Submit A Product Proposal

We publish books and retreat materials that encourage and equip Jesus followers to grow deeper spiritually, apply God’s Word to their lives, and lead well.

We review every proposal we receive, and we work with authors to ensure that their ideas are compatible with the 228 Publishers mission statement and that those ideas are directed toward the best possible formatting choice(s).

The guidelines outlined below will give you an idea of exactly what information you need to include in your proposal. Unfortunately, we are not able to consider incomplete proposals.

Once your proposal is ready, just send it via email to 228publishers@gmail.com. Our team will respond to your proposal within 10 business days.

We are so honored to share in the Great Commission with you – thanks again for considering us as a partner in your writing ministry!

Blessings,

The 228 Publishers Team
