Reputation
The WinePress Group has been producing professional books for the Christian market since 1991. Our reputation with bookstores, consumers, and publishers is well established, and we're pleased to extend that reputation to our authors as well.
The Pleasant Word Team
Our experienced team will guide you through the publishing process from start to finish. We never take the short-term, cookie-cutter approach to publishing. Every project is unique, and we treat it with care and commitment. Through production, publicity, marketing, trade shows, websites, multimedia, and much more - our team is here to serve you.
Co-Captain Author Services
Developed in-house, the "Co-Captain" is our patented and exclusive online author service center. You can log in at any time to track your book, order marketing materials, view sales reports, communicate with your Project Manager, and much more.
Interior Typesetting
The quality of typesetting is what sets a truly professional book apart from all the others. Pleasant Word takes the interior design of your book's text just as seriously as the cover, making sure your readers experience the same quality inside and out.
Digital Proofs
You'll receive and approve digital proofs every step of the way, so that you can be 100% satisfied before your book goes to print.
High Quality Digital Printing
Using sophisticated digital printers your book can be printed in any quantity, on demand. Order one, 100, or 1,000 - with no need to worry about storage or inventory.
Personal Project Manager
One of our experienced Project Managers will be assigned to guide you and your book through the whole production process. Your project manager handles all the details, answers your questions, gives professional advice, and allows you to focus on what matters to you.
ISBN Number
Every book sold through bookstores and online retailers needs an ISBN number. We'll provide one automatically for your book.
US Library of Congress Registration
All of our books are registered and cataloged with the Library of Congress. As part of our services, your book will have its own LCCN.
Choice of Book Size
Our books come in a variety of sizes to choose from, and multiple bindings such as soft or hard cover. If you're not sure what size is right for you, just ask a Solutions Advisor for personalized advice.
Nonexclusive Agreement
Our nonexclusive publishing agreement allows you to keep the rights to your book. You can publish with another company at any time and grab on to any opportunities that come your way. Many authors stay with us for years, but we're happy to provide a step up for others who want to try out a new publishing adventure.
Access to Book Files
Your PDF book files are available free of charge for three months after publication.
Forever Book Storage
We invest in storage capacity so that we never have to delete your book files. They're not only stored indefinitely, but safely backed up.
Graphics – 10 Images – No Extra Fee
Images can bring a book to life. If you have photos or illustrations, we'll insert the first 10 for free.
International Authors – No Extra Fee
We welcome international authors to the Pleasant Word family with no additional fee.
 
 
 
  Services Available To All Packages  
 

These services are available to all Pleasant Word packages for an additional charge.

Fast Track
Need your books fast? While we normally take more time to ensure your book looks and feels the best it can be, we can custom quote you on a Fast Track that will provide quality and speed.
Payment Plan
Pleasant Word understands that publishing a book is an investment. We'll work with you to space out payments if need be.
Copyright
We'll print two copies of your book, help you fill out the appropriate paperwork, and register your book with the United States Copyright Office to make sure your work is fully protected.
Hardcover w/Dust Jacket
We can even print your books in hard cover, with or without a dust jacket. Fees for this upgrade vary so ask your Solutions Advisor about options.
Video Book Trailer
In today's media-centered world, a video trailer for your book makes a big impact. Our in-house Multimedia Department can customize a 30 second, 60 second, or 5 minute video that will spread the word about your book.
Branding Coach
We can help you build a recognizable brand to boost your marketing to the next level. Our branding coach will personally consult with you and explain how a strong brand can strengthen your ministry or business.
Website
If you don't have a website yet, don't wait any longer. We can create a custom-designed 5 page website, or a larger site with just about any high end features you'd like.
Audio Book
We can create an audio book on CD or MP3. Our list of great voice talent can bring to life any book and open up this growing market.
Promotional Products
Mugs, pens, t-shirts: these and thousands more products can be personalized with your message. Our promotional products specialists can brainstorm the right direction for you.
Marketing Materials
When you think about promotion, think marketing materials. Things like post cards, business cards, and bookmarks are relatively inexpensive, but very effective, ways to tell everyone about your book.
