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.

specific information on Submission Requirements, click here.
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.
