For pastors, ministry leaders and Christian authors
From finished manuscript to published book
You’ve written the book. Now let it be read—designed, typeset and launched with the care it deserves.
A finished manuscript deserves better than a desk drawer
Too many good manuscripts never become books. Some are turned away by publishers with no room on their list. Others stall at the technical end: covers, typesetting, file specifications and platform uploads.
I take your finished manuscript the rest of the way. You publish under your own name or imprint, and you keep your rights and your royalties. I am not a publisher; I make sure you don’t need one.
The process
Step 1 — Readiness check
We agree a style sheet, and I check a sample of your manuscript to confirm it is ready for layout before any work begins.
Step 2 — Cover and interior
Two distinct cover concepts, two rounds of refinement, and a clean, readable interior typeset for print and ebook.
Step 3 — Files and platforms
Print and ebook files built to specification, your book description and author bio written, and your listings set up on the major platforms.
Step 4 — Launch
Launch images in every package, and in the Complete package a launch plan built around the churches, media and networks your readers already trust.

Your manuscript should arrive copyedited and final. If it needs more work first, I’ll tell you before we begin.
Declined by a publisher?
A no from a publisher is rarely a verdict on your book. Most small Christian publishers can take only a handful of titles a year. Before you decide what to do next, read my free guide to your real options: other publishers worth trying, self-publishing done properly, and the warning signs that you’re dealing with a vanity press.
