Also, we have an A+ rating from the BBB. Here’s a link to our profile with reviews.

That story is told in Athena’s memoir, Full Circle: Coming Home to the Faithfulness of God, and the book is offered for free to authors considering publishing with us. Redemption Press is firmly in the hands of a solidly experienced and professional leadership and strives to be the best at what we do for the glory of God. We are accountable to Him for the honesty, integrity, and quality of our work.

For books that have already been in print and are not undergoing any changes other than a new ISBN and publisher name, the average turnaround time is between four and eight weeks. For books that include editing, illustrations, special formatting, or other non-standard work, the timeline will be extended. A normal turnaround time with editing and formatting runs from six to eight months depending on a variety of issues.

Redemption Press is not a “fast food” publisher. We never compromise on quality for the sake of speed. If you want to speed things up, however, a quality-controlled, fast-track option may be available.

Your cover is printed on a high-quality laminated cover stock, with a matte or gloss finish, in vivid colors. Please call us if you are interested in receiving samples.

What most people don’t realize is that a traditional publisher usually takes up to two years to publish a book, and the author is involved in the process to some degree, but has no control whatsoever.

Because we are your partner, we walk you through the entire process, and you have much more control and input than with a traditional publisher. Perhaps most importantly, you retain all rights to your book when you publish through us (see below).

We offer three publishing imprints with varying levels of services, so authors may select the services which best meet their needs, with the guidance of professionals in the Christian publishing industry.

We have published books in Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Korean, and German. Due to the complex issues that arise with foreign language fonts and formatting, there is an extra charge for books published in languages other than English or Spanish.

You will notice that certain benefits are only offered to authors who choose the more rigorous levels of editing required with the Redemption Press imprint because we believe that all books benefit from—and need—editing.

Don’t worry, many of our staff are writers themselves so we understand this can be a sensitive area! However, we are obligated to give you the very best advice we can, and so we need to emphasize the huge benefits that the editing process offers. Once they see how quality editing raises the quality of their books, most authors are grateful for this gentle, yet honest, approach. Books that are published, and not simply printed, need to be edited.

We want to provide you with a book that you are proud to hand to your ministry, family, and friends.

If you want to purchase copies of your own book—to take to a speaking engagement or some other function, for example—you will receive a significant discount depending on how many you purchase. To get an author discount, the minimum order is only five books.

Yes. From a theological viewpoint, we might be considered Bible-based, following the Apostles’ Creed as a framework for acceptable doctrine. We publish a wide spectrum of material for Christian authors but do not publish for authors adhering to Mormon (LDS) or Jehovah’s Witness doctrine or espousing new age spirituality. Our imprints address the level of editing a must book undergo.

Some people mistakenly suggest that whoever owns the ISBN also owns the rights to your book. This is false. We own the ISBN purely as a convenience for our authors, and you retain the rights to your book.

We believe that making our books returnable provides a considerable benefit to our authors. However, an author may request in writing to opt out of this advantageous arrangement.
