Comparing Christian Self Publishing Companies

By Jill Faulkner


Writing literary works is an endeavor that numerous people have. However, in contrast to what most of these individuals think, this endeavor will actually require more than just hard work. Authors will usually find their efforts worthwhile anyway, especially after their works are finally recognized. Those who wish to be in control of all aspects necessary to get their works printed should find reputable Christian self publishing companies.

Options as to how authors can get their works published are actually abundant in number. Heading to traditional book publishers is most common though since doing so will relieve authors of all the hassles involved. They need not worry about proofreaders, producers, editors, designers and even marketing teams. However, one disadvantage to the options is the difficulty in breaking through markets with traditional publishers.

You might also want to try out seeking the assistance of print-on-demand publishers. These publishers only print works right when orders are settled. Products will then be sent to customers afterward. You will be guaranteed a sales percentage, usually valued around 60 percent. Other options you can consider are e-book publishers.

There are authors who will certainly want to handle on their own all aspects involved in getting their works published. Self-publishing firms will be great consideration in such cases. The design, printing, publicizing, marketing and production will all be left in the care of authors themselves. Marketing can be done online, in bookstores or churches.

There are a handful of reasons as to why there are authors who want to do the publishing on their own. Many find this quite bothering because the task entails a lot of work. One reason that is common among authors is so they can avoid having their works associated with publications that may be inappropriate to their focus on the Lord.

Regardless of what method you will be choosing, make sure that you secure all editions of your work an ISBN. This will allow your work to be advertised throughout the internet, even in various bookstores. You can acquire an ISBN from the company you have approached. You may also want to get barcodes but these are usually sold separately.

Before selecting a publisher, authors must first check the offered contracts. This is so they can review all the disclosed terms, ascertaining their rights to their own works. Copyrights must never be ceded on to companies. Authors must also make sure they can break free from contracts easily should publishers do a poor job.

Cost is one very important factor to be considered. This is important especially to authors with budget limits. Service quality should be compared alongside the costs. It will also be essential to remember not to have the price compromise work quality. Discussions on how much the books will be sold for should be discussed by both parties.

Make sure that you do your research on what the Christian self publishing companies may offer you. Find out if you can secure a placement with an online retailer or a bookstore. However, know that it is also possible that the firm will leave the venue hunting to you.
