Christian Activities Publications publisher, Kathryn E. Darden, announced that ChristianActivities.com has joined forces with a Nashville publishing company to help unpublished Christian authors bring their books to fruition. Through a relationship with book sellers like Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, and Books A Million, and through Christian Activities’ contacts in the Christian community, authors will now have the opportunity to be published and marketed in both the secular and Christian communities for affordable rates.
Thousands of authors have self-published successful books. In fact, the digital revolution has made it easy to turn your word processing file into a professional, bookstore quality book. One technology that makes this possible is “print on demand.” The digital file of your book is stored electronically and books are printed individually to fill customer orders. There is no longer a need to inventory thousands of books in order for you to get a reasonable per copy book price.
The struggle to get your work accepted by a traditional publishing house can be overwhelming. Authors can experience seemingly endless submissions to editors whose reasons for rejection may have nothing to do with the quality of work. Traditional self-publishing can offer a solution, but requires buying and storing hundreds or even thousands of copies of your book. However, self-publishing with our print-on-demand services allows you to maintain your editorial integrity without having to invest in an inventory of pre-printed books.

What does the new Christian Activities arrangement offer?
Becoming a self-published author can be an intimidating process as you weave your way through choices regarding production, marketing, and distribution of your book.
We can help guide you through the difficult process of deciding on the very best size, style and format for your book. These are production and marketing elements that make the difference between a bookstore quality book and a home copy center production. It is critically important to Christian Activities to make sure that your book is of the highest quality possible so that your creativity leads to a book you can be proud to have written!
By combining the resources of Christian Activities Publications with a local publishing company, we can offer authors of Christian books all the services of self-publishing plus some or all of the following:
