About

What Happens Next?

We will read your submission, pray over it, and get back to you within six weeks to let you know whether we think it's the right book for us to publish. If we liked the book, we'll ask you to send us the full manuscript (if it's finished) So we can read through it before we decide if it's right for us or not. If we don't think the book is right for us, we'd still like to encourage you on your journey, and we may potentially suggest other publishers or guide you toward another option. If your book is accepted, we'll be talking to you about beginning the publishing process - at no cost to you if your book is accepted.
