A: We welcome the idea of publishing books with specific languages. However, for now, we would prefer English language. We believe that books written in English reach a wider audience across cultures and nationality. But, in the case where you have already published a book with us that is written in English and would like the same book to be published in another language then we would be happy to consider that.
A: It depends on the book you are publishing. If you opt for a black and white book, then all of your pictures will be greyscale photos. If it is a colored book, you can then use both --colored and black and white. It is recommended that all pictures are 300 dpi. This will ensure the best quality for your book.
A: It is recommended that all pictures be a minimum of 300 dpi in order for them to look good in print. If they happen to be lower than that, then, the pictures may look grainy. When your book is formatted, by our publishing specialist, it will be sized to fit the page, or section, in the book to your liking. Also, if the book is a black and white book, your pictures will be converted to greyscale photos. Beyond that, there is no further editing done by HFP.
A: Each new chapter or special page such as Acknowledgements, Dedications, etc are always on odd pages (right-hand side of the book). This is optional, but we think it makes the book look more professional. If this is not what you want, just let your publishing specialist know how you like it and we will do our best to make it happen. Also, our printer needs a minimum of two blank pages at the end of the book, with the last page being an even numbered page.
Once we have payment for your package, our publishing specialist will contact you to get your manuscript. The quickest way is to send your manuscript online through email.However you can send your manuscript through mail, however we would need to create a digital file if it is hand written or printed out. There will be a fee for that service.
A: Our printer requires payment every time we upload a new manuscript or cover. We also have to re-engage our publishing specialist or graphic designer to work on the revision. This is part of the reason why we charge a revision fee. Once a manuscript gets a final approval, the book files get closed. If there is a need for revision, we must reopen the working file and recreate another print ready file.
We are a Christian publishing business, that has a team of publishing specialists, graphic artists, editors and managers working hard to turn your manuscript into a good-looking book ready for purchase.

A: A Press Release is a valuable tool to get your book the exposure it deserves.
Typically, we post a professionally written press release on our media page, where radio, newspaper and TV sources can view it. You can also send your press release to any media you choose.
