At Manning the Gate Publishing, our vision is to help bring together a beautiful and intimate process for your manuscript. We have over 10+ years of self-publishing experience, several book awards, and a creative team to help breathe life into your written works. We are confident you will walk away with great hope and joy, knowing your writing is in knowledgeable and understanding hands.

Manning the Gate Publishing desires to publish books that educate, edify, enlighten, bind up the brokenhearted, and bring freedom and redemption to the lost, broken, and hurting. We are a faith-based publishing company.  Books educate. Books change lives—books open doors. 

Larger publishing houses have many employees and much overhead. Querying big publishing companies, waiting months for a response, or trying to find an agent can be exhausting. At the end of the day, every author has to market themselves and take charge of their career. As a small publishing company, we want to work with authors personally, polishing their books until they sparkle and shine, giving them the tools, they need to launch their books. 

Many indie authors are overlooked, lack knowledge on how to market, or taken advantage of by vanity presses and those looking for profit. With such an over-saturation of authors, we at Manning the Gate Publishing want to give you the tools you need to complete your manuscript and polish it until it is ready.

Ready to take this great leap of faith? First off, congratulations. Second, please look over "submissions" under the process tab. We are currently accepting faith-based Fiction, Fiction, YA fiction, Middle Grade Fiction, poetry, children’s books, devotionals, and teaching books.

We look forward to helping bring your book to life.

Sincerely,

Jeff & Bonnie Manning
