author.
• Review copies sent out to major reviewers three months before release date.
• Marketing support.
• Royalties are based on net profit and the author receives 80% on print books and 90% on ebooks.

My duties revolve around the establishment of this imprint and spreading the word via social media. (Dancing Lemur Press LLC is my publisher, so I was already an author.)
If you can help spread the word through Twitter, Facebook, blogging, Pinterest, etc., I’d be grateful. This is an incredible opportunity and hopefully the beginning of a new model of publisher.

Congratulations. This all sounds so exciting. I just wish I had a draft to submit. At least I can share it out on social media.
This looks like a wonderful imprint that will benefit many authors. I just tweeted. I'll take a look at the t-shirt.
That's awesome you're helping spread the word about them. They sound like a great publisher that could be the right fit for some authors.
Congratulations! This sounds like a great opportunity for authors interested in a hybrid model.
How exciting! Looking forward to hear how this works out for you. Fingers crossed for a successful venture.
Looks like a wonderful opportunity for writers Diane. So many self published books are not properly edited before they are inflicted on the unsuspecting public. I hope this will be a successful enterprise.
This sounds great! Best wishes on the endeavor, this sounds like a company ready for today's challenges.
That is awesome. I tweeted!
I hope the new imprint it soars!
This is so very exciting. I will help spread the word. And I already ordered my tee-shirt. I think it will go well with my khaki shorts.

Thank you for all the information and emails, Diane. This is a very good thing. All publishers should go this route, and the royalty percentage is a huge perk. I'll consider this next time round.
Thanks for the details! I checked the guidelines and unfortunately my one book isn't a good fit, but I will keep them in mind for the future. :)
An ISWG T-shirt? Yes! When I get some extra money, I will definitely be ordering one. :D
That's a great opportunity for someone.
Got my t-shirt ordered!
Freedom Fox Press sounds great!
Yay for the IWSG T-shirt!
Sounds very interesting. Congrats!
Very cool! Sounds like a great opportunity :)
Congrats! I love the concept of this publishing imprint, but alas, I don't think my books would fit, since I don't have a huge focus on keeping things clean.
Must order my T shirt. I had one for the A to Z, ordered the large size, lost weight now it's too big.
Yvonne.
Sounds cool. Good luck with your new endeavor :)
Congratulations on Freedom Fox Press!
Great design for the T-shirt!

Thanks for the information about the new imprint. Sounds wonderful.
Congratulations on your new venture. Hope it does well for you.
A very exciting new project for you. Tweeted. :D
The nature of publishing is changing at the speed of sound. Or light. Whichever is faster. I'm not a science geek. But, it's FAST.
As you say, this might be yet another Major Change in the evolution of publishing!
This is exciting news. I'll keep a note of this.

Hi Diane,
What an awesome bit of news, Diane. This sounds excellent for established and aspiring authors.
A t-shirt, dedicated to me? Thanks! Okay, never mind my delusions, I shall check it out.
Thank you, Diane.

Hybrid authorship is on the rise. The new press sounds great... moving with the times.
Love the T-shirt!
How exciting! Congratulations! Inspires me too, to finish a project so I have something to submit!
This sounds like a really cool idea and I hope it comes with much success! I don't have anything ready right now, but I'll keep it in mind! Shared on twitter.
Diane, good luck with everything. It's a lot of work but I'm sure it'll pay off big!
Congratulations! I wish I had something to submit right now, but I'm hip deep in a couple of projects that I planned to self-pub - a writing curriculum book and the last of the Champion trilogy. But the next book . . . maybe it will be the right fit.
The new venture by Dancing Lemur Press sounds great! (I think they're the ones who pub Alex's books, right?) Thanks so much for the info. Will tweet! :)
Sounds like a really good publishing idea!
The lighthouse shirt is really pretty. The lighthouse image is an especially popular one, so I bet you'll get lots of orders!
Goldmine advice Dianne. I now know where to get publishing advice. It pays to break things down into manageable goals.
There area lot of benefits to going traditional publishing. You also learn a lot from a publisher and good story content editors. I'm not surprised they want you to spearhead this. You're good at what you do!
