Once you have a manuscript ready for publication, the next step is to find a publisher.
Below is a list of Catholic publishers and their guidelines for manuscript submissions:
Rafka Press
“Uplifting Families – One Book at a Time”
This press publishes a range of fiction and nonfiction books and is currently seeking quality children’s books. Authors should submit a query letter and synopsis.
Emmaus Road Publishing
This nonfiction publisher produces Scripture- and Tradition-based Catholic resources for laity and clergy
Ave Maria Press
This very selective press publishes spiritual nonfiction and educational books for Catholics and Catholic institutions.
Ignatius Press
This well-known Catholic press emphasizes that it is not seeking fiction, children’s books, poetry, prayer books, or pamphlets. Submission guidelines are very precise, and require manuscripts to be “carefully proofread” before submission.
The Catholic University of America Press
Catholic Book Publishing Corp.
Pro Ecclesia: A Journal of Catholic and Evangelical Theology
Remember, to increase your work’s chance of acceptance, be sure your manuscript is in the best shape possible before you submit it. A final professional proofread is always recommended!
