| ABOUT US What Do We Do? As a way of helping us fund our translation project, we are helping a limited number of Christian writers get their works into print. We publish works dealing with:
If you have a work you would like us to consider, please contact us at the following email address: info@searchlight-press.com. Who Are We? Searchlight Press, Glen Rose, Texas, is a publisher of thoughtful Christian books. Our first book, Is It True: Examining the Core of Christian Faith, by John Cunyus, was published in 1994. This book sold out its print run and is currently available only through specialty- and used-book dealers. Our second book, We Know the Words -- We Need Lives to Match, by the Rev. Dr. E. C. Rowand, Jr., is a collection of sermons by longtime Dallas, Texas, pastor, Dr. E. C. Rowand, Jr., preached during 1964, as Rowand guided his congregation into the turmoil of mid-60s America. This book is available through Central Christian Church of Dallas, Texas, 214-526- 7291. In 2008, we began publishing a fresh translation of Biblia Sacra Iuxta Vulgatam Versionem, the Latin-language Bible that lay at the heart of the biblical tradition in the West for a thousand years. Volume One of that series, The Way of Wisdom: Job, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, was published, fittingly enough, on September 11, 2008. Volume Two, The Audacity of Prayer: A Fresh Translation of the Book of Psalms, is scheduled for publication in 2009. The third volume, just underway and still untitled, will be a translation of the Minor Prophets. The Way of Wisdom is available in a Latin-English interlinear version and as an English-only edition, through Amazon.com and other retailers. We also published A Path Beyond Suffering: Working the Buddhist Method, an examination of Buddhism as a method of mental health, by John Cunyus. Our approach is "Author-preneurial." We help authors who have a passion not just to write, but to a willingness to get out and promote their printed ideas as well. In these days, there are a variety of ways of getting a book published. Check out "Four Ways to Finance Your Book," for descriptions. No matter the method you choose, your book won't sell itself. You will have to work for it. If your ideas are worth putting in print, though, that can be a rewarding process. What We Can Do For You We offer the following services: Publishing Consultation: we will talk to you about your book, your goals, your market, and how you might proceed. We're not in the business of leading people on just to take their money. We'll be up- front and honest with you about your work, because we don't succeed unless you succeed. There is no charge for this consultation. Publishing Services: we will take your finished, electronic manuscript, assign it an ISBN number, design a cover, get it into print, and get you a proof copy. We can arrange for your book to be available on major, online retailers like Amazon.com, as well. You will be able to buy your books in bulk, at the distributor's discounted prices. These services begin at $799. Editorial Services: we will proof-read and edit your book, making corrections and offering suggestions, for $3/page. Promotional Services: we will create a custom website and domain for you and your book, including your book cover, synopsis, sample text, and purchase information, for $399. We can also help you design your marketing plan. Publicist Services: we can refer you to our publicist, who can make arrangements directly with you.
