Our Publishing Services

The mission of Watersprings Media House, LLC is to help authors fulfill their purpose and bring their voices to the world through print. We provide affordable full publishing and marketing services to meet the needs of self-publishing authors. We specialize in faith-based books but publish most genres of books. In just a few short years, we’ve published over 100 book titles and helped dozens of authors impact the world with their words.

We publish self-authored books under the Watersprings Publishing imprint, from devotionals, church leadership, and other ministry books to children’s, poetry, and fiction books. As a vanity publisher, authors can utilize our professional experience and infrastructure for global distribution and print-on-demand technology to maintain rights and royalties for their books.

Self-publishing brings many benefits, including quicker entry into the marketplace, creative freedom, higher royalties, and ownership. But the incredible investment of time, skill, and financial resources can become overwhelming. We believe that self-publishing shouldn’t be a lonely process and have designed our business model to be more than a vendor but a partner with you on the self-publishing journey.

When your book is professionally published, you will retain 100% copyrights and 90% net royalties. All of our done-for-you services are published under the Watersprings Publishing imprint. We also offer a private label bundle of services which is ideal for the experienced D.I.Y author with a ready-to-publish, fully-edited manuscript on their own imprint.

Our Manuscript Submission Process

The mission of Watersprings Publishing is to publish books that renew the mind, refresh the spirit, and restore the soul. We accept books for the Christian marketplace, as well as children’s books, educational, business, poetry, and cookbooks. Self-publishing is also an entry into entrepreneurship. Authors who understand this from the beginning will be more prepared for all the work and time involved in the self-publishing process.

We evaluate manuscripts holistically and individually, assessing its strengths and readiness for publishing. If you are unsure if you are ready to publish, take our assessment and answer some questions to test your readiness. Before you submit your book for publishing, please download our manuscript submission checklist. We do not want your first draft, we want your best draft. (Note: Writers who get their manuscripts edited before submission increases the quality of the work and readiness for the publishing process.)
