Christian Faith Publishing

I had called in to ask a question about a book I'm trying to accomplish. A woman by the name of Gloria rudely told me that the phone number is only for their writers guide. She didn't offer to help connect me to anyone that could help me or do anything even remotely kind. For being a christian company I'm pretty disappointed in their customer service.

This company dragged out the book editing for years. They constantly changed the stories in the book making them wrong instead of what actually happened. Then we had to fight for many months to get an electronic copy of the book. They owed us $2000 for the things the failed to do in the contract. However you have to go to their state to even fight it! Very unchristian behavior and morals..

My experience was/is disappointing at best. They insisted I use my alias rather than my birth name. Their editors became more adversarial as the process went on. Their book cover art was poorly done with their initial presentation ludicrous at best and malicious at worst. Getting an accurate accounting of sales is near impossible as direct contact with their financial department is not allowed. My book shows that book stores are ordering hundreds of copies yet reported sales show a couple of dozen with no ebook sales. I don't believe them and there is no way to verify anything. They seem intent to suppress my book because I dared challenge the accepted government line on COVID.

If you have the funds to advertise it might work for you. I did get my book published, but only a few sales. I couldn't say I made a profit because I only earned $5.00, so I didn't make any profit scene I put over $3,000 into the publishing process. I have nothing negative to say about the staff they were all very helpful.

I was told after the book was published that CFP does not submit royalties if the sales is less than $100 anymore. Previously they paid out royalties of $50.00 or more. According to my Author portal my book (Broken Wings) sold 18 books and then 24 at $11.95 that is over $200 each time. Apparently the distributors get the largest percentage and CFP gets $5.00 leaving me with a 3rd quarter amt. of $82.56 just shy of the $100 payout. The book has gotten great reviews from Literary Agencies and the public. Why am I not receiving the royalties for my hard work. Regardless. This is is heartbreaking and not fair to the Authors (me) who anticipated something in return. I will not recommend CFP to anyone. If you wrote your Memoirs for the world to read and you cannot get the residual royalties not matter what your hard work was in vain.

I submitted my book, The Ghost at Abernathy Hill House, for publication and signed my contract in July, 2020. The initial process was slow, but eventually we got thru the various stages. However, it was the end of September, 2020 before I received the edits. I completed the corrections and returned the on October 16. I didn't received the edited copy until the end of October, and I approved the manuscript on November 2. I received the page design review on December 4, and returned approval on December 8. On December 11, I sent a picture and information on my preference for the cover design. I sent several messages to my literary agent regarding the cover, but I did not receive the cover design until April 8, 2021. It was HORRIBLE! Nothing like I suggested. It was May 2021 before I received another cover design. I didn't care for it, still not what I had suggested, but I accepted it so we could move forward. It was June before it went to production, and it was July before I received comp books. It was August before the book was on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. As of this writing, September 9, there has been no change. My book has not been featured on CFP new author or book, On September 1, I received a message that as soon as he hears from the "team", he will be "reaching out with the video trailer and e-Book verification." This contract indicated 6-9 months, but we are going into 15 months, and still no completion of CFPs promises. I have been self-publishing through Amazon for years, and it didn't cost me anything. I have to say, the editing was pathetic. I can run an editing program, which is basically all they did, Page design wasn't exactly eye catching, and the art came from a program, which only required picking a few pictures and putting them together. Not much effort in that. I paid to have better structure in the text, and a front cover that had the "Wow" factor. The agent was a nice guy, and very professional in his words, but he has never been proactive in the process of getting my book published. I am very unhappy with your company, and would love to have my money back, but I know that will never happen. I regret my decision to have CFP publish my book, and definitely will not recommend CFP to anyone I know that writes books.

I love the staff at Christian Faith Publishing but their "Editors," are BEYOND UNINTELLIGENT and Extremely Incompetent. My book required "ten rounds" of editing. A lot of times they wouldn't make the proper corrections, so I had to pay more money or they would take 4 weeks to make 10 corrections. Please, if you are going to publish with this company be prepared to spend an "extra" $1500.00 for a professional editing service. I read a book published by CFP titled: Through the Fire to be on fire. That book had thousands of grammatical errors and spelling errors (I counted 1, 092 errors). If I was the Author of that book, I would sue Christian Faith Publishing for millions of dollars for pain, suffering and public embarrassment.

I’ve been waiting for months and my rep won’t even give me a ballpark based on all the other books they publish. Very frustrating!

Christian Faith Publishing is a fantastic publishing company They operate with integrity and communicate effectively The entire publishing process with them was truly wonderful and I am extremely happy with my bookMy publication specialist was magnificentShe kept me informed throughout the process and I truly appreciate thatI truly recommend Christian Faith Publishing to other authors

I was seeking more than just a publisher who would publish ANYTHINGCFP EXCEEDED with that! I love and appreciate their being selective and choosing only quality books! CFP was personal and professional, they also did a GREAT JOB in the layout of my book! My favorite part of the process was BEING SELECTED and not just being a "paid customer.: That was crucial to my selection! The communication between me and my Publication Specialist was beyond excellent! She was fantastic and really cared about the process!

“I did some on-line investigation into publication, self and companiesI also attended a men\'s meeting where an author, [redacted] , spoke promoting his new book, [redacted] ***I don\'t want to sound more spiritual than I am, but at that point I told the Lord that if the book was for more than just my grand children, He would have to bring me a publisherOne day driving home from a job, I heard Christian Faith Publishing's (CFP) advertisement on a Christian radio broadcastWhen I had finished my first edit of my manuscript, I e-mailed CFP and CFP respondedI would say that the favorite part of the process was receiving the cover designI really appreciate how complete the CFP process or publication package seems to beA lot of the things that would have caused me a lot of time and research to accomplish were taken care of in CFP's packageAll communications, during the publication process have been by e-mail, which is quite acceptable to me since my handy man business leaves my in places no conducive to good communication during business hours (phone contact was available)I would say that CFP has exceeded the over all expectations that were derived from some research and conversations that I have hadAnd, I have recommended CFP's service to othersI have done this because I feel that your contract price and terms are very fair and the CFP package is complete

When looking for a publisher it was very important to me to receive a fair and honest dealIt was also important to me that my ideas would be taken seriouslyI feel CFP was a God send.  After speaking with them on the phone, I had a sense of peace come over me, I knew by this wonderful peace CFP was right for meCFP delivered on every aspect of their promise to meMy favorite part of the process was the book trailerI wanted to use a song I had recorded and written to go along with my book.  They let me use my song, which added so much to the trailer.  Also, I appreciate the hard work the illustrators put into designing my charactersI felt if they could capture the expressions and actions of the characters, this would add so much to the story and they captured this perfectlyI also appreciate the fact CFP took care of all the publicity and the mailing out of the books purchased.  This saved me a lot of timeNicole, my Publication Specialist, was wonderful! Every time I wanted a correction made she made sure it was doneI would highly recommend CFP in the future and I have already given my recommendation to other authors

I greatly enjoyed publishing through CFP! Sarah and Leslie were a dynamic duo that made the entire experience nothing short of amazingI'm grateful for the consistent communication, feedback, wisdom, and friendshipCFP is something special!

Hello [redacted] ,It was great to talk with you todayHere is my release toward Christian Faith Publishing that includes no other actions will be taken against them, after they return my amount of $The author will mention nothing about the Christian Faith Publishing business from this date forward.God bless you, [redacted]

***Author Feedback [redacted] “ [redacted] details the incredible abuse I was forced to endure at the hands of my father from age through age 18, when I left home to join the militaryIt's not your autobiography, but rather a series of notes detailing memories I brought to the attention of the mental health professionals on my Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Treatment TeamPublication of this book was made possible by Christian Faith Publishers and I am extremely grateful to everyone at CFP that assisted in getting this book to market, especially to Sarena G***, my Publication Specialist who has the patience of an angelFrom the time Steve K**, Literary Agent called to indicate my book had been accepted for publication, until Tara A [redacted] , Operations/Finance sent an e-mail outlining the details of my radio interview, it has been an honor to work with the CFP staffEveryone at CFP has done anything and everything humanely possible to ensure I was provided with the very best customer service possibleAll the staff at CFP is very kind, caring and will go out of their way to aid new authors, from the Author Support Department, to the book mailing department, to Joseph ** H***, Vice President of OperationsEach member of the CFP staff I dealt with is committed to providing as much help to the new author as he/she requiresAs a new author I had no idea what qualifications to look for in a publishing companyI liked what I saw on the CFP website and due to the fact, I live on a fixed income, I especially appreciated the fact payments could be spread out over an extended periodHow does someone gauge the favorite part of a process when it comes to publication of your first book? Is it when you’re notified the book has been accepted for publication? Yes! Is it when the editing process is finally completed? Absolutely! Is it when you first look at the incredible cover design prepared by the staff at CFP? Without a doubt! Is it when you receive the book in the mail for your approval and you open the package, see the name of your book, with your name as author with the beautiful cover? You had better believe it! Or, is it when you see the book trailer, when you hear your very first radio interview, or when you open the box of promotional material? It’s not possible for a new author to name a favorite part of the publishing process because all the events are exciting and have the potential to take your breath awayWhen everything is said and done there is one person that you will work with at CFP on a regular basis and that’s your Publication SpecialistAs I already mentioned, my Publication Specialist, Sarena G***, was as good as they getNo matter how uninformed my questions were, Sarena went out of her way to answer the questions as expeditiously and professionally as possibleIn the unlikely event she was unable to answer a question herself, she would immediately turn it over to the department or department head responsible, so they could respondFrom the beginning to the end, Sarena was there for me and I don’t think it would be possible to find a more dedicated Publication SpecialistI’m not sure what sort of expectations other new authors have for their books, but mine are perhaps a bit differentI don’t particularly care if my book makes the New York Times best seller list, or if a movie is made based on the contentsI want my book to be on every individuals desk that deals with children, or adults, so they are totally and completely aware of the horrors that befall youngsters, especially in rural communities, and can aid both children and adults in needI would recommend Christian Faith Publishing to other authors, so they can personally experience the thrill derived from seeing their book in printI am extremely proud of [redacted] and it would not have been at all possible without the Grace of God and Christian Faith Publishers” [redacted]

Initially I had no idea where I would send my manuscript to for publishingBut I believed I would eventually receive divine directionNow that the publishing process has been completed, I believe I truly received divine direction by sending my manuscript to CFP, because the entire publishing process of my book has been a very pleasant experience for meBrian was extremely cooperative and helpfulI will send my other manuscripts to CFP; and I will recommend CFP to my family members and friends

I'm so glad I chose Christian Faith Publishing to publish my children's book, [redacted] They walked me through every step of what was a totally foreign process and provided high quality, professional services such as editing, illustrators, video trailer production, and so much moreI would definitely recommend them to aspiring authors

“When looking for a publisher, I wanted honesty, integrity, experience and professionalismBottom line, I was looking for someone I could trust and who would do a great jobIn CFP I found ALL of this! They could not have been any nicer, any more professional, and any more helpfulLiterally from the very first contact with Donna, then on to Seth, and with every phase of the process it was a pure delight! I am truly amazed at the job they didThe editors were incredibleThe cover design was exactly what I envisioned and even better! The trailer left me in tears of speechless joyThe speed at which everything was accomplished was exceptionalEvery question I had was answered, every need I had was metTruly, CFP far exceeded my expectations and I am truly, truly grateful to the Lord and to each and every one of them I would absolutely recommend CFP to anyone interested in publication.”

My experience with Christian Faith Publishing was a very positive one They believed in the relevance of my son's story and believed it could have a positive impact on the world I am very thankful to them for all that they did for me I wanted the chance to honor my son's life and they gave me, and him, that I was very lucky to have had my book assigned to Barbara She was very patient and helpful She kept me apprised of the status of my book as it moved through the various stages of publishing

Overall, the staff is amazing!! The people I have had the pleasure of working with were kind and encouragingMy time and experience with Christian Faith Publishing was invaluable The only reason I cannot give them stars is because of a few technical issues I had with final printing They did, in the end, correct all that was needed fairly It was the only real issue I had That did not take away from the amazing consultants who personally worked with me and supported me through the entire process I could definitely work with Christian Faith again!
