Publish with Deeper Revelation Books

Deeper Revelation Books assists Christian writers in publishing their works, using the latest technologies to create products of excellence.

 

We provide expert editing, proofreading and graphic design services (both covers and internal layout), e-book production, marketing options, global distribution contacts to both Christian and secular markets, POD (Print-on-Demand), cost analysis, website design, online media kits, and more: all the essential elements to make your new book a success.

 

We are a co-publishing company. We come alongside authors to assist, but we never �own� their books. Our authors have the final word on everything, from the title, to the cover design, to the retail price, to all editing and marketing decisions. As soon as we decide to unite our efforts, you will be assigned a �book mentor� who will educate you on the publishing process and help you make all the right choices.

 

Our vision is to help you fulfill your vision! 

THERE ARE FOUR MAIN STEPS TO TAKE IN BECOMING

A PUBLISHED AUTHOR WITH DEEPER REVELATION BOOKS!

 

1.      APPROVAL�Normally within seven days of your submission date, one of our editors will give your book an initial assessment. If your manuscript is approved, we will email you a basic overview, indicating the steps we feel you need to take to achieve maximum success.

 

2.      EVALUATION�If approved, a book must then pass through �Evaluation� to determine four things: first, what level of editing your book will require; second, the size and style of the work; third, if the book is only for personal outreach or ministry use or if national and international distribution is desired, and fourth, what the author�s purposes and goals are with regard to the target audience, size of print run, distribution, promotion, marketing and advertising.

 

3.      COST ESTIMATE�Once we determine a basic �Book Plan� for a new DRB Associate Author, an estimate can be given on projected costs. This can always be altered later on in the process to allow for modifications and changes.

 

4.       PRODUCTION�Once a book is approved and has passed through the stages of evaluation and cost estimate, we move into the production stage: editing, proofreading, cover production, internal layout and finally, the print run. This normally takes from three to six months, depending on the complexity of the project. When a large scale promotion and marketing campaign is part of the release, planning and step-by-step implementation can take up to a year.

 

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:

 

Subject Matter�Your book must be Christian in nature and in agreement with the "Statement of Faith" of Deeper Revelation Books. It can be either non-fiction or fiction. In the near future, fiction books may be placed under a new company label, created just for that category.

Manuscript Submission�Submitted manuscripts can be sent to us in either of the following two formats:

(1) Microsoft Word Document--Send a digital copy of your manuscript in a Microsoft Word document, either single-spaced or double-spaced, a simple layout on 8.5�x 11� pages with 1� margins. You may email it to info@deeperrevelationbooks.org or send it to our mailing address on a CD. After approval we may ask for you to send a paper copy as well. It is very important that you do NOT try to lay out your document with a complicated design. It makes it more difficult to adapt to our professional publishing programs. Please keep it very simple.

(2) Adobe InDesign (other formats also considered on a case-by-case basis)-- if your book has already been laid out in some kind of publishing program, we might be able to work from the design a professional graphic artist has already created, either as is, or with the intention of changing the appearance, if that is the author�s desire. After approval of your format, we may ask for you to send a paper copy as well.

No submission fee is required.

Previously Published Works�If your book has been previously printed and/or published, you may submit your work in book form. If your work has already been published and you have been in a contractual relationship with another publisher, you must submit a signed release from your former publisher allowing you to republish with another company or with us specifically.
 
Financing�Except for projects that Deeper Revelation Books plans, we do not financially underwrite the production of any books. Please only make a submission if you intend to finance the project yourself. We will supply you with estimates on the cost only after manuscript approval.
 
Copyright�Our Associate Authors maintain ownership of their books and copyrights. The only exception is when Deeper Revelation Books employs the help of an author in producing a book. We will help you through the process of obtaining a copyright, if you need our assistance. Your book is safe with us.

Promotion�For approved authors, at times, we do basic promotional work, submitting books to reviewers, obtaining TV and radio interviews, writing and sending out press releases and various promotional, marketing and advertisement options, some of which incur a charge. We have a list of TV and radio interview programs available for purchase.

Distribution�We offer distribution through the following channels:

         Christian�The primary distribution company we use to reach the Christian bookstore community is Anchor Distributors.

         Secular�The primary distribution company we use to reach the secular market is Baker & Taylor Distributors.

         POD (Print-On-Demand)�Through a POD company named Lightning Source (a division of Ingram), we are able to connect our authors with a database of up to 26,000 retailers, including distribution in the UK and Australia, and on websites like Barnes and Noble, Amazon.com and other major chains. Because of this service it is not always necessary for our authors to print large print runs to publish their books. We require that the first print run be at least 100 books, but after that you can order any number you desire, even one at a time. That way your book is never out of stock and never out of print!!!

 

Yes, you can get your idea out to the world. Publish through DRB!!!

Thank you for your interest in publishing with us.
Please make sure your book meets the specifications
above before contacting us.
