William Carey Publishing is always on the lookout for our next great book. We know that the Lord has planted seeds of ideas in the hearts of countless brothers and sisters around the world and, if tended to properly, those seeds might blossom into the next great book. In order to help those of you with ideas take them from inception to written word, and then on to publication, we want to start providing resources for our current authors and our future authors to hone their craft and deepen their knowledge of the publishing industry itself.
