Christian Authors! - Do
you have a published or unpublished manuscript you would like to see spreading
God’s uplifting spirit? We gladly solicit manuscripts from Christian
writers.
If your manuscript is either explicitly, or implicitly, based on Christian faith
and has a plot about Christian life, evangelism, or conversion stories, we would
like to see it. Your plot can be directly religious, symbolic, or allegorical.
Your manuscript will be given personal and prompt attention. If your story will uplift the Christian spirit, we would like
to see it.
We are looking for manuscripts that confront contemporary
issues, where Christian faith is tested by the challenges of the real world.
Stories where the reader comes away with a stronger sense of spirituality. If you have a
manuscript that you worked hard to complete and if you feel it is time for you
to use the gift God has given you to spread the word (1 Timothy. 4:14-16; 2
Timothy, 2:15; 1 Peter 4:10-11, Psalms 102:18), we anxiously look forward to
receiving your work. We are
looking for, even the simplest story, that can bring a new awareness to readers
and perhaps lift a heart or turn a life around.
Often Christian writers can find
no other way to get his/her first manuscript published other than using one of the great
online self-publishing press houses. Even though this is an admirable way to
get your manuscript in print, it is not enough to just have your book in print
at Amazon and Borders, you must have a marketing plan and work it. The cold
hard truth is that a book is like any product that is sold for cash. It must be
marketed and promoted in order to sell. You must have a service to pick up when
the press house finishes delivering their advertising package that you
purchased. We can work with your press house to make the best utilization of
your package and set-up your personal Marketing Plan with Donna Coffen,
Literary Agent/Publicist that will take you beyond the press house package. At
Donna Coffen, Literary Agent/Publicist, we limit the number of manuscripts
accepted yearly, in each of the Christian genres, so that your work receives the
individual attention it deserves. We strive hard to get your manuscript, or
novel, into the hands of the traditional Christian publishing houses. If we
accept your manuscript, we will work on an individual basis for pricing of our
services.

will clearly define the services we propose to promote your work. Your
