All About Chaplain Publishing

Our History

Chaplain Publishing was established in the Spring of 2006 to help novice and experienced authors finish their book projects by seeing them professionally edited, formatted, printed, bound, and available for distribution. My goal is to publish high-quality print material that brings glory and honor to God and reflects the best in scholarship and entertainment.

How We Are Different

Chaplain Publishing is unique in that we can do short runs. This can save authors thousands of dollars because you can print only those copies you need. When those books sell, you can order more. We can accommodate a variety of trim sizes and will work with you to make sure you are pleased with your project. After all, this is YOUR book.

Chaplain Publishing is selective in the books we choose to print. We endeavor to present a finished product that will make the author proud and will honor the Lord.

Testimonials

“I want to thank you for your help and encouragement for Keela as she fulfilled her dream of publishing her first book. She has been so inspired by the process that she is planning a sequel.”

Tracey Cooper

“We had 400 people come to my book signing, and I sold 200 books in one day! It was amazing. Thank you for all your help.”

Ron Fulenwider

“Because Chaplain keeps their costs low, I can order small shipments of my book as needed rather than having to buy large quantities to qualify for a discount. A simple text to Christi and my next batch of books are on their way. Thanks Chaplain for giving me the time to keep writing rather than worrying about the details of the print process.”

Kandy Persall

“Thank you again for all your work on my book. I am absolutely thrilled with the cover, and now I have a record I will be proud of for the rest of my life!”

Dwight Crenshaw

“I would without hesitation publish again with Christi and Chaplain. Christi was always prompt with answering any questions I had during the publishing progression. Also, Christi was very efficient in filling multiple bulk orders when I requested them. I have consistently received books on time to take to various speaking events with me even when I was last minute in making the order request. That I REALLY appreciate!”

Frequently Asked Question's

We specialize in Christian books. While the theme of each of our books doesn’t have to be spiritual, we will never publish a book that would reflect negatively on Christ. We have published books in all genres such as historical fiction, graphic novels, poetry anthologies, historical books, and children’s books.

I will review the book to make sure the content conforms to our company’s mission and vision. I will then work with the author to come up with a publication plan and discuss pricing. If we agree on these things, then we will proceed with publishing your book.

There is very little up-front cost associated with our business model. We have different packages available so an author can customize their publishing experience. If your book is ready to go without major modifications, then you will pay only $200 plus the costs of printing. If you need more assistance with your book such as editing and layout, then you will have the option of paying us to do those things or finding your own professionals to do it for you. Either way, you will be paying much less than at other publishing companies. The difference is that we want our authors to keep writing and publishing with us, so we treat them right.

You should know within a matter of a few weeks if your book is accepted for publication or not depending on the length of the book.

When we have the final manuscript in our possession, it will take a couple of weeks to format it for printing. We will print out a review copy that you can look over. Any necessary changes will be made and your book will be printed. If you make changes and review your copy in a timely manner, the entire process could take less than 2 months.

After you pay Chaplain for the printing costs of the copies you want to purchase, any sales that you make are yours to keep. You will purchase an initial supply of books from us and you can keep any and all profits from the sale of those books. This allows the author maximum flexibility. If you want to give books away as gifts or for publicity purposes, you can do so. If you want to sell your books by hand or on your own websites, you get to keep all of those profits. When you run out of your initial printing, you can contact us to order more books.

In addition to the amount you make on the books you personally sell, you will also make royalties from books sold by the publisher. After your first 100 books sell, you will make royalties on every sale of your book made by Chaplain Publishing equal to the percentage outlined in the package you choose. These royalties are calculated on the sales price received by the publisher. You will receive a check every time your royalties reach $25.00.
