Get Published

Are you an aspiring author with a book to publish? If so, we may be just what you are looking for.

The publishing division of TRHE is currently looking for new authors to publish. We specialize in sports, Christian and family-friendly books and publications.

As a small, family-owned publishing house, we are proud to be able to offer the individual attention that your book deserves. We also have the flexibility to be able to deal with new and unestablished authors that the bigger houses won’t touch.

This does not mean that we will publish just anything. Not at all. We are quite picky regarding the works that we publish. We are looking for talented authors who just haven’t had their “big break” yet.

We Are Not A “Vanity Press.”

If you have been trying to get your book published, you’ve no doubt run across the vanity publishers out there. They will publish just about anything for a fee. We are not like that. We never charge a fee to publish your book!

Having said that, I do want to make it plain that we do ask new authors to purchase 50 copies of their book (at the author’s discount price). These copies can be sold at your appearances or given away to friends and relatives. It’s up to you.

Why do we ask authors to purchase books? It’s simple. We are looking for partners in the book publishing endeavor. We want authors who are passionate about their book and who are willing to help promote it. After all, if you’re not passionate enough to order 50 copies of your own work, how passionate should we be about it? We do reserve the right to waive this requirement for experienced authors with an established following.

Our Services

We provide the following services for our clients:

As you can see, it’s quite an undertaking for us to accept a new manuscript. That is why we would rather work with a passionate author with a moderate book than work with a great author who lacks passion. After all, we can help you make a good book great, but there’s no making up for a lack of “fire.”
