For authors

Every book answers one question, in two parts.

Does this book name a real difficulty honestly — and give the reader a scriptural, practical way through it?

Both halves are required. A book that only diagnoses leaves the reader worse off than it found them. A book that only encourages never earned the right to.

The offer

Our terms are published, not quoted.

Send a proposal, not a manuscript

Overview, reader, comps, chapter outline, two sample chapters.

We read every proposal

Against the test above. Eight weeks.

Terms are published, not negotiated

You choose a tier from a posted schedule. Nobody gets a better deal for asking.

Publication involves one production payment, made once. The amount you choose sets your royalty rate — permanently, for the life of the book.

Nothing is deferred and nothing is owed. There is no balance to repay and no advance to earn out.

You keep your copyright.

Submission guidelines Participation schedule

Before you send

Read the submission guidelines before you send.

They set out what to include, where to send it, and how long we take to reply. Following them is the fastest route to a decision. Read the guidelines.
