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.
  
  
• If you would like us to consider your work for publication please email a query letter, synopsis and three sample chapters. Since we may ask to see the completed work it is advised that you finish your manuscript before sending a sample to us. Also, 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.

• All material will be evaluated in as timely a manner as volume allows, usually two to eight weeks.

God bless you in your writing!
