Our mission is to exceed the expectations of our authors and the reading community
with an uncompromising commitment to quality, individualism and personal pride.
Foundation is not exceeding my expectations with its website. Who created that awful menu? The image sizes and semi-hidden text... ugh. The bio photo for the "Award Winning Cover Designer" is creepy. The vibe overall is unprofessional.
Bigger Issues of Concern
The range of genres is too broad for a new publisher:
- Romance
- Thriller/Suspense
- Paranormal
- Horror
- Science Fiction
- Fantasy
- Young Adult
- Children's
- Sports [non-fiction?]
- Christian
- Poetry
The following is not standard practice, as far as I'm aware. (The bolding is mine.)
When submitting a children's manuscript for consideration, illustrations must already be in place. Stories without illustrations will be considered only if the author has a sample of the artwork by their chosen illustrator. The cost for illustrations will not be the responsibility of Foundations.
Nothing is said of payment other that what isn't offered--no compensation for children's illustrations and no advance.
I'm not impressed by the covers, excerpts, or categorization. (The focus appears to be on Romance through most of the genre listings.)
Plus, what's already been mentioned above.
