About Path and Opportunities
Path Publishing began in 1993, became incorporated in 1996, and added the Path Publishing in Christ imprint in 1999. We have published over twenty books, many finding a national distributor. We specialize in general nonfiction, self-help, Christian, and poetry. New possibilities have opened because of our web site, allowing us to expand into e-books and Christian music sales, be a showcase for artists and crafts people, and be a mother-site for churches and individuals desiring web sites at very reasonable rates. We are proud to be listed in or approved for future listings in these publications: Christian Writers Market Guide, The Directory of Little Magazines and Small Presses, and The Writer. Our ISBN prefix is 1-891774 and our toll-free number is 877-PATH-877. Call before 5:30 p.m. Central Time, at the latest. Thank you!
Authors, poets, and playwrights are encouraged to submit after they check out "How to Submit to Path Publishing." Artists need to email or, within the U.S., call about our economical startup system. For musicians, it's real easy. Just mail us a CD; if you want it returned, enclose an SASE.
We at Path are not opposed to making a previously successful paperback into an e-book. If an author acquires permission from the original publisher, in writing, we can perhaps turn a successful, yet out of print, paperback into an e-book for the world.
Help us grow and make extra income. If you can lead us to book publishers, agents, movie producers, or marketing people outside the U.S.A. who would be interested in expanding any of these works to other markets, let us know. Many of these have not been published in paperback or were released by a regional publisher. If a contract is signed, we will send you a finder’s fee.
Same for musicians, artists, or evangelists. If you can suggest a profitable means of expansion, we will not forget your help. Artists, sell your prints at our site; yes, you can sell a painting for $400, but you could also sell a thousand prints at $40.00 each and let us bring in $40,000.
We offer a unique six-month course, with consultations throughout, on how to start your own publishing company. We take you from your finished manuscript to a bookstore-ready product with possible national distribution. We offer editors, copyeditors, a cover designer, printers, web marketing avenues, contacts with Baker & Taylor, plus links to national bookstore chains. We can save you thousands of dollars and years of effort by teaching you the system while avoiding pitfalls along the way.
Path is starting its own prayer team, a group of dedicated volunteers who will pray for people each week. If you are interested, email us at path2@pathpublishing.com. It would help if you received a little training from the church you attend.
Path has a Salvation Team, individuals who love leading people to the Lord. If you want to join, contact us.
This poem came in late 2005, the day after I decided to devote much more attention to the development of this web site:
The Giving
Is purpose.
Through all my years growing toward sky and sun,
I was self-contained, though concerned.
And was good, in my branching out.
Yet now, in later years, I
find the full joy of my giving,
that love that returns to God and others what
was most precious: life itself.
I discovered, that through the years before,
I was but stem, not flower.
