It’s time to publish your book, tell your story, and document your legacy for posterity’s sake. As a leading inspirational and faith publisher, Kharis Publishing is committed to publishing the message that has been given to you, to help you “write in a book what you see…” (Revelation 1:11, NASB). There is a message in your heart for the world; a message which only you seem to have seen or capable of seeing. It’s time to share it. We will publish your book and distribute it, free of charge. Editing, colorful cover design, ISBN, Library of Congress cataloging, distribution etc.? Yes, all on us, as it should be. All we ask for is your partnership in getting the word out regarding your own book. Kharis Publishing is innovating the traditional publishing model in a way that enables you to share your message professionally and effectively.

Mission

From the start, our mission has been two-fold:

Provide an innovative publishing platform for professionals, businesspersons, pastors, workplace leaders to tell their story and share in a book form what God has put in their hearts, with a focus on under-represented writers, including women and first-time authors. As we have grown and branched out to all kinds of authors, we have remained true to this original mission. It has been truly an honor to be a part of telling your story.
The second part of our mission is to provide mini libraries/resource centers to select orphanages in developing countries, so that these amazing kids may learn to read, write, and dream of a better future. When you publish or buy a book through Kharis Publishing, you are a huge part of giving the gift of literacy to these orphans.

History

We got our start from the campus of John Brown University in 2015. Since then, we have grown as a leading faith and inspirational publisher. We have also moved our headquarters from Arkansas to the greater Chicago area, IL.

Like all traditional publishers, there is no out-of-pocket cost to you at any stage. Editing, printing, and distribution? Yes, all on us, as it should be. We believe in your story. So, we empower you to tell your story in a way that glorifies God and inspires humanity, at no cost to you through our traditional publishing option. Kharis Publishing is an imprint of Kharis Media LLC. However, we expect all authors to take advantage of our generous Author-buy Back program to get copies of your own book for personal use and promotion, at 50% discount.

Kharis Publishing can help – the Word in you doesn’t have to be held back. Burned by unprofessional and predatory practices of some self-publishing platforms out there? Kharis offers a traditional option that gives you peace of mind. Stressed about navigating kindle direct publishing, KDP select, and all the other options from Amazon books?

Testimonial

While other publishers could not see past the unusual natural of my unique book project, Kharis Publishing took a chance on me and this unusual idea, and for that I am very grateful. They were very encouraging throughout the publishing process and the editor, Karen Herceg, was excellent in her suggestions, advice, and encouragement. On top of that, as an educator I love the fact that a portion of the proceeds of every book goes to provide orphans with literacy materials!

Dale Hathaway

Author: Mathematical Devotional

Kharis Publishing made me what I am today. I am eternally grateful to them for plucking me from the depths of obscurity and elevating me into an emerging voice in African Literature and beyond. I like that Kharis Publishing treats you like part of the family, right from the querying stage up to when you hold your pristine, nice smelling author copies, they pretty much involve you and make you part of the process in the publishing of your book. Their graphics team are the stuff of legends! Additionally, their social responsibility vision of raising literacy levels amongst children from deprived backgrounds resonates well with me.

I am proud to be part of the Kharis Publishing Family and cant recommend them highly enough. It’s a whopping five stars rating from me, for this quintessential publisher.

Andrew Chatora

Anna Pranger

Kharis Publishing has been a pleasure to work with. Not only have they produced our book with quality and consistency, they did so with the mission in mind. We salute Kharis Publishing and recommend that authors engage Kharis Publishing in their next project.

John Telman

Author: The Book of Easy Answer

After checking out their website and seeing that they support orphanages in Africa I was delighted and said yes! From the beginning I felt so welcomed and heard. They included me in every step of the process and responded to all my emails in a timely manner. It was such an efficient process. I had never written a book before and they were very patient and kind to me as I embarked on a new endeavor. I am beyond happy that I agreed to join Kharis Publishing!

Hali Swatzell

Author: After All I've Been Through

“Kharis Publishing allowed me to deliver my message to the world! While I received two other publishing offers, I decided to publish my book with Kharis because they simplified the process, allowed me freedom in all aspects of the process, and I wanted to participate in their support of magnificent social causes around the world. Thank you Kharis for believing in me and my message!”

Stephen D’Angelo

Author: A Single Day of Peace

As a first-time author with a desire to share my thoughts on a reimagined and important vision of missional leadership to a wider audience, Kharis Publishing was a great blessing to work with. They gave me my first opportunity to be a published author, they walked with me through the process very patiently, and they bent over backwards to answer my questions and concerns. They went the extra mile to present my book as a legitimate and worthwhile read. I am so grateful for my experience working with such great people.

Lee A. Carter

Author: Leadership-in-Community

Kharis Publishing has been a blessing to me by giving me the opportunity to publish my testimony of God’s life changing truth in “Called to Truth”. They beautifully designed the cover of the accompanying study guide “Your Journey to Truth” to portray my heart for the book

Denise White

Author: "Your Journey to Truth" and "Called to Truth"

I submitted my writing to a Christian book proposal website. Kharis Publishing found my manuscript and contacted me. I had not heard of Kharis but they have made me feel a part of them from the beginning. They took time with me and patiently explained every step to me and answered all of my questions promptly. They allowed me to be a part of the whole process. I also love their book/library program in Africa. So happy to be a part of it! I am excited to be a part of the Kharis Publishing Family!

Is IMPRINTOS - the business imprint - more suitable for you?

If your book is not entirely Christian in nature but simply a leadership, self-help, or business manuscript, then, you may want to consider Imprintos, the business imprint of Kharis Publishing group. Imprintos is a leading publishing and distribution house dedicated entirely to helping leaders, executives, and influencers publish their book, amplify their voice in print, and document their legacy for the next generation. As with all Kharis Publishing imprints, Imprintos will donate a portion of its proceeds to build resource centers or mini-libraries for orphanages in developing countries, so that those kids may learn to read, dream, and grow.

Imprintos offers the Traditional Publishing model, which means that there is no out-of-pocket cost to the author to publish, distribute, and promote their book. But this requires authors to purchase some copies of their books for personal promotional use during the initial press run – a great option for leaders, coaches, influencers, and motivational speakers.

A major distinctive of Imprintos is that you will be assigned to a national book PR agent who works with you for media placements – TV, radio, podcast, blogs, and print media. This is an improtant service that has made Imprintos attractive to leaders, executives, and influencers who want to grow their brand in addition to selling their books.

For limited time, Imprintos is currently accepting unsolicited un-agented submissions through their website, with a focus on nonfiction (leadership, business, self-help, memoirs, health and wellness). Visit Imprintos submission guidelines here to learn whether your manuscript is a good fit.
