Many Christian authors dream of holding their finished book without having to navigate the complex technical aspects of Christian publishing. If you’re looking for a Christian publisher that handles everything from manuscript editing to worldwide distribution, full-service publishing might be exactly what you need.
What Is Full-Service Christian Publishing?
Full-service Christian publishing means you focus on your message whilst professionals handle every technical aspect of bringing your Jesus-centred book to market. Unlike self-publishing, where you manage each step yourself, or basic publishing packages that leave gaps in the process, true full-service publishing provides comprehensive support from manuscript to bookshelf.
The Complete Publishing Journey
Manuscript Development and Editing
The journey begins with polishing your manuscript through professional Christian editing services:
Developmental Editing: We work with you to strengthen your book’s structure, content flow, and overall message. This isn’t just grammar checking – it’s about ensuring your Jesus-centred message comes through clearly and powerfully.
Line Editing or Copy-editing: If required, we refine your prose at the sentence level, improving clarity, style, and readability whilst maintaining your authentic voice.
Collaborative Process: Throughout editing, you remain in control. We provide suggestions and improvements, but every change requires your approval.
Professional Design and Formatting
Custom Cover Design: Your book’s cover is crucial for attracting readers in the Christian book market. Our designers create covers that appeal to your target audience, look professional, and reflect your book’s spiritual message.
Professional Formatting: We handle all the technical aspects of manuscript formatting for both print and digital ebook versions, ensuring your book meets industry standards.
Author Approval: You see and approve every design element before we proceed. This is your book, and it needs to represent your vision perfectly.
Quality Assurance and Legal Requirements
Final Proofreading: Before printing, we conduct a comprehensive proofread to catch any remaining errors, ensuring your Christian book meets the highest quality standards.
Legal Registration: We handle all the paperwork, including ISBN registration and submission to British deposit libraries – requirements that often confuse first-time authors.
Professional Standards: Every book we publish meets the same quality standards as major Christian publishing houses.
Worldwide Distribution
Your book won’t sit in your garage. Our distribution network places your Christian book in:
- Online retailers worldwide
- Physical bookshops (when ordered via the distributor)
- Digital platforms
- Specialist Christian retailers

Marketing and Launch Support
Professional Marketing Guidance: We don’t just publish your book and disappear. If you require it, we can advise with Christian book marketing support to help you reach your target audience.
Launch Strategy: We can help you plan and execute a book launch that maximises your book’s impact in the Christian market.
Ongoing Encouragement: Publishing can be overwhelming. We provide continued support and encouragement throughout your publishing journey, helping you stay motivated and focused on your goals.
Our Selection Process: Quality and Alignment
Jesus-Centred Content Only
We only consider manuscripts that are genuinely Jesus-centred. This isn’t just about mentioning faith – we’re looking for books where Christ is central to the message, whether that’s through:
- Biblical teaching and theology
- Personal testimony and transformation
- Christian living and discipleship
- Faith-based fiction with clear spiritual themes
No Guarantee of Acceptance
Submission doesn’t guarantee we’ll take on your project. We carefully evaluate each manuscript for:
- Alignment with our statement of faith
- Quality of writing and message
- Market potential in the Christian community
- Author’s commitment to the publishing process
This selective approach ensures that every book we publish meets our high standards and serves the Christian reading community well.
Is Full-Service Publishing Right for You?
You’re a good fit if you:
- Want the highest quality book possible
- Prefer to focus on writing rather than technical publishing tasks
- Value professional guidance throughout the process
- Are willing to invest financially in professional publishing services
Consider other options if you:
- Have limited budget for publishing services
- Want to maintain complete control over every publishing decision
- Are interested in the learning experience of self-publishing
The Investment in Your Ministry
Whilst full-service Christian publishing requires an investment, consider what you receive:
- Professional editing that strengthens your message
- Quality design that attracts readers
- Legal compliance and industry-standard processes
- Established distribution channels
- Marketing support and guidance
- 200 books to begin building your audience
- Ongoing publisher relationship and support
Most importantly, you get the confidence that your Jesus-centred message is presented professionally and reaches the widest possible audience.
