Before accepting any manuscript, we meet with every author to:

• Hear your God-given message

• Understand your assignment and vision

• Ensure alignment with VIP Publishing

• Explain the publishing pathways

• Answer your questions

This consultation helps us discern whether we are the right steward for your book — and whether your book is ready for the next step.

If your consultation is approved, you will be invited to submit your manuscript for a professional review.

This review includes:

• Structural and developmental analysis

• Strength and clarity evaluation

• Editing level assessment

• Spiritual tone and message alignment

• Audience clarity

• Market-readiness check

📌 For VIP Ministries Press (Publishing Packages):

If your manuscript is approved for publishing, your manuscript review fee is applied as a credit toward your publishing package.

📌For Self-Publishing Incubator:

Because Incubator authors publish under their own imprint, the manuscript review fee is not applied toward publishing costs. However, you will receive the full editorial assessment and may use it with any editor of your choice.

Following your review, you will receive a detailed, professional assessment outlining:

• What your manuscript needs

• Recommended editing level

• Estimated publishing timeline

• Publishing package recommendation

• Any areas requiring refinement before publishing

This ensures excellence and eliminates guesswork.

Every author’s assignment is different. Once your manuscript has been assessed, you will choose the pathway that best supports your God-given vision.
