Lighthouse Trails Publishing is an industry-standard publishing company; we are not a vanity press (i.e., we do not take money from authors to publish their books). We are currently publishing between 2-4 manuscripts a year.
Lighthouse
Trails Publishing is currently accepting
proposals and manuscripts from prospective authors.
It is recommended you study our website and perhaps
read some of our books before you submit a proposal.
We are a small publishing house and have a fairly narrow
niche.
We are a Christian publishing company and publish books
that align with biblical truth, while lifting up the name
of Jesus Christ.
The books we publish must have a message or story that needs
to be heard. We are always interested in stories of Christians
who have risen above incredible and unusual challenges and even their
own failures to illustrate God's amazing grace and strength
to overcome.
We have a special place in our hearts for missionaries and
would welcome well-written submissions about or by such.

Mr. David Dombrowski - Acquisitions Editor
Lighthouse Trails Publishing,
P.O. Box 908, Eureka, MT 59917.
NOTE: IF YOU WOULD LIKE A RESPONSE, YOU MUST INCLUDE SASE WITH YOUR PROPOSAL, AND IF YOU WANT YOUR ENTIRE PROPOSAL AND SAMPLE CHAPTERS RETURNED THE SASE MUST INCLUDE THAT EXTRA POSTAGE.
You may also e-mail your proposal as an attachment as long as it is in Word
or a PDF and is in the proper format and content.
PLEASE ALLOW US 8 WEEKS TO RESPOND. If you haven't heard
from us then, send us an email or letter as a reminder. Thanks.
Any
work we consider should be written in such a fashion as to not
only challenge the educated, professional reader but also reach
the younger, college-age adult who may have more limited experience
and comprehension. Our books will include throughout their pages
human interest and personal experience scenarios as a means
of getting the point across.
