Kharis Publishing Submission Guidelines

Kharis Publishing Submission Guidelines, among other Christian Publishers, provide clear steps for faith-driven authors to submit their manuscripts to a leading Christian and inspirational book publisher. We help pastors, coaches, professionals, and first-time writers bring their stories to the world without the obstacles of traditional publishing.

For nearly a decade, Kharis Publishing has offered an innovative platform that combines the quality of traditional publishing with the flexibility of digital distribution—completely free for the author. We accept unsolicited submissions in categories such as Christian, faith-based, inspirational, self-help, memoirs, health & wellness, business, and family-friendly fiction.

How to Publish with Kharis

Author Partnership

Kharis Publishing may not be the right fit for every author. As an independent publisher operating a royalty-based model, we take major risks in acquiring, publishing, and distributing your book at no upfront cost to you. Therefore, we are looking for a certain kind of author. Kharis Publishing platform is BEST for: 

1

Authors with inspirational or faith-based messages that are non-contradictory to a conservative Christian worldview, whether "Christian" or not. After all, we acquire self-help, business, memoirs, Christian, health and wellness manuscripts. All we ask is that your focus to be solely on giving value to the reader, and not merely to make any political or social points.

2

Authors, such as professionals, motivational speakers, coaches, influencers, leaders, or patsors, who have some form of following and need a partner to publish and distribute their message to their followers and a wider reading audience.

3

Authors who are willing to participate in joint promotional efforts, including readiness to do media interviews.

Kharis Publishing is NOT for you if:

1

You are unwilling or unable to put in the effort to make your book successful or if you believe that once a publisher acquires your book, your job is completely done;

2

If you have reservation against print-on-demand (POD) technology. We proudly combine the benefits of traditional publishing with print-on-demand technology to meet distribution demands worldwide and save warehousing cost at the same time. Even the biggest publishers in the world now use POD to keep books perpetually in print

Submission Guidelines

For a limited time, we are accepting unsolicited, un-agented, submissions. Our current focus is on faith and inspirational/motivational content. Women, minority writers, first-time authors, pastors, and business leaders are encouraged to submit query. Children Books? Only if you have illustrations ready.

Fiction? Yes, only if it is family-friendly, and has a unique selling point. Absoluetly no adult-rated content in any form.

To submit a query, you must follow these simple steps:

  1. Read about the author partnership above and then send a query. If we are interested in your work, we will request a full proposal.
  2. DO NOT send your full manuscript until one of our acquisition editors specifically asks for it.
  3. Your manuscript must have received initial professional editing and be polished before it gets to us.
