The Omega list of Australian Christian publishers

If you’ve written a book intended for a Christian or cross-over audience, you may be on the hunt for an Australian Christian publisher.

The Australian Christian publishing landscape is much smaller than in the USA, but we still have several options for authors looking to pursue traditional publishing with a Christian press.

We have pooled the knowledge of our Omega members in the list below. 

But first, a warning against vanity publishers

Vanity publishers don’t make money by selling books. Instead they make money selling empty promises. They are companies that make money by getting authors to pay them to publish their books. They trade on our ‘vanity’, making big promises about how many copies they will sell and how easy they will make the process of publication. They are usually always promising a lot but delivering little for the thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of dollars they take.

The trouble is that vanity publishers usually don’t call themselves that. They usually use terms like 

• co-operative publisher 
• partner publisher
• subsidy publisher
• hybrid publisher
• assisted self-publisher.

Sadly, and confusingly, some traditional publishers are trying to bolster their books by starting vanity publishing arms that look legitimate but are still making money from unsuspecting authors. 

Omega Writers strongly recommends you avoid vanity publishers.
