Manuscript Submissions
Does Harvest House Publishers accept manuscript submissions?
Thank you for your interest in Harvest House Publishers, we do not accept unsolicited manuscripts, proposals, or self-published books—“unsolicited” as in all works that have not been requested for review by Harvest House—but there are many other avenues to assist you.
The Writers edge
Here’s how it works: You submit up to three chapters and our editors evaluate what you send, knowing what publishers are looking for. If you make the cut, your submission to us will go into our monthly newsletter to approximately 75 participating Christian publishers on our mailing list. If you do not make the cut, you will still get back information from your editor as to why and suggestions on how to improve your manuscript. Go to www.writersedgeservice.com for more information and how to subscribe.
American Christian Writers
American Christian Writers has much to offer regarding classes, conferences (a great place to meet editors face to face), critique services, correspondence courses, marketing information and more. Their website is located at ACWriters.com; phone number is 800-21-WRITE or email ACWriters@aol.com.
Xulon Press
If you are interested in self-publishing, you might consider Essence Publishing at Essence-Publishing.com, or Xulon Press at Xulon Press. These companies are reputable with high quality standards for their book products.
Keep in mind that Harvest House is only one of many Christian publishing houses, and opinions and programs vary from publisher to publisher. We encourage you to keep trying and suggest that you attend at least one Christian writer’s conference a year. It’s a great way to meet fellow writers and to speak with editors one on one.
Again, we appreciate your thinking of Harvest House in connection with your work, and we wish you success in your literary endeavors
