Enumclaw, Wash., December 12, 2018—Redemption Press, an industry leader in independent Christian publishing is now offering exclusive foreign rights representation to its authors and the Christian “indie” community. Publisher Athena Dean Holtz said, “Because we believe in publishing books that can compete with traditionally published books in every way, our books have the quality needed to attract global rights buyers.” In their new “Give Your Message Wings” service, the Marketing Department of Redemption Press works directly with their foreign rights agency partner to market and negotiate rights with publishers in more than 120 countries and 80 languages.
Since all Redemption Press authors control their foreign language / translation rights they are free to license them to any publisher. The benefit of having a publisher such as Redemption handle this is the 25 + years of experience their foreign rights partner brings in negotiating rights contracts with publishers across the globe, their intimate knowledge of the markets, and solid relationships with reputable traditional publishers in each foreign market. Plus, Redemption Press helps to collect and distribute all royalties and advances back to its authors.
Redemption Press is a Christian-owned-and-operated hybrid publishing company. Located in Washington State, their business model promotes excellence in independent publishing services, uses the project management style of traditional publishing, and also offers coaching services and a wide array of professional editing and book production.
I’ve been around Christian publishing since 1987 when I helped our ministry self-publish an important resource for Vietnam veterans and their families. That book went on to be picked up by a royalty publisher and has since sold over 250,000 copies with a million in print.
