Publishing Services
Sandy Creek Stirrings Press exists to help produce practical, truthful, applicable resources. For select authors, churches, and ministries, we also offer help in preparing print projects with care, conviction, and a desire for usefulness.
Author Assistance
This option is for authors who want to publish independently but need help preparing a manuscript for print.
Sandy Creek Stirrings Press can assist with editing, formatting, cover design, print-ready files, and connecting the author with a printer to get the project printed. Once the project is complete, the author remains responsible for ordering, printing, selling, distributing, and managing the book.
This is normally handled as a one-time service fee based on the size and needs of the project.
Publish with SCS Press
For select projects, Sandy Creek Stirrings Press may work with authors to edit, format, design, publish, print, and sell a book as part of the Sandy Creek Stirrings Press catalog.
Because these books represent the Press, this path is not automatic. Projects must be reviewed for doctrinal agreement, usefulness, quality, tone, and fit with the mission of Sandy Creek Stirrings.
Accepted projects would be handled by written agreement before production begins.
