Christian Self-Publishing

If you’re like most Christian authors, you’re looking for an affordable, hassle-free way to make your publishing dream a reality! Unfortunately, the reality of the traditional publishing industry is that it is both costly and exclusive. Unlike traditional publishing houses, self-publishing offers you the rare opportunity to retain creative control of your book, resulting in a higher-quality, above-par product.

While self-publishing requires the author to undertake the costs associated with publication, distribution, and marketing of their Christian book, the good news is the author keeps 100% of ALL sales profits. As such, royalties incurred from self-published books will be significantly higher than those from books released by mainstream publishers. And, unlike traditional publishing houses, when you self-publish a book there is no obligation on the part of an author to buy copies of their book. You can reach a readership of thousands through our distribution network without having to purchase large quantities of your book!

Xulon Press was founded in 2000 with the vision that self-published authors should have an easier way to get their books noticed. Since its inception, Xulon Press has become the fastest growing self-publisher of Christian books in the world, having released more than 10,000 individual book titles.
