Beat Deep Books to Re-edition Book One of Faces of Rap Mothers

Fast is the catch phrase of the new millennia; however, when it comes to book production - fast and furious - is not the coup de grace and Beat Deep Books Imprint learned this valuable lesson in 2019.

Beat Deep Books Imprint, of DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C., signed Candy Strother DeVore Mitchell for representation of her two book series titles, namely: Faces of Rap Mothers and Rap Mothers Save The Day in 2019; with an additional reproduction of a private book edition previously produced. Candy, a persuasive and driven personality, insisting on expedited production fall 2019, resulted in Beat Deep Books, as DonnaInk's newest Imprint, introducing the first title in this ten (10) book series in less than three (3) months time from receipt of submission materials. Pursuant to contract terms and conditions at our publishing house, titles enter production ques when all materials relative to book development are submitted but Beat Deep Books Imprint conceded for Candy and the Rap Mothers.

Processing Faces of Rap Mothers Book One included nearly four hundred (400) images Mitchell provided in representation of contributors and herself. In under three hundred (300) pages - amassing 400 images in under three (3) months for a small, woman-owned, traditional publishing house that features Indie and traditional platforms in this expedited guise has been magical. And, as a result, Faces of Rap Mothers Book One was nominated as the Most Entertaining Hip Hop Book of 2019. At Beat Deep Books, our team has remained very impressed with our results, as have industry leads. However, rushing publication results in issues and numerous icons Candy and contributors feature, had been cited wrongfully or no citations were provided and unique spellings, not uncommon for artisans, are not always captured during rush production when conveyed with innocent inaccuracies, much to the chagrin of DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C.'s and the new Beat Deep Books Imprint.

Faces of Rap Mothers Book One's original title layout featured Candy Strother DeVore Mitchell's desire to "put her friends first" over publisher advisement resulting in the current requirement to reconstruct Faces of Rap Mothers Book One, which is unfortunate for all post-production parties. DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C.'s title(s) representation agreement with Candy Strother DeVore Mitchell referencing contributor content conveys responsibility to the author for accuracy of submission details. Contributor submissions represented within both Faces of Rap Mothers and Rap Mothers Save The Day are permissioned to our author, whose copyright is through DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C.

Generally, Beat Deep Books Imprint, creates collaborative works with all contri-butions sharing equal weight to alleviate any potential issues and/or suggestions public figures are incorporated to ignite sales, which is against DonnaInk Pub-lications, L.L.C. ethos. So, to ensure no conflict-of-interest (COI) among Faces of Rap Mothers Book One and all subsequent books, DonnaInk has incorporated the following corrective actions: a) temporarily pulled Faces of Rap Mothers Book One from sale, b) identified title reconstruction requirements to the author, c) restructured layout, d) reconfigured proofs, e) redressed and restored files, f) re-editioned the title, g) absorbed significant financial losses, and h) decided each subsequent book in the two series requires submissions directly from contributors with any/all imagery and descriptors ensuring accuracy of data shares to be produced to readership. And, the author, and contributors have been requested to honor the publisher agreement regarding marketing and dissemination of publisher sponsored materials, which has not been honored, largely due to contract terms and conditions oversight.

In order to right this ship prior to release of Faces of Rap Mothers Book Two, Beat Deep Books Imprint and DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C. temporary pull allots time to reconstruct while ensuring accuracy of content via our three-tier proof review process. All styles of release (i.e.: b/w trade, color trade, b/w hardbound, and color hardbound) will soon be reintroduced to the reading public after rigorous quality control checks. Therefore, Faces of Rap Mothers is "currently off sale" and the 2nd Edition release is pending. In this edition, Candy Strother DeVore Mitchell is featured in Chapter One and additional contributor chapters are recognized as follows:

· Chapter One - Candy Strother DeVore Mitchell

· Chapter Two - Leiah Blunt (HONEY BLUNT)

Certainly, readers / collectors are aware re-versioning results in one-of-a-kind origination books that may become collectibles regarding select printing with nominal sales to date. Readers who obtained copies prior to Faces of Rap Mothers Book One restructurization should hold onto their copies.

At DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C. our team, comprised of varied consultants and tradespeople, takes great pride in quality our publishing house represents. Pulling a title and altering previously released works is a cost-intense activity and gives a poor impression to our readership. As a traditional publishing house employing Indie and traditional platforms, DonnaInk Publications, L.L.C. is not a vanity or subsidy publisher. Our team extends high-end representation with consideration of the business parameters small publishers afford readership and authors. Beat Deep Books Imprint is not too proud to share a lesson-learned (L2) with readership and industry alike to invoke greater awareness and acceptance of human foibles that can occur even in the performance of nonfiction and literary publishing for over thirty (30) eclectic authors who hail five (5) continents and nine (9) countries and deliver content to discriminating readers derived from organic and original growth verticals.
