Ark House is one of the world’s leading Christian-owned and operated book publishers. We're committed to helping you turn your dream of becoming an author into reality. As an Ark House author, you'll benefit from unparalleled exposure—an essential element in successfully marketing and selling your book. Publishing your book is only half the job. Promoting it is an entirely different proposition.

OUR PUBLISHING PROCESS

Every submission we receive goes through our initial assessment process. At the end of this process, we will have one of 3 options for you:

1. FULL CONTRACT

Yes, we offer full contracts. This is generally reserved for more experienced authors with a sales history, or those with a platform from which to promote their books.

2. CO-PUBLISHING

Ideal for first-time or lesser-known authors, our co-publishing division is designed to help new voices enter the market with confidence. It provides the strength of a respected imprint, while allowing authors to retain full rights and ownership of their work. For more experienced or technical authors who prefer to manage their own distribution, our new self-managed distribution model offers the flexibility and control they need. Learn more.

3. SELF PUBLISHING

Ark House is not a self publishing company, however we do have the ability to self publish for books that fall outside of our publishing scope. These books still utilize our experienced production team and are managed by our Author Now division.

So unless your circumstances are extraordinary, we work with 95% of the submissions we receive. We believe that the world’s next best Christian authors cannot be found if they are not given a chance.

THE POWER OF YOUR IMPRINT

As an author, the brand on your book speaks volumes for your credibility. You need to be seen to be a respected author, but if you have a self published logo on your book and links to a website that just advertises packages, your ‘cred’ is immediately lost. Ark House authors have a trusted, professional publisher that’s been around for two decades.

WHAT CAN WE DO FOR YOU?

We’re here to bring new authors – and existing authors – to market.

  • We manage the entire process for you, taking the stress out.

  • We’re focused on Christian authors with an uplifting message.

  • Ark House is part of Initiate Media, a global Christian media company.

UNPARALLELED MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES

When you publish with Ark House, we do more than just produce and distribute your book. We utilize our media assets to get you real exposure with Christian readers, leading to greater book sales.

ENOUGH FROM US.
WHAT DO OUR AUTHORS THINK?

I am so thankful that I was referred to Ark House! I have worked with several publishers, some more widely known than others, but I have never received the kind of investment of time, care and resources as Ark House provides. THANK YOU! I did not anticipate the strikingly varied ways in which my book is presented in MyChristianDaily.com, Soulpurposemag.com, and ChristianWoman.co. And thank you again for your graciousness towards me in allowing me to benefit from your extraordinary means of publicity now, instead of later. I am most honored to have my book, Living Missionally Beyond Sunday, published by Ark House.

I want to record my appreciation to everyone, and especially Nicole and James, for making the production of this little book, my fifth, such an encouraging and effortless process. Thank you all for the work you have put into bringing my small volume to fruition. As I have mentioned previously, this will be my fifth book of which the fourth was also in three editions and two translations, so I can say with some past experience that I am really delighted with the way it has turned out. It has been a great pleasure to work with a Christian media organisation that walks its talk. Dealings with large international publishing houses are not always of this standard.

Wonderful news: the first delivery of books arrived yesterday. It was a tad emotional for me (not so for the Fedex man!) as it has been over ten years in the making. I am so pleased with the final product and could not praise Ark House Press and their care and professionalism enough. Many, many thanks.

Thank you so very much. My book looks great! Everyone has been so very helpful. It has been a big process, but it has also been incredibly exciting... It would have remained a beautiful manuscript in my home, but all of the team at Ark House has given my story wings. I am so very thankful.

To the brilliant team at Ark House, I want to thank you all for making the dream of my book a reality.

You have all been amazing to work with.
