Our Advantage
WinePress Publishing has been serving the Christian writing and publishing community since 1991—that's over 20 years of experience. So here are 20 practical advantages you'll receive from working with us:
Partnering with independent authors to self-publish quality books requires a special set of skills and a well-developed, interactive process. WinePress was established in 1991 and we have consistently invested and innovated in our core services since then.
2. Your book will have the same quality as the best royalty published books.
"In an industry where subsidy-publishing used to have a negative connotation, it was WinePress that brought the quality and professionalism to the job that gives it its current status as a positive and viable option for writers. You can expect a WinePress book to have the same quality and attention to detail that you will find with the best royalty publishers."
--Sally Stuart, author of The Christian Writers' Market Guide.
