Thank you for considering Chalice Press as a potential publisher for your work. We know all authors are passionate about their work and that you wouldn't - and shouldn't - entrust your work to just anybody. Thank you for your consideration.
About Chalice Press
Chalice Press publishes resources that invite individuals and groups into deeper relationship with God, equip them as disciples of Jesus Christ, and send them into ministries as the Holy Spirit calls them. Our theological tradition is evangelistic (we share with others our experience of God), inclusive (we are guests at a table where everyone is welcome) and mission-oriented (our gratitude to God compels us to serve and exchange our stories with others).
What We Publish
CBP/Chalice Press is open to receiving any publishing proposal that aligns with our mission to publish resources inviting all people into deeper relationship with God, equipping them as disciples of Jesus Christ, and sending them into ministries as the Holy Spirit calls them. At this time, we are particularly interested in publishing content by and for women, young adults (age 18 to 35), and racial/ethnic cultures for our academic, congregational leadership, and general audiences. We offer print, digital, and multi-media formats. Topics of particular interest include: non-fiction in the areas of Academics (Homiletics, Biblical Studies, Theology, Christian Education); Congregational Leadership (Preaching, Evangelism, Hospitality, Leadership Development, Discipleship/Equipping Ministries); General (Faith and Life, Inspiration/Devotion, Bible Study/Application, Mission/Evangelism).
A Key Part of a Chalice Press contract
Every contract we write includes an "Affirmation of Diversity." Here's what it says:
The Christian Board of Publication and its imprints affirm the faith and gifts of persons regardless of race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender expression, or any other characteristic protected by law and will not publish material that opposes this affirmation.
If you have questions about what that means, be sure to let us know early in the process.

What to Avoid
Although Chalice Press publishes a broad range of material, we do not publish works that are primarily poetry, fiction, dissertations, children's books, cookbooks, festschrifts (essays in honor of someone), collections of sermons, newsletter columns, etc. Submissions in these genres generally will not receive responses from Chalice Press. For these, you may wish to consider our Lucas Park Books imprint (www.lucasparkbooks.com).
