Submissions
Clear terms. Careful reading.
Hybrid-traditional and author-first: we select few projects, explain the path, and keep the relationship plain.
How it works
Three steps, no fog.
-
01
Query
Send a short pitch, sample pages, comps, and an honest AI disclosure. We reply in about six to eight weeks. Not every book is a fit—that isn’t a verdict on the writing, only on our list and values.
-
02
If accepted
A one-time $500 setup covers admin and the ISBN. You hire editing, design, and formatting directly (we can recommend people or help you find your own). We don’t take a cut of those invoices.

03
Royalty
Most houses keep the large share. We reverse that: SRP takes about 10%; you keep the rest. After production we review again, set the price with you, and upload for global distribution—Amazon and booksellers worldwide.
The hybrid
Traditional selection. Self-publishing production.
Self-publishing packages often run into the thousands. If your manuscript fits, we don’t sell you a bundle. You pay freelancers at cost; we walk with you through editing, design, hardcover, paperback, and ebook.
After publication we help with launch, marketing options, and PR—again, you pay vendors directly. We’ll also mention the book in our own channels. Sales aren’t guaranteed. Most independent books sell modestly. We’re still interested in stories that need to be told.
Fit
What we take—and what we don’t.
We accept
- Faith and mission memoir
- Christian living
- Leadership
- Masculine initiation
- Personal growth
- Character- and message-driven fiction
- Children’s books on growth and resilience
We exclude
- Horror
- Romance
- “Woke themes”
If you’re unsure about fit, say so in the query. A clear no is better than a long maybe.
