Thank you so much for your valuable service. Not only did I benefit from the coaching session, it sparked renewed enthusiasm for writing. Kirkdale Press, Division of Logos, offered me a contract to publish my novel, “The Church Sign.” They found me on your website and will be publishing it as an eBook only, but it is NOT self-published. Woo hoo! So, I’ll be putting future book proposals on your site and continuing to tell every writer I know about this valuable service. Thanks so much!

I have signed with a royalty-only publisher through the help of christianmanuscriptsubmission.com. Due to my inexperience as a writer, I had already self-published this book in 2009 without even querying. I started working with CMS in early 2010, and with Jenni’s encouragement I completed the proposal later that year. Even if I had never been royalty published, the price of CMS’ services was well worth what I learned during the critique and edit.
Near the end of my six months in your database, an acquisition editor from Logos contacted me regarding working under their new trade publishing arm, Kirkdale Press. As of last week, they had three authors under contract, including me. I’m very grateful to CMS, DCJacobson, and Logos!

Now that I have my book in hand, I must say that it turned out far better than I had any right to think it would. Because of your skilled staff and your own encouragement, I am simply amazed at what we have all produced by working together, and I want to include Rachel in that. What an absolute blessing it has been working with you guys. I can’t remember a single rough spot or disappointment in all our communications. If there is any way I can sing your praises in a way that would make a difference, please let me know. This book is a much better book than the one I submitted to you-all a year and a half ago. Thank you Deep River Books!

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ! (1 Corinthians 15:57) I thank God and ChristianManuscriptSubmissions.com for connecting me to Discovery House Publishers. I tried another review service and the single reviewer liked my book, but couldn’t recommend it to be included it in their listings to publishers. For the same fee with ChristianManuscriptSubmissions.com I was able to write my own proposal and trust God with the results. I must admit that I had very little faith in hearing from a publisher, but God rewards mustard seed sized faith and Discovery House saw my proposal and liked it. I highly recommend your service.

When you are a new, un-agented writer, getting a manuscript or even a proposal reading by a well-known publishing house can be extremely difficult. The Christian Manuscript Submissions Service bridged the distance between me and trusted publishing houses by providing a meeting ground that was truly the starting point for my career as a novelist. Since being discovered on this web site in 2003, I have written five books for Harvest House and am currently contracted for four more.

With approximately 1,200 queries, proposals, and manuscripts arriving annually, it’s a tedious task wading through them in search of the 2% that actually fit our publishing program. That’s why referring unsolicited submissions to CMS is the most efficient, cost-effective way for first-time authors to share their work with members of the ECPA, and for publishers to find exactly what they’re looking for. Everybody wins.
