Before You Publish: The 10 Costly Myths Every Christian Author Needs to Know

Before you publish your book, you need to know the truth that no one else is telling you.

The way you publish matters more than most authors realize. Without the right support, it’s easy to fall into costly traps that slow you down or sideline your message.

Hi, I’m Athena Dean Holtz, founder of Redemption Press.

I’ve spent nearly 40 years inside Christian publishing, and I’ve seen behind the curtain.

I’ve watched aspiring authors fall into traps they didn’t even know existed:

✅ Partnering with the wrong publisher
✅ Wasting thousands of dollars on unnecessary services
✅ Signing away rights they should have kept
✅ Believing marketing myths that leave their books buried in obscurity
✅ And worst of all... watching their God-given message die before it ever reaches the people who need it most

It doesn’t have to be that way.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • “I’m not sure if self-publishing is really credible.”

  • “If I go with a traditional publisher, they’ll handle the marketing for me.”

  • “I’ll just put it on Amazon and hope for the best”
