Christian Faith Publishing

CFP did an outstanding job in working with me to get my work published; My publication specialist ,Leslie, was very kind, professional,and caring;The journey to the finished publication was made very rewarding ;If in the future I have another work to be published, I definitely will allow Christian Faith Publishing to be my publisher

I was looking for a publishing company that had knowledge and understanding of scripture and CFP delivered on both aspectsMy favorite part by far was communicating with Shannon, my Publication Specialist She kept the excitement and thrill of publishing a book throughout the entire processThe communication between the Publication Specialist and myself was excellentShannon listened to every detail no matter how small or irrelevant it may have been and she guided me through every facetCFP exceeded my overall expectations and I would recommend them to other authorsCFP from the beginning presents a wealth of knowledge and experience in publishing and being particular in what they publish places an even greater value on their companyHowever, the finish product speaks for them, the finish product is their letter of recommendation

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

I have paid this company 3,dollars as they promised to work hard on proof reading, editing and grammar proficiency before publishing my bookthey have failed to do thisMy book is out now for sale an they have not proof-read my bookHowever, I kept returning it to them to fix it and my customer services lady told me if I return it again its another charge, well I would have to return it again if they did it the right way the first time so I had no other choice but to approve itThe flow of the book is not good, they did not work on the editing and proof reading like they promised in their contract by a professional, and they added double words in my book which was something I did not have in my manuscript they accidentally did that themselves, on page 142, there is a double "and" next to each otherI have had so many people ask me who proof read my book? I couldn't believe they didn't keep their promise on their end when it came to proof reading, editing and grammarAlso! The

As an author, I wanted to share my wonderful experience with Christian Faith Publishing Writing a book is a major investment in time and it is like raising a child, you want to be sure that it is well taken care of When I first started writing my book, I began investigating different publishers I then began to realize how competitive the book publishing industry is, so I started an excel sheet with the various publishers and rated them according to how well, I felt they would be a good fit for my book and someone I could entrust my book to I studied each company very thoroughly and prayed about which company would be the best fit Well, Christian Faith Publishing came out number #and they have not only met my expectations but exceeded them Since my name was going to be on the book, I wanted it to be the very best and Christian Faith Publishing is certainly the best They were responsive to my requests and very attentive to my needs I would certainly recommend them to any author as they are great to work with This recommendation is based on their professionalism and their quest for excellence Since I am in the process of writing another book, I will definitely use them again

First and foremost, I wanted a Christian publishing company that would live up to its mission statement of discovering and publishing Christian authors who desired to make the greatest impact possible through the written word I had tried another so called “Christian” publishing company for my last book and was terribly disappointed That book has yet to be published I was looking for a company I could really trust - a publishing company that spoke my language and cared about my book almost as much as I did I found these qualities at CFP My favorite part of the process was the illustrations – what was once only words on a page now took on a new and exciting life that children really love Capturing a child’s imagination isn’t simple and words alone don’t always do the trick Presenting the truth of God’s love to a little child is made so much easier through the careful use of vibrant color, amazing characters and sweet images I loved my Publication Specialist She really made this process a wonderful experience CFP exceeded my overall expectations and I have already recommended them to another author friend

***Author Feedback [redacted] "I wanted a publisher who would bring my books to a finished product which I could be proud ofI also wanted a company who would go beyond just publishing my books, but also get involved in marketing my work in the proper and most successful wayI am pleased with every stepI was never misled or taken advantage of in any part of the processOur communication was always excellentThe specialist enjoyed working with me, and I am very pleased with how she was always there to assist meMy expectations were exceeded, and the experience was greatI would recommend Christian Faith Publishing to anyone because I know that they would be very happy with the outcome."

This being my first time I was uncertain of what to expect I provided a mental image of what comes to mind when I think of the book's content The cover only had half of what I imagined and turned out perfect I love that the designers stepped out of the cover norm box of what is often seen on grief books The designer(s) provided a cover that captures the emotional and visual connections to readers I love they selected a man instead of woman or child because men grieve just as much as anyone else This choice enables the initial view to reach readers who acknowledge that grief touches everyone and blessings are able to be found through God's comforts and grace The cover provides a connection to readers before the book is picked up for review It is very professional and impressiveMy Publication Specialist was amazingThis was my first time to experience the publication processI was very impressed with quick responses and continual expressions of kindnessI often felt that I was being a nag by contacting her frequently with questions and status updatesShe was gracious to always let me know and even chuckle when I would told her that she is free to tell me to cool down my inquiresShe has been wonderful throughout this learning experienceI highly respect her as a person and professionalIt has been a blessing to work with her

When I was looking for a publisher, I wanted a company that I could trust, and that would provide transparent and complete assistance throughout the process, from editing to marketingI feel that I got everything I could ask for with CFPI was glad to be working with a company that took pride in the material they produced, and did not agree to print just anythingI was happy with the contract, it was very fair and beneficial to meMy favorite parts of the process were the illustrations and text layoutIt took a long time, but with the artists, we got it rightChelsea, my Publication Specialist was right there for me, when I had questions or concernsShe quickly relayed my input to the graphics group, and kept me informed of status during the processI will definitely recommend Christian Faith Publishing to anyone I know that needs a publisherThank you CFP!

I have recently had my first book published entitled [redacted] Christian Faith Publishing provided an excellent service at every stage of the process of editing through to cover design and advertisingI was assigned a personal assistant to walk me through the process, Cassy was very good and her communications were always prompt in answering any questions I encounteredThe whole process was very smooth and efficient and is one that I would definitely recommend to any authorI have just completed my second book and will be submitting this for the possibility of publishing within the next few days to Christian Faith Publishing

In 2016, I used publishing services from Christian Faith Publishing (CFP), and my book was published in the fall of that yearI signed a two-year agreement/contract with CFP, which stipulates that if I do not wish to renew my agreement/contract, all of my electronic files will be returned to me “immediately” without any cost to meI have sent Erin S***, whom I was told would handle my request, two emails, on June and June 13, requesting this to no availI have also called MsS [redacted] and left several voicemails and have yet to receive any word from her, or anyone else from CFPAdditionally, I requested in my emails and voicemails that any royalties/monies from the sale of my book not yet remitted be immediately sent to me, which has not been done as of yet as well! This lack of action by CFP is a breach of our agreement/contractI would like this matter I have repeatedly requested to be resolved immediately

Christian Faith Publishing did an outstanding job with my book and helping me to achieve my goals I worked with Abbey and she did a great job explaining to me the steps involved and helping me along the way Any frustrations I had were small and mostly due to my ignorance of the publishing process I would be glad to publish with them again in the future

Absolutely top notch service from start to finish! I am completely satisfied!
