Small press publishing ‘pick-me-ups’ – books that encourage and restore – from a Christian perspective, which we market mostly to evangelical bookstores in the UK and elsewhere. We position ourselves in the entertainment/gift/popular categories as opposed to resources / reference / academic.
Biography
Gift book ideas
Self-help and howtos
Apologetics
Church growth
Christian Fiction
We sometimes publish translations and re-publish out-of-print titles (wih credible track records!)
We far prefer to sign publishing contracts BEFORE works are written.
For biographies, the first question we ask is whether we have heard either of the subject or the climactic event. Least promising are autobiographical accounts that major on difficult personal circumstances.
Fiction should consciously fall into one recognised genre (eg humour, romantic comedy, thriller, historical, sci-fi, whodunit). We do not see fiction as a vehicle to disseminate an autobiography or a heavy doctrinal / prophetic agenda!
