Compare Publishing PackagesWhy professional preparation matters
A book that reads well and looks right
Publishing is more than uploading a file. Your cover and opening pages help readers decide whether to take a closer look.
Thoughtful editing and professional design help make that first impression count. We coordinate publication and the launch support in your package, helping you make informed decisions about your investment and confidently share the message God placed on your heart.
More advertising when your book gains momentum
Qualifying books receive $250 or $1,000 in additional BHP-funded advertising after reaching the stated sales or revenue milestones. We pay for that bonus advertising; it isn't billed to you or deducted from your royalties.
Grow your email list through your book
Your book will include a QR code readers can scan to visit a page with a free resource and the option to join your email list. New subscribers receive a welcome email, and you can stay in touch with updates about your work. When your next book is ready, you'll have interested readers to tell.
A cover chosen with readers in mind
CoverPulse™ brings professional cover concepts together with your input and reader responses. It gives us more to consider when choosing how to introduce your book.
The Blue Harvest CoverPulse™ Method
See your cover through a reader's eyes
Your cover is a reader’s first look at the book. We develop professional cover concepts and invite you to share your thoughts, then reach out to the public for feedback and voting. Your input and reader responses help shape the final cover selection, with your book’s message and audience in mind.
