Christian Focus Publishing is an evangelical Christian publisher based in Scotland. They say, “Our calling is to share the incredible message of the gospel and help people grow in their faith through the power of books.”
They have four imprints. Focus is more approachable and geared towards Christian living. Mentor is more detail oriented and in-depth. Heritage re-publishes classic texts that have fallen out of print. CF4kids is their children and young adult focused imprint (which we have reviewed separately because they have different, very specific guidelines).
They are open to submissions for all imprints. They do not publish poetry and fiction for adults, and only focus on nonfiction in these genres. It’s important to get a feel for what they are actively publishing and promoting. You can do so by spending time with their website here.
They ask that all authors submitting work for adults, submit a synopsis, a contents page, two sample chapters, and their CV/Résumé, detailing ones personal religious background. They also ask authors to complete an Author Information Sheet and a Book Information Sheet.
This work can be submitted via email or mail. They try to respond within six months. You can see their complete adult guidelines here.
