Deep River Books has published an array of best-selling Christian authors, including Coach Bill McCartney (founder of Promise Keepers), Kimberly Cash-Tate, Richard Dobbins, Tami Price, Abbie Smith and many others. One of Deep River Book's main strengths is mentoring new authors.
One of Deep River's authors wrote, "[Deep River Books] is the perfect place for talented but unknown authors to get a chance. If you can write and have a compelling story to tell or significant message to put forth from a traditional values point of view, they will give you the chance to get the exposure you deserve. If you are lucky enough to be selected, you will not be disappointed." Michael Hayutin, author of Character Immunization - How to Raise Children Strong Enough to Resist Popular Culture
Right now, Deep River Books is accepting unsolicited manuscripts in the following categories:
Inspirational books for Women
Marriage, Family, and Parenting books
Christian Fiction for both Women and Men
Christian Self Help/Counseling/Leadership Issues
Contemporary Issues from a Christian Values point of view
