A NEW WAY TO PUBLISH

Of all manuscripts presented to publishers every year, 97-99% are rejected. And of the percentage that are accepted, it is estimated that only 15% of them are promoted well enough to receive notability. But, it doesn’t have to be that way!

As a publishing company we are passionate about helping authors succeed. We want to share our knowledge regarding marketing and promotion and walk alongside you as you learn the business end of publishing. If you are the author of a quality, doctrinally sound Christian book and want to effectively publish and promote your work at a pleasingly minimal cost, discover what Assurance Books can do for you.   Learn more...

About Us

We are a new publishing company with a passion to help people take another step in their spiritual experience. Some may already be serious believers and others still “on the way” towards a personal relationship with Christ. We want to offer individuals in America and throughout the world premier Christian books.

Our first book, Assured of Heaven: Defeating Doubts and Confirming Certainty, says a lot about our commitment. This is a book which fills an area where little has been written. It describes a journey the author was on for years and came through with certainty. At the same time, perhaps the majority of people have doubts which range from a fleeting doubt to an obsessive doubt.

Statistics vary, but the latest we have is about 97-99% books submitted to publishers are turned down. Some of these should be published! Some are later chosen by another publisher and become best sellers, often with the author receiving only about 5% of the wholesale price on paperbacks. With Assurance Books, the author—not the publisher—owns the book and receives the profit.

More math. With traditional publishers, 85% of books do not recover the initial investment needed to publish and 80% sell less than 100 copies per year. Unfortunately, this is a possible scenario even for your good book. Could it be that if you were in charge, you would have more money to vigorously promote your book?

Another issue is that often a book is only kept in print for 2 or 3 years. With Assurance Books the author can keep it in print as long as desired.

While the author of our first book had a full service publisher who wanted this book, he decided not to use them. Rather he chose to publish through Assurance Books. This author has been published before by two major publishers and found the marketing weak. Apparently, this is a growing trend.

When you spend valuable time and energy writing a book, you want to get it into the hands of as many readers as you can. We can help you accomplish that goal.
