The Tiger Indeed Writes

If you've been keeping up with the Fanged Fiction Twitter account, you've probably seen us advertising Tristan by Sylvain St-Pierre. For any of you that don't know, we've been editing for Sylvain via Ottercorrect Literature Services for the last few years now, editing seven novels for him to date. We've enjoyed his writing, and have decided to print and distribute his work! While these items won't hold our logo, they still hold our support, and we're very excited to bring them to you.

What does that mean for you? Well, for the next seven months, hopefully, we'll be releasing one of his titles each month, which includes a paperback version and a redesigned ebook version! If you want to read samples of each of the titles we'll be carrying, visit his website and check him out. Sylvain has been self-publishing his work for awhile, and is currently selling the ebooks for each of his released titles, but you'll be able to get them all right here, fully updated, coming soon.

If you like Sylvain's work, along with buying the titles we release, he releases a lot of extra content on his Patreon, so consider supporting him there.

If you like his work, also consider joining his Discord channel, where you get to read first drafts of a lot of work, talk about existing work, and have input on in-progress work.

Outpouring of Acceptances

9/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Another gap, but another round of exciting news!
 
Needless to say, we've been busy. Not only do we currently have two anthologies open for submissions—we know we announced them last time, but they're still going strong—but we've accepted not one, but three works for publications! We've also released a few new merchandise options over the last month or so that's worth getting excited about.

The Anthologies

As a reminder, we have two anthology calls open for submissions. You can check them out here, but here's a brief rundown of them anyway!

Goal Publications is open for short stories based around coffee. The usual rules about anthro animals that surround all stories we accept applies, but the story much have a theme that centralizes somewhere around coffee.

Fanged Fiction, our 18+ imprint, is open for erotic stories with a strong predator/prey dynamic. Make them unique, as they will be regarded with much higher priority than your generic "cat chases mouse" or vice-versa stories!

The Merch

Along with our Whandirlust tshirts now being offered in a variety of fun colors, we have two other items that have had a lot of attention!
Picture
First up, our "Hoofer" tshirt. Whether you're a fan of the hoofed and horned or you just want to show your support for these underappreciated herbivores, this is the shirt for you! As with all of our shirts, these are printed on Gildan ultra-cotton, meaning they'll be comfortable while still lasting as long as you want them to.
Speaking of hoofers, keep an eye out on Project Greenfields, eventual sequel to award-winning title reWritten, for a special Furry Booktober event that we'll be running with them!
As you can see, model and Fanged Fiction mascot Trale is really feeling his true self in this shirt.
Second, you know you want to wake up in the morning with a hot cup of coffee—or relax in the evening with a hot cup of herbal tea—with these logo mugs! Available in 11oz and 15oz sizes, these mugs will handle whatever you throw at them (just please don't throw the mugs!)
Not convinced? Check out Fanged Fiction mascot Trale as he really enjoys some sort of beverage in this mug. Is it the blood of the innocent? Is it a fresh cup of bean juice? Who knows!​

The Upcoming Releases

I think we've teased you long enough.

Expected to release in mid November of 2018, award-winning author Renee Carter Hall of titles such as Huntress and By Sword and Star brings us our second Pocket Shot entitled Signal, a story about a rakuun whose curiosity gets the better of him, leading him on a journey to discover more about the ones who came before him.

Next, expected to release in February 2019 at Anthro New England, novelist Ben Goodridge—who you may know from his previous titles White Crusade and Found: One Apocalypse—brings us Akela, the gripping tale set in the Australian Outback following Akela, an anthro wolf—Bushchild—struggling to regain his memories and the life he once had. This title is a long time in the making, and we're all excited to bring it to you.

Finally, in her first publication expected to release in May of 2019, Leila Wilson with musical fames like the Freedom Planet OST and the upcoming Kyle & Lucy OST, bring us a Symphony of Shifting Tides, following Verse and their friend and partner-in-crime Xan, pirates who are forced out of water due to the death of the sea. They only want to leave and find a new home, but they get pulled into an adventure full of war, magic, and prophecies that Verse never wanted a part of.


Want to join in on the fun? While we are closed for novel submissions, we are opening back up for Pocket Shots on October 1st, 2018. Check out the submission guidelines for more details on this type of book, and how you can submit.

Pocket Shots and Anthologies

7/31/2018

0 Comments

 
.We recently opened up pre-orders for our newest title, Melody of a Street Corner. Some of you may remember this story from the first Furry Writers' Guild anthology. What's different about this title as a whole, then?

This title is the first in our line of "Pocket Shots", 4" x 6" books that can likely fit into your pocket. These sub-30k word books are quick, inexpensive reads that allow us to introduce readers to authors without the full cover-price of a novel or anthology.

​We are excited about this line of titles, and would love to add your story to our collection.

Besides that, our two (hopefully) annual anthologies are open. This year, the Goal Publication one focuses around coffee, and the Fanged Fiction has a predator/prey theme. If you're interested in submitting to either of these, click the link and check out the submission guidelines.

Our parent company, Ottercorrect Literature Services, is still open for editing jobs with quick turnaround times. No matter the size or content of your project, send it over to be edited.

2018 Convention Sales Wrap-up

5/29/2018

0 Comments

 
We've just returned home from AnthrOhio, and we are sad to say that this will end our conventions with sales for 2018. In the northeastern US, most of the conventions are bunched up in the beginning of the year. Some of our staff will be at Anthrocon, but just attending, not selling.

If you're looking to get some of our titles, FurPlanet will be there, and may have a selection with them.

Over the weekend, we officially released Heirloom of the Rusks. Thank you to all that pre-ordered or picked up a copy at the convention. We also released our next tshirt, which came out fabulous. Whether you're excited for the release of Whandirlust (available for pre-order now) or simply think that the shirt and all its colors and fuzzy characters looks stunning, grab one for yourself.

Whandirlust: the Saga Begins will be released in conjunction with Anthrocon. We are hoping to have it sold there in some fashion, but that is yet to be confirmed.

As our usual reminder, we are open for publication submissions! Check out our submissions page for more information on how to submit.
We are also looking for more project in the editing side of things! Check out our main site for how to send your project in for editing, and also check out the updated pages on our referral program (for current clients), as well as resources on how to edit your own work a bit better.

New Releases Coming Up

4/10/2018

0 Comments

 
It's been a wild road for the start of 2018! Some things are coming up that we're excited for.

In two and a half weeks, we will be at Pine Fur Con up in Maine, and while there we will be opening preorders for Heirloom of the Rusks by Lucas d'Aquina, a YA novel with a lot of high-fantasy notes. The preorder sale will last until the week before AnthrOhio, where we will be at the end of May.

Other than that, we've been working with an editing client for years off and on with a title called Whandirlust, a fantasy adventure set on an alien world. The book has undergone rewrite after rewrite, and with this latest pass, we couldn't pass up asking to publish it. The author is one we've worked with before, though on the artistic side of things. Aisha Robinson, who did the artwork for A Glimpse of Anthropomorphic Literature, as well as the interior artwork for Tales from the Guild: Music to your Ears. Excited to bring you that title, which should be opening for preorders at AnthrOhio next month and be released in time for Anthrocon.

As always, keep an eye out for more news. We're open for both editing projects (visit www.ottercorrect.com for that) and novel/novella/visual novel submissions, and we are hoping to see your project soon!

New Website...again!

2/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Doesn't it feel like we were just down this road recently? You're right, we were. Squarespace was great with our website for awhile, but sadly they limited us on some options, making things difficult on the logistics end. We've moved over to Weebly, and because of that, we have these new features for you:

  • We are now taking submissions and inquiries through the form on our website. If you have an inquiry about a submission or potential submission, or if you are going to submit a project, click on the Submissions and Inquiries tab above and fill out the appropriate form. This will ensure we get the info we need to make our decision.
  • Second, and probably most exciting, our new site has the ability to take reviews on products, and have comments made on news posts! We're still working on getting the reviews to function properly, but news comments are up and ready to go now.
  • Third, we now have the option of discounting shipping on specific products. We want to keep making USPS Media Mail a free option, but that option cannot extend to our merchandise, which does not meet the criteria for this shipping service. These products now have a blanket shipping option, and using the discount code MEDIAMAIL, as long as your order only contains books, you'll get free shipping, if you're in the US.
  • Finally--another logistical item--our storefront integrates with Square, making it easier for us to keep track of sales between conventions and online without going to different places.

Thanks again for your support. You all make these things worth it!

2017 Wrap-up

12/25/2017

0 Comments

 
It's been a very eventful year for us! We are still a very new publishing company with a lot to learn, and this year has been a learning experience.
In April of this year, we released our first novel, reWritten by Jako Malan. This book has turned out to be a great success, just as we'd hoped. This chilling adventure has earned quite a bit of praise, and we are excited to work on Project Greenfields, the visual novel sequel for reWritten.
It was at this time we also learned that e-book formatting is certainly nowhere near as easy as it looks! We will be rectifying our lack of formats for 2018, with a little help from our new staff members, Amy and Rechan. We've only been working together for a month now, but their help has proved to be invaluable.
In June, we released Symbol of a Nation, an anthology edited by Fred Patten. This collect has a lot of strong stories in it, some of which already being murmured as candidates for awards this upcoming year.
We also learned that larger conventions are certainly not our most profitable venues. For the foreseeable future, we will be attending larger conventions, such as Anthrocon and Midwest FurFest, but will not be dealing at them.
We've also started unveiling merchandise for our most profitable venture, Blackgate, created by HTBH Games and managed by us. Look forward to plenty more merchandise coming forward in 2018, with plenty of help from our beloved merchandise artist, Lil' Shark.
Finally, plans are underway for the release of Heirloom of the Rusks, a very Redwall-esque YA adventure that deals with a lot of high-fantasy and magical realism. We will open up pre-orders at Pine Fur Con in late April, and the book is set to release on a currently-undermined date after.

Thank you to all who have supported us in 2017, whether through advice, retweets, submissions, or even positive feedback to others. We really appreciate it, and hope for a happy and healthy New Years for all.

Long-overdue Updates

11/29/2017

Wow, it has been awhile since I've made a news post, hasn't it? I really need to get better about that, especially since a lot is currently going on!
First off, as you may have seen on Twitter, we've contracted two editors to help us with the workload! First off is Jonathan (Rechan) Hixson, who has edited numerous successful anthologies within the furry fandom. Second is Amy Fontaine, who not only has work featured in A Glimpse of Anthropomorphic Literature, but also works as an editorial assistant for Cosmic Roots and Eldritch Shores. I am extremely excited to be working with both of these individuals, and I think they are going to really bring a whole new dimension to Goal Publications.
Second, we are in the works on editing a new release that will be premiered (hopefully) at Fur the More in April of 2018. The book is titled Heirloom of the Rusks, by Lucas d'Aquina. To summarize, it's a fantasy adventure of likely and unlikely rabbit friends in a Redwall-esque world, who get thrown into a war most of them never thought could exist. Fans of Jess Owen's Song of the Summerking saga will certainly find this to be enjoyable.

Third, we've recently launched preorders for our own tshirts! You can find this, as well as future merchandise, at http://www.goalpublications.com/merchandise
Thank you all again for your support as we continue to learn and grow. Stick with us!
