Getting Published By A Christian Publishing Company

By Stephen Lewis


The incidence of inspirational is much more popular now that is used to be. A Christian Publishing Company helps those searching for uplifting material to be able to find it easily. Both the writer and reader can gain from having such work published in one company so they can easily find it.

Both fiction and nonfiction are published by publishers of inspirational works. Nonfiction writers search for publishers who are recognized as working with inspirational works. Both writers and readers wish to be identified with such publishers so others can find their works. These works are primarily for study and academic pursuit, though they are also for reading enjoyment.

Both types of materials can have a very strong Christian focus or only an inspirational one. Whichever, the language and content must have a meaningful purpose, one which will not be an embarrassment to the writer. Language must be used carefully, with no swear words or obviously sexual content. It must be what can be termed appropriate to age 13. This does not mean the content must be simple, but just that the language must be appropriate to that age.

The writing must teach a principle, thus the designation inspirational or religious. Without preaching, a lesson should be taught, using a theme that will appeal to readers of today. The characters should be enjoined in teaching the lesson, and usually one will learn from the other about a Christian concept in which the other is stronger.

Much of fiction in the inspirational realm is romance, but not necessarily all. Even with romance, there may be another aspect, such as historical, comedy, or suspenseful. But, the main underlying focus should be the romance, boy meets girl and falls in love. In some cases there may be a LGBT focus, but not all companies accept this. If you are not sure, it is best to just omit it.

Nonfiction books can have several different purposes. For academics, or clergy, the nonfiction work must teach something that is important to the person. Most of the time, these works are meant to teach an aspect that may not be known or understood by the reader. It requires an in-depth explanation of the concept.

Teaching a personal concept and inspiring a new action is another idea for nonfiction material. The author teaches a practical concept and inspires personal action. The author attempts to aid the reader in making a change as addressed. Though not an academic change is not being address, a change in personal behavior is the purpose of this type of writing or a habit changed or overcome.

Memoirs and historical works are another purpose for nonfiction. Though they are mainly to impart information, there is often great enjoyment. Memoirs are somewhat historical as they let a person discover something about the author. Historical works, though designed to impart information, are often entertaining as well, especially for those who enjoy history. All writing is somewhat for entertainment, regardless of type.
