All Things Books!


Make books your companions; let your bookshelves be your gardens: bask in their beauty, gather their fruit, pluck their roses, take their spices and myrrh. And when your soul be weary, change from garden to garden, and from prospect to prospect.

Hello!

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.


Do you need more information? Browse our process and submission tab for more details.

 

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, YA fiction, poetry, children’s books, devotionals, and teaching books.


We look forward to helping bring your book to life.



Sincerely,

Jeff & Bonnie Manning

From the beginning, Bonnie offered advice and convinced me to play my tune. Bonnie never rushed me and always encouraged me to write—to let my words be heard. Jeff stepped in and helped format my book, uploading it to e-book and paperback. He sent several book cover designs and fonts to choose from.

NEW BOOK RELEASE!

Emmitt's Dinosaur

4-year-old Emmitt Dean has an unruly dinosaur in his backyard, but only Emmitt can see it. The dinosaur eats his dog's food and pears from their tree. The dinosaur even attempts to drive the lawn tractor. What if he steals the car or hurts Emmitt's baby brother, Mason?


Frustrated from warning his parents that the dinosaur is into mischief and could be dangerous, Emmitt grabs his sword to protect his family, and all hilarity ensues.



Emmitt's Dinosaur is a rhyming book in the spirit of Dr. Seuss.

Perfect for children ages 4 to 8.
