THANKFUL BOOKS

As an alternative to publishing on your own, you might like your book to be considered for publication through Thankful Books into the Christian booktrade. This is a growing co-operative Christian publishing service working with Bookprint and therefore offering the identical services and benefits of Bookprint and also of Thankful Distribution, but with the following important advantage:

Your book would carry the Thankful Books imprint and ISBN, and as part of that imprint would have greater prominence and recognition within the Christian retail trade.

As with the other options, you would need to finance the design and production of the finished books (and therefore you would still own the whole stock), and you would receive the same benefits of Bookprint and Thankful Distribution, but with the additional advantage of your book carrying a recognised publishing imprint. This could be in addition to your own imprint if you wished. At the same time you would of course be able to ‘self-market’ – sell, market and distribute copies to your own customers as you wish.

Additional charges apply to this service and not all books may be accepted, but if you would like your book to be considered for publication through Thankful Books please select 'Yes' in the relevant box on the cost estimate request form. Thankful Books operates as an upgrade from Thankful Distribution, so once we have received your 'go-ahead order' for Bookprint and Thankful Distribution, we will pass your text to Thankful Books for consideration. If it is accepted, you will be advised of the additional charges that would apply.
