This information is designed as
a guide to aid you in understanding our requirements and standards. However, there is no better way to determine what we are looking for than reading our books.


Thank you for your interest in Walk Worthy™ Press books. Walk Worthy Press is a Christian publishing company that publishes contemporary fiction that may be of particular interest to African American readers.

Our slogan, "Real Believers, Real Life, Real Answers in the Living God™" is the foundation of our program. We are interested in good stories that encourage the faith of our readers and turn their hearts and minds to Jesus Christ as the solution to all of the challenges in their lives.

We do not publish poetry, short stories, cookbooks, sheet music, theses, dissertations, biographies, autobiographies, sermon collections or booklets.

Guidelines for Manuscript Submission

Although our books are primarily fiction, our goal is to help our readers grow spiritually strong by publishing creative, contemporary and entertaining material with a Christian theme or message consistent with the Bible.

  • The primary protagonist must already have a strong, personal relationship in which he or she has already accepted Jesus Christ as his or her Lord and Savior.

  • We publish only contemporary Christian fiction! Please do not submit any other type of fiction. Your manuscript should take place in the present, mainly from the point of view of the chief protagonist. Use of secondary, Christian and non -Christian characters is encouraged and may be used to enhance tension, plot or character development.

  • All material should be the author's original work. Stories that contain scenes or plot lines that bear any resemblance to previously published work are in breach of copyright law and are not acceptable.

  • Manuscript length should be between 85,000 and 120,000 words. Work that does not meet these length guidelines must be exceptional to be considered.

  • We do not accept partial or unfinished manuscripts nor do we critique manuscripts as an editorial service.

  • All material must be typewritten, double spaced and on 8 1/2 x 11 paper. No disc submission. Computer generated material is acceptable, but must be letter quality and pages must be separated. Continuous feed computer paper is not acceptable and will be returned without consideration.
  • Do not submit your material bound in binders, boxes or containers of any kind. Secure material by rubber bands. Cover sheet must include your complete name, address, phone number, title of work and the word count. Please include a complete synopsis and bio, which includes your spiritual experience and previously published work(s), if any, with your submission.

  • Do not telephone to confirm whether or not your manuscript has been received. If you need confirmation, please send the manuscript by Federal Express, USPS Express Mail or some other mail service that provides you with a tracking number and a method by which you can confirm delivery. DO NOT SEND MATERIAL BY CERTIFIED MAIL OR WITH A RETURN RECEIPT REQUEST.
