Over the past five years, I have done an extensive search in an effort to learn more about publishing Christian Poetry. I wanted to find a market for my new book, The Art of Writing Christian Poetry and to locate a source for publishing poems in the future. This has been a journey for me in seeking a way to get published. I hope my experience will help you in your search to be a published author.
First, let’s look at being a published author. There is no real prestige in the idea, unless a publisher that pays you to publish your book has picked you up. That is, to actually be given a check, an advance against royalties, before you are even published. Then to have your book placed in bookstores everywhere. That will most likely never happen for most of us, including me. So don’t get upset or discouraged by it. Just go on with what you are doing and get published another way.
Second, let’s consider some other ways to publish our Christian Poetry. Here’s a list of other ways that I personally investigated over the last 15 years.
v There are many companies that do self-publishing. The Internet is buzzing with them. One of them did my 1st book, Rhyme Time, also in the list of book offers at www.christianpoets.com. They did a great job, leaving me with 1,000 books, most still in boxes in my garage, at a cost of over $2,000. This was 10 years ago. The cost today would be over $5,000 for the same book. I received no marketing or anything except a thank you and 1,000 books. To me, this was not the ideal experience, but I could say I was a published author with an ISBN number and that offered me a great notoriety among the boxes in my garage.
v You can go the route of soliciting a literary agent. I also did that, sending in my book for review to a company in Texas that said it only send inquiries to publishers that pay me for publishing my book. After a few weeks, I received a letter and a contract to represent me. The only hitch was the $300 up front fee that would be paid back to me from their 10% commission, if the book was sold. I don’t think so.
v Another on this list and one that is popular among our poets is the Publish on Demand method. In most cases, I have found that they do what they say, little or nothing. It cost you money. You still do the marketing and they get the lion’s share of the profit. However, I did find one Christian company that is better than most. This is the one I am using, Lifevest Publishing. They have several options to select from in publishing your own book. They will ask you for a list of friends and family to market the book to. They include your book in a spring and fall catalog and give you a home page on their website to display and promote your work. It’s the best deal I have found and the per book cost to you is better than any other company on the market. If you are interested, call Ric Simmons at 877-843-1007. He is in Colorado so watch the time zones and don’t call too early.
v The final way is to do-it-yourself by setting the margins of your word document so you end up with the right size book, type your manuscript, do a cover design and all the rest. Then take the printed version to Office Depot or another copy center and have them copy and spiral bind it into a book. I have also done this method and sold a few books on a publish-on-demand basis. Larger books get really expensive in the per copy cost but for 10 to 15 page booklets, it ok.
A third possibility in getting published is to purchase the Christian Writer’s Market Guide. It cost around $28 and can be found in most well known bookstores. It’s a thick book full of where to send poems, if they pay for them, and so on. List upon lists.
Getting published is easy if you have the money. The hard part is marketing your book. You need to determine the best target audience, design a mailer, rent or develop a list and mail it…all hoping to make a sale. Is it all worth it? I’d say yes, because if you don’t believe in your gifting enough to invest in it, why should anyone else. Another good source is 1001 Ways To Market Your Books by John Kermer, available from Lifevest Publishing.
How do you know if a thousand Christian bookstores will buy your book and sell it to others over and over again? How do you know that God wants to bless you financially through your gift? You don’t until you take that leap of faith and step into the waters of marketing and ministry all wrapped into one big effort.
When all is said and done, getting published is an adventure that takes lots of time, effort and some hard earned cash. It’s worth the trip and can be a great project for the upcoming year.
Until next time

FINDING AN ILLUSTRATOR FOR YOUR BOOK
So you’ve written a book, but you still need illustrations. You’re no artist, so where do you go from here? How do you find someone who is trustworthy, and who will produce what’s promised in the amount of time that was agreed upon, and that their work is of quality and substance?
It can be a very stressful and difficult process to find someone who, not only do you trust to follow through with what was originally planned, but who will produce the quality of work that you have envisioned for your book.
Finding someone whose work is of the substance that you imagined would compliment your book can be a very difficult and very expensive ordeal. For people to whom money is of no consequence, a good idea would be to look at books that have the kind of illustrations you desire, and make efforts to contact the different illustrators to see if they will work with you. You can try to contact the authors of the books as well to verify that the illustrator produced their work in a timely manner, and that the entire process was performed in a satisfactory manner.
Many people, however, do not have the means to secure an expensive illustrator for their book. Many authors are on a budget, and while having quality illustrations is important, this must be done while being conscious of the costs involved. There are a couple of alternatives an author can pursue if caught in a situation such as this. Check with friends and family; maybe there is someone close to you who can produce illustrations similar to what you have in mind, while allowing your budget to stay in place. If you really think about it, there must be someone you know who is artistic, whether they paint, or draw or are just crafty, talk with them to see what options there are to convey what you have in mind.
Another option is to contact your local high school or college; contact an instructor and explain your situation. Perhaps the instructor can recommend a student who is very talented and would be interested in doing the illustrations for a nominal fee; or perhaps let the instructor know that you would like to work with an art student on an internship basis. While no payment for the artwork would be made, you would put their name on the book as the illustrator, and the student would be allowed to put the book on their resume. Also, check with the schools and see if you can post flyers on campus for an art internship; you would most likely receive several responses from talented students, and you would be able to choose who you would like to work with, once again treating the illustrations as a non-paying internship.
Try to be creative in getting the illustrator you want to work on your book; maybe you can arrange payment for the drawings in such a way that instead of paying up front, they receive a percentage of the royalties from your book. By being resourceful, you just might find a way to secure the illustrator that you desire for your book.
After finding the illustrator that you intend to work with, remember that while it is not required to include the illustrations with your manuscript when you turn it in to copyright it, it’s always a good idea. By turning in your book to the copyright office in a form that is as close as possible to the finished product, you are protecting your book fully.
When you turn in your illustrations to the book publisher, it usually makes the publishing process much more affordable if you submit the pictures via email or disc with either the .jpg or .png file name extensions; if this is not possible then the illustrations or pictures can be scanned into the computer, although this usually costs more. The more preparation services you require from the publishing company, the more it usually costs you, so to keep your costs as close the quoted package price as possible, try to get your full manuscript into an electronic form prior to submission.
Remember; while you have ideas of what you would like your book to look like, it’s always a good idea to be flexible. While illustrations may be what you’ve been seeking for your book, you may find it too expensive, but find someone who is willing to do watercolors for a minimal fee. By keeping an open mind, you may find that you end up with a book that is not only visually pleasing, but affordable for you to produce.

FAQs of Independent Publishers
COMMON QUESTIONS FIELDED AMONG INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS
FAQ’s
For people just starting out in the publishing world for the first time, it can be a nerve-wracking and stressful process; however here are some things you should know when going down the road of self-publishing.
DO I NEED TO COPYRIGHT MY BOOK BEFORE IT’S PUBLISHED? HOW DO I DO IT?
Copyrighting your book is essential; this protects you from anyone else using your work, or claiming it as their own. The process of copyrighting your book is simple: just follow the directions on the Library of Congress website; submit your completed application, include a non-returnable copy of your literary work, and pay the $30 fee. You can turn your manuscript in before it is in the final version of the book; as long as the content doesn’t change substantially, then your book will still retain the copyright. You will receive a Certificate of Registration in about four to five months; you do not have to wait until you have the copyright certificate to publish your manuscript, simply give the publishing company a copy of the certificate when it arrives.
DOES THE PUBLISHING PROCESS TAKE A LONG TIME?
Depending on the company, publishing a book with an independent or small press publisher is usually a fairly short process. If your manuscript is complete and edited, you submit your manuscript to the company; they make it into the first draft and ship it out to you so you can check for any mistakes or typos that need to be fixed. The changes that need to be made would be applied, and the process would be repeated one more time, sending you the second draft so you can look it over one last time to ensure the final draft of your book meets your requirements. From the time that you turn in your manuscript, until the time you receive your first draft is approximately three weeks, while the entire publishing process takes only about two to three months; at which point you will be able to sell your book via online booksellers, your own personal webpage, and at major bookstores nationwide, not to mention the hundreds of markets outside of the bookstore arena.
WHAT FORMAT SHOULD MY MANUSCRIPT BE IN WHEN I TURN IT IN TO BE PUBLISHED?
For most independents, your manuscript should be in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, and should be on disc or emailed to the publisher. If you submit the manuscript in the form of a hardcopy, if they even accept it, you will be charged extra for any typing or scanning that needs to be done. Your manuscript will most likely change in the number of pages it is, as it will be formatted with the publisher’s software to fit the size of the book you have chosen.
DO I NEED TO FIND ILLUSTRATIONS OR PICTURES ON MY OWN?
Yes, in most cases, you need to supply the illustrations or pictures you will use; while most publishing companies will help design the cover art and the more complicated layouts of books, most publishing companies do not offer in-house illustrators or illustration services, but most do have artists who they recommend if you are without an illustrator.
HOW CAN I INCLUDE THE ILLUSTRATIONS IN MY BOOK?
It is preferred, and less costly to send your illustrations or pictures via email or disc in either .tif, .jpg or .png file name extensions; if this is not possible then the illustrations or pictures can be scanned into the computer; the graphic designer can then take your illustrations or pictures and put them into the book wherever they need to go.
DO I HAVE TO DO THE EDITING ON MY OWN?
Most publishing companies offer services to help with the production of your book, including grammatical editing, content editing, typing services and scanning of photos and artwork.
HOW IS THE RETAIL PRICE FOR MY BOOK SET?
Most self-publishing companies will allow you to decide how much you want to sell your book for, and thereby, you set the retail price. They can discuss with you how much of a profit you will make with the retail price that you’ve decided on, and make suggestions to help you in your decision.
HOW CAN PEOPLE ORDER MY BOOK?
When you publish a book, it is given an International Serial Book Number, or ISBN. When the publishing company assigns an ISBN to your book; this puts your book into the database known as Books In Print. This also allows people to order your book from any major bookstore nationwide; your book will also be available to major distributors and retailers once the book is listed in Books In Print.
CAN I GET HELP WITH THE MARKETING FOR MY BOOK?
Most independent publishing companies offer different publishing packages. This allows you to choose the package that works best for you, whether you prefer just a simple package that allows you to handle the publicity and marketing yourself, or whether you want a publicity package designed specifically for your book and a regional marketing plan conducted by the publishing company for you, most companies can help figure out which package will work best for you.
CONGRATULATIONS!
These FAQ’s should help you understand the process of publishing your book with an independent publishing company. If you still have questions, most independents are small and enjoy helping writers who are new to the business. And most will be happy to offer advice on which process is best for you. Congratulations on deciding to publish your work, and good luck to you!

Publishing A Children's Book Is Not Elementary, My Dear Watson
In fact, the more you can think like a child, illustrate like Rembrandt, and write with the talent of an experienced adult author, the better off you will be. You see, everyone is writing and publishing a children's book these days, but very few are of the literary quality required to be a successful children's book author, not to mention, saleable in today's competitive book industry, and the latter is where we will focus this article.
Before ever putting the pen (keyboard) to the manuscript, the first thing a writer of any genre needs to determine is: "Who am I writing this for?" And, for those of you up-and-coming children's book authors, the answer is NOT "every child". I speak to authors daily and at least a couple of times a week I hear, "every child should read this story" or "this is a one-of-a-kind children's book."
- NOT! - in both cases.
You must be to be specific. Children come in all ages, all shapes and sizes, all cultural backgrounds, numerous languages, numerous religions, many levels of education, and a multitude of differing economic backgrounds and above all, not all can read - get the point?
First, choose the age group you are targeting - 1 - 3, 4 -5, 6-7, etc. Next, is your book gender specific? In other words, is it primarily for, or about, a boy or girl, or neither. (okay, we are referring to insects, animals, etc.) Are there any cultural, language, religious, or economic barriers which might be crossed or compromised in your story? (You'd be surprised what some cultures and religions consider "unacceptable" that are readily "accepted" by others.)
Once you have your target audience in mind, get real. Of those you believe are your target audience, which ones will actually have access to, or be able to hear or read your story? Now here is the tough part - what makes you think this is reality? Don't get upset or defensive, let's look at an example.
Let's suppose you were lucky enough to get a major bookstore to put your book on their shelves. In this particular store, there are over 5,000 children's books in the children's section of the store. What makes your book different from the other 5,000; what will make a customer choose your book over the other 5,000; and most importantly, what will drive them to your book amongst the other 5,000 books? The true answer to all of these questions is three simple words: publicity, publicity, publicity. But we are not here to talk about marketing or publicity, you'll see an article on that later.
The problem you are dealing with and the questions ask above are all related to your target market. You must be specific about who your book is written for or it becomes just another "one in tens of thousands" of children's books available on the market. You must be specific about who your market is, so you can create a cover that is appealing to that gender, age group, culture, etc. You must be specific about who you are writing the book for, so you know who will be buying it, and how best to approach your potential customers about why your book is different from the rest. You see, if your book is written and published with a 4 - 5 year-old child in mind, who is your real customer?
Surprise! - it is NOT the child. It is their parents, grandparents, another child's parents, possibly a teacher or baby-sitter, etc., but it is NOT the child. You must crack the code on how to get the real customer to think your book is the right book for the child they so dearly care about and will cautiously screen any media, books, or influences which may harm them.
Now, let's go back to the original question: "who am I writing this book for"? (or for those of you who are grammar-hounds: "for whom am I writing this book?" Here are a couple of things which might help:
FOR WHOM AM I WRITING THIS BOOK?
1) Be completely honest with yourself - who is really going to buy your book?
2) Once purchased, who is the reading audience?
3) Does the book have age, culture, religious, or gender boundaries?
4) Will it be seen locally, regionally, or nationwide?
5) If the regionally and nationally, how will it be publicized?
6) Would Oprah like it? :-)
7) Ask friends: "please review my book and tell me who my market is."
Think about this and stay tuned for further articles on writing and publishing a children's book. In the meantime, I'm sure you will agree, "publishing a children's book is NOT elementary, my dear Watson.
