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.
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. Download the Southern Baptist Convention The Baptist Faith and Message.

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.
