Customized assistance for new Christian authors
How Do I Get My Book Published?
That's the age old question. There are lots of companies and individuals out there that can help you achieve your goal. There are literary agents, publishers, hybrid publishers, self-publishing companies, editors, designers, proofreaders, ghost writers and printers.
But what does each of these companies or individuals do? How do you contact them? How do you make sure you are getting the best? Well, now there is a company that you can contact to help you sort it all out. Christian Book Services.
Larry Carpenter heads up Christian Book Services. He's the former President and CEO of Spring Arbor, the world's largest Christian distributor. He served as Vice President of Marketing for Thomas Nelson, the world's largest Christian publisher. He started FaithWorks, which grew to be the largest Christian full-service distributor. And, most recently, he served as President and Publisher of Standard Publishing. In 2010, he started Christian Book Services as a company that helps aspiring Christian authors get their books published.
Larry personally works with each of his clients. There is no "one size fits all" solution. After a free initial consultation, a customized publishing plan is created and Larry works with you on an hourly consulting basis. Perhaps you want to go with an established publisher. After a review of your product, Christian Book Services helps you find a literary agent. Or you might choose to self-publish. Larry can help you find the right self-publishing company or even save you money by hiring an editor, cover designer, layout designer, proofreader and printer in a turn-key package. Once your book is self-published, Larry helps you get a sales force to represent your book and a distributor to warehouse your book, set it up with bookstores and e-tailers, and take and fill orders.
If you are overwhelmed with the process or just feel the need for an experienced, helping hand, just go to www.helpchristianspublish.com or www.christianbookservices.com. Or you can contact Larry directly at larry@christianbookservices.com or 615-472-1128.
