Our History
Chaplain Publishing was established in the Spring of 2006 to help novice and experienced authors finish their book projects by seeing them professionally edited, formatted, printed, bound, and available for distribution. My goal is to publish high-quality print material that brings glory and honor to God and reflects the best in scholarship and entertainment.
How We Are Different
Chaplain Publishing is unique in that we can do short runs. This can save authors thousands of dollars because you can print only those copies you need. When those books sell, you can order more. We can accommodate a variety of trim sizes and will work with you to make sure you are pleased with your project. After all, this is YOUR book.
Chaplain Publishing is selective in the books we choose to print. We endeavor to present a finished product that will make the author proud and will honor the Lord. If you have a book that you think we might be interested in, please click on the link below and we will review your submission and get back to you very soon.

Frequently Asked Question's
We specialize in Christian books. While the theme of each of our books doesn’t have to be spiritual, we will never publish a book that would reflect negatively on Christ. We have published books in all genres such as historical fiction, graphic novels, poetry anthologies, historical books, and children’s books.
I will review the book to make sure the content conforms to our company’s mission and vision. I will then work with the author to come up with a publication plan and discuss pricing. If we agree on these things, then we will proceed with publishing your book.
There is very little up-front cost associated with our business model. We have different packages available so an author can customize their publishing experience. If your book is ready to go without major modifications, then you will pay only $200 plus the costs of printing. If you need more assistance with your book such as editing and layout, then you will have the option of paying us to do those things or finding your own professionals to do it for you. Either way, you will be paying much less than at other publishing companies. The difference is that we want our authors to keep writing and publishing with us, so we treat them right.
You should know within a matter of a few weeks if your book is accepted for publication or not depending on the length of the book.
When we have the final manuscript in our possession, it will take a couple of weeks to format it for printing. We will print out a review copy that you can look over. Any necessary changes will be made and your book will be printed. If you make changes and review your copy in a timely manner, the entire process could take less than 2 months.
After you pay Chaplain for the printing costs of the copies you want to purchase, any sales that you make are yours to keep. You will purchase an initial supply of books from us and you can keep any and all profits from the sale of those books. This allows the author maximum flexibility. If you want to give books away as gifts or for publicity purposes, you can do so. If you want to sell your books by hand or on your own websites, you get to keep all of those profits. When you run out of your initial printing, you can contact us to order more books.
In addition to the amount you make on the books you personally sell, you will also make royalties from books sold by the publisher. After your first 100 books sell, you will make royalties on every sale of your book made by Chaplain Publishing equal to the percentage outlined in the package you choose. These royalties are calculated on the sales price received by the publisher. You will receive a check every time your royalties reach $25.00.
