       Traditional Publishing

Depending upon the quality of the book, the
demand for content on the market, and various
other factors, a book may be accepted for
traditional publishing. If it is, the company bears
all of the cost associated with publishing the
book. The following fee m
ay still be incurred by
the author:

  • Contractual errors on behalf of the
    author - This is a rare occurrence, but
    when it happens, the author is billed at
    $30/hr for corrections. These errors can
    include: wrong name, social security
    number, address and/or book information.



All books accepted into traditional publishing will
receive extensive marketing.


These contracts are royalty-based. Some authors
may be offered an advance, but this is not
typical. It will depend solely upon the book's
content!
          Self-Publishing

Self-publishing is for authors who want
complete control over their works. It is also an
alternative for authors who are declined in the
traditional department. Most books can be
published through the self-publishing
department, provided the content does not
conflict with our Christian principles.

The fees for self-publishing vary greatly
depending on many factors, including:

  • Size of manuscript
  • Whether illustrations are needed or not
  • Editing package needed
  • Marketing package selected

We provide the same services for self-publishing
as we do for traditional publishing, only at cost
