WhiteFire is a small, traditional Christian publisher whose motto is “Where Spirit Meets the Page.” We love books with a strong hook, engaging characters, and where the light of the Lord comes shining through. Faith themes don’t necessarily have to be overt, but all our books must uphold our beliefs.
If you have a story you’d like to submit, please send the following to r.white@whitefire-publishing.com:

If you’re an artist and would like to be on our roster of illustrators, please send the following to r.white@whitefire-publishing.com:

- your rates, flexibility, and whether or not you’d consider working for royalties or only on a paid-upfront basis.

We’re creating a file of illustrators right now that we can reference as needed.

Roseanna M. White is a bestselling, Christy Award winning author who has long claimed that words are the air she breathes. When not writing fiction, she’s homeschooling her two kids, editing, designing book covers, and pretending her house will clean itself. Roseanna is the author of a slew of historical novels that span several continents and thousands of years. Spies and war and mayhem always seem to find their way into her books…to offset her real life, which is blessedly ordinary.
Nope, we'll be open for submissions for this line from here on out.
This is awesome! I'm hoping to submit something soon here! Just gotta put together the blurbs and such needed. Is there a deadline you want or need submissions by?
This looks fantastic! I'm going to submit something in the next few days.
