Higher
Ground Books & Media is an
independent Christian-based publisher designed to provide a platform from which
selected authors may share their stories.
The ultimate goal of this company is not to provide authors with a place
to promote themselves, but to provide them with a place where they can share
their stories of triumph and in doing so, glorify God.
We are a unique publishing company and will be seeking authors whose work is inspirational, motivational, or educational. We are especially interested in Memoirs and Personal Testimony. No erotica or horror, please. Our submission guidelines are listed below:
1. We are currently only accepting electronic submissions (ie. Microsoft Word files). Please send to: highergroundbooksandmedia@gmail.com.
2. Use a single, clear font, 12 point size. The best to use is Courier or Courier New.
3. Use clear black text on a white background.
4. Include your name and contact information at the top left of the first page. Put an accurate word count at the top right.
5. If you write under a pseudonym, put that beneath the title but your real name in the top left of the first page.
6. Left-justify your paragraphs. Right margins should be “ragged”. Ensure there is at least a 1 inch margin all the way around your text. This is to allow annotation to be written onto a printed copy.
7. Use double spacing for all your text. Don’t insert extra lines
between your paragraphs.
8. Indent the first line of each paragraph by about 1/2 inch.
9. Put the word “End” after your last page of text.
