What We  Don’t Do
We are firm in the belief that when God gives you a message, you need to share what God gives you. As needed, we clean up grammatical issues and anything that is potentially confusing to the reader. We do minor rewrites for clarity and flow. If necessary, we will make edits that are more substantial. Rest assured it is not our intent to change your message. Write what God gives you.
 
We do not assume rights over your material. What you write is yours. You retain all legal rights to your work.
 
Sadly, we can make no guarantees that you will become a bestselling author overnight or ever. We do not handle publicity, however, we will connect you with our marketing agent as part of our package.

Please Note
We work with adults who wish to write non-fiction Christian books that have an uplifting message (perfect bound/softcover books. We do not handle children’s picture books. The minimum time is 4 months from the official start date (when we receive your completed files, interviews, authorization, and deposit). We will work with you toward a reasonable time if you need your book expedited.
