Submit a manuscript

PrayerShop Publishing is always on the lookout for good manuscripts on prayer. Our special niche are products that work to disciple and grow prayer within the local church. We are interested in raising up kingdom pray-ers who will intercede effectively on behalf of Christ’s kingdom.

To submit materials for review please follow these guidelines:

Product Submission Guidelines

Prayer Shop Publishing is currently looking for book manuscripts, booklets and prayer guides. We are mostly interested in products that will in some way enhance the prayer life of a local church. Products can be written with an average Christian audience in mind, but the goal is to challenge them to become more effective intercessors who focus on the Kingdom.

If you would like to submit a product idea, please include the following in your proposal. If your manuscript is already complete, we ask that you would still complete the proposal. You can send the complete manuscript in to us instead of two sample chapters.

Proposal Items:

  • A one-sentence summary of the purpose of your product
  • A one-page overview of your book
  • A profile of your reader and an explanation of why your book will help the reader
  • Additional audiences your book might attract
  • A listing of other books available that are similar to yours and an explanation of how yours is both different and better
  • Your qualifications to write on this topic and a biography of yourself
  • A chapter-by-chapter outline that summarizes the content and key ideas of each chapter
  • Projected page length and completion date of the manuscript
  • One or two sample chapters
  • A non-binding estimate of how many copies of the product you would buy at the start.

 

Publishing Deals

We have two publishing plans available:

  1. Publisher Risk Contract:

    In this option, like most major publishers, we put up the funds for all publishing costs (editing, design, printing) and take all financial risks. To accept a book under this plan, we need to believe the book will sell enough copies to cover all our costs and be profitable for us. We only give serious consideration if: A. The author will purchase a significant number of copies; B. The author has a significant audience and name recognition that will aid in marketing; or C. The book’s idea and content is so compelling, that it will sell.

  2. Author Risk Contract.

    In this option, the author pays for the publishing costs and in exchange receives a higher royalty per copy sold and more control over its development. In this plan, however, it is likely fewer total books will sell than with the Publisher Risk Plan. This is because more marketing dollars and effort happen in the Publisher’s Risk Plan. 

With either plan, our books are produced in print, e-book and audio formats.
