A Guide to Independent Christian Book Publishers

Independent Christian book publishers are a niche market that specializes in publishing Christian literature. They are not owned by major publishing companies, and often have a more specific focus than larger publishers. Here is a guide on how to find and work with independent Christian book publishers:

  1. Identify your niche: Understand your target audience and the specific niche within Christian literature that your book falls under. This will help you find the right publisher for your book.

  2. Research publishers: Research independent Christian book publishers by searching online and looking at their websites. Look at their mission statements, guidelines, and the types of books they have published in the past to see if they align with your book's subject matter.

  3. Query the publisher: Once you have identified a publisher that aligns with your book, write a query letter that includes a brief summary of your book, a little about yourself as an author, and your contact information.

  4. Prepare your manuscript: Before submitting your manuscript, make sure it is professionally edited and formatted to the publisher's guidelines.

  5. Follow up with the publisher: After submitting your manuscript, follow up with the publisher to ensure that they received it and to inquire about the status of your submission.

  6. Be prepared for rejection: Remember that rejection is a normal part of the publishing process, so don't take it personally. Be prepared to receive rejection letters, but don't give up on your book.

  7. Be open to feedback: Once your book is accepted, be open to feedback from the publisher. They will have a lot of experience and can help you make your book the best it can be.

  8. Be patient: The publishing process can take a long time, so be patient and don't expect to see your book on shelves immediately.

By following these steps, you can find the right independent Christian book publisher for your book, and increase your chances of getting it published. Remember to be persistent, professional and have patience throughout the process.
