Publishing Opportunities with CrossBooks: More Options for More Authors

We took the best of traditional publishing from LifeWay and combined it with the best of self-publishing to break down the barriers typically associated with traditional publishing and utilize the latest in publishing and printing technologies. As pioneers in the fusion of the traditional and self-publishing models, there are new opportunities for Christian writers to consider with CrossBooks. Whether your goals are to market your book on a national scale, or to print a small number of workbooks for a Bible study, our professionals will find a solution for you. Our new publishing style can provide CrossBooks authors the following competitive advantages:

• Association with a LifeWay Christian Resources. Rest assured that CrossBooks is a trusted Christian publishing company in both writing and message.
• Exposure of your title to traditional publisher B&H Publishing Group. Representatives from B&H Publishing Group, LifeWay's traditional publishing division, search CrossBooks titles for the next emerging author to sign with the traditional brand.
• Potential to be carried by LifeWay Christian Stores. Our representatives actively promote CrossBooks titles to the 154 LifeWay Christian Stores across the United States.
• Theological Review ensures a sound Christian message. Each manuscript submitted to CrossBooks undergoes a Theological Review to ensure the material is theologically sound and adheres to our Statement of Faith.
• Volume Discounts for Authors. Order 100 or more copies of your book to receive substantial volume discounts
• Retain Ownership of Your Book Content. After publishing your book with CrossBooks, you continue to own the copyright to your material giving you ultimate control over your book’s content.
• Ability to share your story, enrich your ministry and help others. Our partnership-publishing solution allows you the freedom and opportunity to publish your book on your terms and schedule

CrossBooks Is Not Just Another Self-Publishing Company

While we do require our authors to invest financially to publish with our company, there are significant differences that distinguish us from a self-publisher, with the major difference being that we do not publish every manuscript submitted. We do regret turning authors away, but since CrossBooks is a division of LifeWay Christian Resources, we are committed to maintaining an established standard that meets both literary expertise and Christian values. Therefore, there are a few guidelines to which our authors' books must adhere:

• Each manuscript must undergo a Theological Review to ensure the material is not in conflict with our Statement of Faith.
• Each manuscript submitted for any package except Classic must meet Editorial Review standards for quality.
• Titles are priced competitively with those books produced by traditional publishers, because CrossBooks guides the author to select a proper retail price.

In addition to the moral and writing standards that our experienced staff enforce, the professional services we provide to our published writers and our thriving Christian community, our mission is to help our authors spread God's messages as well as achieve their own personal goals of success time and time again.
