  • Breath as PrayerReader review
I had been sitting on this manuscript for eleven years. My editor read it twice before she sent a single note, and it showed. She moved my opening chapter to the middle, and suddenly the whole book made sense.

More from our authors

  • Thriller

    The cover went through four rounds and nobody once made me feel difficult. We sold more copies in the first month than I had hoped to sell all year.

  • Children's

    Picture books are fiddly to print. They caught a bleed problem on page fourteen that would have cut off half of an illustration. I would never have spotted it.

  • Self-help

    I wanted a plain answer on cost before I committed, and I got one. The quote matched the final invoice to the dollar.

  • Poetry

    Poetry layout is unforgiving. Every line break in my book sits exactly where I put it, in print and on Kindle. That mattered more to me than anything.

  • Faith

    We are not technical people. They walked us through ISBNs, Amazon and IngramSpark one step at a time, and our church bookshop had copies before Easter.
