Welcome, IVP Author!

We hope that the "insider" information and tips included in these nine sessions designed exclusively for InterVarsity Press authors will equip you well as we work together to develop, promote, and sell your book.

Your Publishing Playbook is here whenever you need it. And we at IVP are also available to answer questions, brainstorm ideas, offer guidance or coaching, and collaborate on a variety of plans and actions to support your book. You can always contact your editor, your marketing manager, or send an email to [email protected] if you are not sure who to speak with.

We look forward to a fruitful partnership ahead.
