SH Books Inc. Submission Program

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN OUR SUBMISSION PROGRAM.

Shelleanne Hardial Books Inc. strives to publish nonfiction that is written from a biblical lens. In addition, we encourage submissions of fiction that is interwoven with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Our Submission Program is a strategic channel to provide potential, and established authors with the opportunity to share their stories with the world for the glory of God. Un-agented authors are welcome to submit their manuscripts.

You may submit the following genres: memoir, autobiography, biography, motivational, inspirational, and Christian children/youth- and adult fiction.
