Who are you and what do you publish?
Black Forest Press© (BFP) is a Christian book publisher. We are considered to be a “one-stop-shop” self-publisher of book manuscripts submitted to us for publishing.

How can I get started, and who can I turn to for help?
BFP is more than happy to discuss the processes of publishing your book with you in conversation, over the telephone or through email.

Do I still need to advertise my book?
Self-published books usually don’t become good sellers without having some money and personal time invested in them for promotion. Get ready to promote yourself along with your book. Get ready to spend time and money to put your book in front of those who need to see it in order to buy it. An author cannot simply sit and wait for book sales to materialize.

Will I still retain 100% control and profits from my book?
BFP gives every author 100% control of his or her book and 100% profit from that book.

What is the cost of publishing my book?
BFP is more than happy to discuss the cost of publishing your book with you in conversation, over the telephone. Once we have seen your manuscript and can determine what needs to be done to it prior to being printed for publication, and knowing certain things like, is the book simply a black and white text, or an all color book, BFP is then able to begin a cost work-up on your book. We also need to know how many books will be printed, and will the book be a POD book or an offset printed book. What size will the book be and will it be a hardback cover, saddle stitched or a perfect bind. The number of pages must also be determined. Are there pictures? If so, how many? How many special scans will be needed for those extra items you have or want included in your book? These are some of the items BFP and you, the author, will have to decide upon before we can give you an accurate quote. Anything less would be nothing more than guess work and we would be doing you a disservice instead of providing you with an accurate figure.
