News….Faerie Rose Press now has a Parent Company

I know that before yesterday, I talked a lot about writers conferences and things that come out of from going to conferences. Well, here is one more thing that came out of going to the latest conference, a parent company for Faerie Rose Press. Let me back track for a second and let it be known that the creation for Faerie Rose Press came from going to conference.

That’s right, the idea for Faerie Rose Press came from my second attendance of the Castle Rock Writer’s conference. It was during one of the sessions that I attended that the idea was imposed that if you are going to self-publish then you need to come up with a company name. So on my way home, I was thinking and thinking about a name between my mind swirling with all the information that I had gathered from all the other sessions. I knew when it came to finding the name was one that reflected fantasy, for remember the only story that I had on my mind was The Raven Prophecy. Then I thought of Faerie then I thought of pages of a book. Well the only thing that I came to mind were the petals of a rose, and then what came was Faerie Rose Press. Then when I got home, I registered the name with the Secretary of States office and that was how Faerie Rose Press was born.

Then for Elderwood Publications, the name and the creation was a different story. Elderwood Publications came from the idea Paper comes from trees and trees can be elders. Then there was the continuation of that idea that stories, usually ones that are well known and told over and over again are older and are classic. Therefore, I wanted a name that represented that idea, so I maintained the word Elder in the name. The wood part of the name comes from trees usually are found in the woods, or woodland areas. It is also a continuation of fantasy for most fantasy stories in some way or another are set in the forest. It might seem a bit overrated or unappealing.

But that is how the name Elderwood came together, and that’s how Elderwood Publications was born. It was also born from the idea that not every story that I write is going to be considered as fantasy so I needed something that was going to work for other genres of fiction. Granted, this was also put out after I had written the first draft of The Ravages of Time.

Now let’s fast-forward from all of that to a couple of days ago when I was attending the Write.Market.Publish.Sell! Conference. While I was at the conference, I had a one on one session with an already published writer to seek advice and to ask questions about things that deal with writing and where I see myself and my writing going. She agreed with everything that I had to say and how I was doing. However, there was one thing that I needed to do and that was create a parent company for Faerie Rose Press and Elderwood Publications. The reason for this was that I have stated that Faerie Rose Press is only for fantasy works and Elderwood Publications is for other genres of fiction, then I need to have a parent company over the two of them.

Also I found out that my wording of division was also wrong term, for it is called imprint. I have also started changing the wording on some of my business documentation to show that it is no longer referred to as division and more as an imprint.

Therefore, as I was thinking about the information that I received, I thought of a name that I have used before as an alias on games and for a while it was my persona back when MySpace was a thing. I have used it on a couple of my email addresses. It’s a name that I have wanted to grow and at one point I thought that if I was to have a business empire it would be used. It might be silly but as dreamers, and creators we dream big and leave nothing out. I’ve grown from those days, as well, but I have not given up on my dreams. Therefore, the parent company that I am using for both Faerie Rose Press and Elderwood Publications is (drum roll please…) Moonspinner3 Books.

Moonspinner3 Books is a continuation of what I have always wanted to create from Faerie Rose Press and Eldwrood Publications. Writing takes magic, imagination and creativity. Through this message we also create, write, grow and inspire. We want to continue writing and helping writers.  Please, understand that Faerie Rose Press as it is today is not changing. This website is still going to be under Faerie Rose Press, all contact information is not changing.

I hope that you will continue with me on this journey and continue with our main mission of create, write, grow and inspire. But mostly we grow with the information that we gain and share with others. This is also in part of what I have stated from the beginning, in that we make adjustments and we grow and learn from the adjustments that we make. I hope that you have a great writing day until next time.
