Written Manuscript Critique & Publishing Readiness Review: Some competitors simply publish whatever is submitted. Not so with Innovo. We work as unto the Lord and strive to ensure our authors' books meet the highest standards in the Christian publishing industry. That's why we provide a written critique of your book's readiness to be published, including overall presentation, interior design, layout, flow and readability. We also provide a 1-5 overall readiness rating. Authors may address corrections themselves or secure Innovo's services, but all manuscripts must pass Innovo's readiness review to be published.

Professional Editing Sample and Feedback Report: At Innovo, we work as unto the Lord, and our reputation and brand are important to us and our authors. While some competitors publish their authors' manuscripts "as is," we just can't do that. That's why we provide a professional, written sample edit of randomly selected pages of your manuscript, identifying any needed corrections and providing specific feedback to improve your title. Authors may address items themselves or secure Innovo's services, but all manuscripts must pass Innovo's editorial review before being published.

Rigorous Theological Review: Would you like your Christian book to be published by a company who accepts Christian manuscripts "as is" and publishes manuscripts that may not align with foundational Christian principles? Neither would we. That's why we perform a rigorous theological review to ensure all our titles align with conservative, evangelical, biblically based essentials like those included in our Statement of Faith. When you publish with Innovo, you can rest assured your book will be associated with conservative Christian authors and high-quality titles that support the gospel of Jesus Christ.
