Are you a self-publisher?
No. We are a traditional, royalty-paying publisher. However, we do offer a variety of author's services. Click HERE to see what they are. We also provide lots of free advice and writing tips in our monthly newsletter. Sign up for our newsletter from our home page.
03
Are you a Christian publisher?
We are a Christian-owned company, which differs from a Christian publisher. Christian publishers publish only Christian material. As a Christian-owned company, we publish both secular and Christian materials. However, our secular materials must still fit our motto: Write To Bless The World.

Will you just read my book/article and tell me if it's good enough to publish?
We offer an editing service among the writers' services we offer. If you need editing help or advice, please click HERE. Though we love to help new and aspiring writers, due to the time demands of our business, we cannot offer editing services or manuscript reviews free of charge. If you are unable to pay for help, we suggest you join or start a writers' group where you can share writing help with a team of your peers. These groups are EXTREMELY helpful to writers at any level in the craft!

Will you walk through the formatting changes I need to make so I can learn how to do it myself?
We offer a manuscript formatting service among the writers' services we offer. If you need formatting work done, please click HERE. Though we love to help new and aspiring writers, due to the time demands of our business, we cannot teach you how to do what we do. If you are unable to pay for help, we suggest you analyze books in your genre and copy them. You can also attend writers' conferences or search YouTube for free instructional videos.
