Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.

To whom it my concern: I was looking for a full service company with a more personal approach when I came across CFP, of which they fulfilled every aspect of and moreI truly did enjoy every part of the projectScott was excellent, and very helpful throughout the entire projectI can honestly say I did not have any issues or misunderstandings throughout the projectIt was my first book and a learning experience, a very good and enjoyable learning experience thanks to Scott and the entire CFP staffI have recommended CFP to a couple friends and will continue to do soThank you again *** ***

I had the pleasure of partnering with Allie through the entire process, She was so helpful, accommodating as well as patient with me every step of the way She always gave me options and suggestions to move the project along to completionEven though there were some minor setbacks along the way, it was a positive experience and I would not hesitate to do it again!!
With gratitude, thanks and appreciation

As a first time author I was concerned about my lack of experience with the publishing world I know from many years as a commission sales man that earning an income is first and foremost on a business person's mind and I know the truth can get lost in the desire to food on the tableIn June of this year I sent them a manuscript for a life long work based on my years of living and learning how to get over the effects of my own child abuse To rid my soul of the misery and pain left for me to deal with in my adult years required a lot of effort on my part and lot of time I didn't have a lot time to waste going through the process of being taken by a shyster business looking to rip me off for money with empty promisesThere are not enough words to describe how I feel dealing with this company This sounds corny to some but I can't put my experiences in any better words than to say this If you are a first time author looking for a company who is sincere in their desire to help you get your story told, regardless of the genre in book form then I cannot recommend these folks highly enough All they ask is for you to be honest with your desires and patient while they learn how to deal with in a common pursuit to be successful with your creation

I chose CFP to self publish a day devotionalDue to the poor editing on CFP's part I had to hire (and spend more money) on the editing process myselfTheir staff is friendly and helpful, but he editing dept leaves MUCH to be desired!

" Thank God for Christian Faith Publishing ( Meadville P.A) Christian Faith made a year
dream come true in my life time, By Publishing -*** *** *** *** *** *** *** (the untold story) Author *** *** * This book will serve as a VOICE AROUND THE WORLD TO HELP OTHERS IN MANY WAYSChristian Faith assigned my workmanship to Alisha - the young lady was great( Coming back to Christian Faith for round # in ) Alisha going to be my agentSo Excited

After hearing a lot of horror stories about getting a book published, I had strong reservations and skepticism when I submitted my manuscript as a first time AuthorA church member and friend named *** *** told me to submit my manuscriptI had a very pleasant experience with a Literary Agent named Donna Cwho welcomed
me to Christian Faith Publishing Company two weeks laterMy Publication Specialist Allie L has been a gem to work withShe told me what would
happen every step of the way and everything she told me came true like clockworkI couldn't ask for a more professional and pleasant person to work withI am in awe of the Editors who make awesome suggestions to improve the content to make authors look better than they normally would if the manuscript went to press without themAllie is supportive and very quick to get back to you with answers to your questions at every stage of publicationShe has a calming effect on youShe doesn't push or rushThis has been an incredibly awesome experienceI have recommended Christian Faith Publishing Company to two of my friends and others
who were looking for a publisher to publish their book

"I was not looking for a Publisher nor did I realize I was writing a BookWhat happened was once I returned home after seeing my daughter for the first time in '20' years, I began writing in a journal the story of my Mom then mailed it out to herShortly after, one day, while checking my e-mails, I noticed and began reading one woman's testimony how she had written her first Book, sent it in to CFP, but was unable to pay for any servicesShe explained how CFP sent her story to a new Publicist and that they were willing to Publish her story for free because her story would be their very first Published! It was then I felt compelled to check CFP out for myselfI requested a free Publisher's kit, that's how our relationship began, and the rest is history! There were no other choices for me, I already knewI enjoyed every aspect of this journey with CFP, very professional, respectful, every need met, every question answered, expectations exceeded and would recommend CFP to othersBut I must add, my favorite part of this entire experience had to be what CFP wrote in my 'Press Release.' They were able to read between the lines and read my heartSomething no one else have ever been able to doVery Thankful for everyone's hard work and dedication, working with me financially and turning my story into a Book." Sincerely, *** ***, Author "*** *** ***."

“My book – *** * *** ** ** * *** *** – was an unusual Christian book because it was about a dangerous man in a very dangerous environment who happen to be saved (continually) from himself by being a Christian Most publishers didn’t want to touch it Christian Faith Publishing saw it was a good book and did publish it Then, I wanted to be flexible but not go to war over how my book was written or the grammar usedThe people at Christian Faith Publishing agreed that my book was already well written and were very easy to work withI thought I was following God's will in what I wrote and how I wrote itI'm really glad I didn't have to start changing thingsThe products from the different parts of the process were all great - editing, cover design, book trailer, radio interviewNothing could have gone betterLaura K*** was my Publication Specialist and was a real sweet heart and did a great job! I was very lucky to get her! I hear I will get her on my second book! Those were great words! Praise the Lord! He is Great!!”

I want to state I have been undergoing spiritual warfare in a way no man, woman, or child has ever herd of since turning I was commanded by God to write my life story, after a prison beating that should of killed meThe TRUMPET sounded off in my head saying " Write about yourself, do it in the truth to help somebody, and glorify God."
Christian Faith has been here for me from the beginning of thisTwo thumbs up! My literary agent Holly was the first person to tell me who I am spiritually before the phenomenon happened in all churches I enterShe is patient and understanding, and highly intelligentJoe is overseeing my book and has been patient as wellAt times I feel cursed, but the team at C.F.P has really shown out for meI like how they let me pray for them over the phone as I became the best prayer known at the age of God bless in the name of Jesus Christ!
To Abba Father goes all the glory for giving me this testimonyAmen

It was so much fun working with Allie! Even though I asked a million questions throughout the process, she was super patient with me and explained everything to me that I needed to knowThanks Allie and Christian Faith Publishing for all of your heart work put into making my book a success!

I have really enjoyed my experience so far, Barbara K*** has been wonderful through this process, staying in constant contact with me I am looking forward to the completion of my book

Before even completing my book going out on the web to find a publisher I saw CFP and sent for a free publishing kitReceiving a follphone call from one of their representatives I knew in my heart I didn't have to search any farther for a publisherIt was the best decision I could have madeI can understand why CFP deserves to be a five-star companyThe cover design for my book is awesome, highlights on the hills and skies made it come aliveMy CFP Publication Specialist Shannon, was very professional guiding me through each step of the process, always courteous and patient wanting to make sure I was satisfiedCFP exceeded my overall expectations and I certainly would recommend their company to any aspiring author because of the way they handle their clients showing them they are doing everything possible to make their book a success

Christian Faith Publishing IncThe staff is above excellence Knowing I was a first time publisher
allowed them the frame of mind to guide me successfully into
my completion of "REBIRTH!"

My experience with CFP was great ! My Publication Specialist was always available to answer my questions and was invaluable to me as a resourceThis was my first venture into writing children’s books and was made to feel like I was in a partnership to complete my projectHighly recommend CFP

My initial experience w/publishing agent was very good However, my next step w/publication specialist was very poor - on two occasions she suddenly just stopped communicating w/meWe also had some problems getting our calls answeredi had to call the agent to get communication restarted & then I had to ask for a different publication specialistNew PS was great and everything moved along well after that

Like the previous two reviewers, my experience with CFP, from start to finish, has been mostly a negative oneRegardless of the PR comments posted after these negative reviews, in an attempt save face or protect their image, I can confirm that these negative reviewers are telling the truth, because I have experienced the same issues alsoI only wish these reviews were available at the time of my inquiry regarding CFPHere is a breakdown based upon facts:
a) CommunicationRating: BThe CFP staff are very polite and professional; however, response times were often very slow, sometimes three or four days laterWhen I first inquired about their response time, I was told I could expect a response within hoursThis was not my experience many of the times
b) Skill, knowledge, and expertiseRating: FFrom start to finish, I was left wondering if these people just started in the publishing businessIn fact, I told them how shocked I was that they had not received more negative reviews, but now I know whyMost of the reviewers here are first-time authors who don't know what they should expect or what they should be entitled toI had to keep telling them things they should have known all along
c) Quality of workRating: CThe copy-editing they provide is so poor that I have to assume that it is being done electronically by a program and not a real editorThe interior formatting was a horror, with versions being submitted to me that violated clear industry standards (consistency, new chapter beginning on an odd page number, etc.)Often, you only discover these errors when you view a hardcopy proof, which they don't usually provideThey also basically use the same template for their interior formatting, but I fussed about it and demanded something unique, then I provided them with options for the styles I likedAs one reviewer pointed out, they are totally "cookie-cutter" in their approachCheck out their work online, the interior formatting, the book trailers, etc., and you will see that there is no arguing the factsThe press release was written so poorly, I was forced to do a complete rewrite, using my own time and resourcesWhen they did my eBook, they failed to include a Table of Contents (just like they have failed to do for many of their other clients alsoDon't believe me? Check out the CFP published eBooks online), and uploaded my unfinished eBook to the online vendors with someone else's author details and book descriptionDoes that sound professional to you? On top of that, the formatting was wrong on KindleIt still is, but they claim there is nothing they can do about it, which is a lie, as anybody who has any knowledge or experience in publishing will tell youI would explain the process here, but it would take up too much time and space
d) Schedule and deadlinesRating CThey were usually late in getting anything done, even though I always responded with approvals, corrections, or adjustments within a day or two after they were first submitted, a week at most (for the copy-editing)I expected to receive my book within 4-months or sooner, based on a time-frame discussed during the inquiry periodIt took 8-months for them to complete at an "escalated" levelYou would think that the longer timeframe meant better quality, but the longer it took, the worst everything seemed to get
I had really high hopes for this company, but what a disappointmentI was even willing to forego writing a negative review if they had been willing to work with me on correcting their mistakesBut all I kept getting is excusesMy only other recourse now is a legal oneDon't make the same mistake I didI believe that if the other positive reviewers (first-time authors) knew what they should have been getting, or were more experienced in the process, many would change their review

On 8/ 10/I entered into a contract agreement with Christian faith publishing for $to help me write my autobiography but before signing the contractI told there representatives because this it is a true storyOther published authors told me I should get legal advice before I publish my bookAnd once I do thatI will contact her to discuss the contractAt that time she told me I didn't have to do that because they have a full legal department for the issuesI was concerned aboutAnd if I sign the contractThat's include , but two months after signing the contractI asked the representative I was working withIf I could talk to their legal department and that's when I was told she misinformed me and they didn't have a legal department for the issues I was concerned about also I was promised professional editingI did not receive that eitherI have to depend on other people to find their mistakes and then I had to point them out to them it was obvious by all the

My initial experience w/publishing agent was very good However, my next step w/publication specialist was very poor - on two occasions she suddenly just stopped communicating w/meWe also had some problems getting our calls answeredi had to call the agent to get communication restarted & then I had to ask for a different publication specialistNew PS was great and everything moved along well after that

Christian Faith Publishing sevices were great.My favorite part was working together on my cover design to see what there creativity was.communication was wonderful.They were always available, and the team all made sure I was satisfiedCFP met all my expectationsIt was quite an experience for me being a frist time author walking me through the process step by step Great job

I have enjoyed working with the staff of this publishing companyI got an honest assessment of my work and a thorough editing jobI like having an author's portal so I can review my work in real time and see the progress from one department to the nextI look forward to the publication of my first novel
