Mission
ST PAULS is an activity of the members of Society of St Paul who proclaim the Gospel through the Media of Social Communication.
Description
Established in late 1940's, St Pauls has grown to be one of Great Britan's leading Catholic publishers. Through its publishing activities St Pauls Publications seeks to assist the ongoing renewal of the Chruch in the spirit of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. ST PAULS titles cover a wider range of subjects like Bible and Bible studies, Spirituality, Prayer and Meditation, Homily Aids, Church Documents, Faith, Mission Studies, Catechism and Catechesis, Saints and Biographies,etc.
Following its founder, Fr James Alberione, its goal is to help bring the whole Christ (Way, Truth and Life) to the whole person (mind, heart, and will).
The specific goals of its editorial policy are:
* To give priority to the Word of God through the publication and diffusion of the Bible, and the publication of commentaries and discussion guides on the sacred Scriptures.
* To make the official teachings of the Catholic Church known through the publication in the United Kingdom of documents of the Holy See and, when requested, documents of the Catholic Bishops' Conference.
* To publish works in areas of spirituality, prayer, religion, liturgy and catechesis for both children and adults. Specifically, to seek works that reveal the richness of the Christian tradition while pointing to the movement of the Spirit of God in our own time and place.
* To give prominence to works concerned with the development of the Church in the United Kingdom. At least fifty per cent of all books published are to be authored locally.
Manuscript Submissions
While St Pauls Publications is a Catholic publishing house, we are open to publishing works by authors from various Christian denominations. We publish books on scripture, liturgy, prayer and spirituality, blessed Cardinal Newman, family and children books. Our publishing is oriented towards a general adult readership. We also offer range of children's stories and activity books.
We are not able to publish scholarly works likely to attract a limited readership.
Most of our titles are commissioned. However, we do accept some unsolicited manuscripts.
We receive several manuscripts and proposals for consideration each week. We acknowledge materials received as quickly as we can. We then commence an evaluation process that can last from 6-8 weeks. We ask authors not to contact us during that time.
Proposals or finished manuscripts for consideration must be submitted to the Editorial Director, St Pauls Publishing, St Pauls by Westminster Cathedral, Morpeth Terrace, London SW1P 1EP.
Brief submissions of no more than five pages can be emailed to editorial@stpauls.org.uk
We will not consider manuscripts that have been submitted simultaneously to a number of publishers. We are not prepared to invest in the evaluation of a manuscript only to have it withdrawn at a late stage in the process because another publisher has taken it up.
If you wish to have a proposal or a finished manuscript considered for publication by St Pauls Publications please send the following:
1. A brief letter telling us why you have approached St Pauls Publishing in particular as a possible publisher.
2. A proposal that will include the following elements:
Content: 1-2 pages telling us what the book is about.
Target readership: who are you writing for?
A table of contents, with a line or two describing the contents of each chapter.
A line or two about you, and your qualifications for writing the book.
A line or two about the possible competition, ie books at a similar level and aimed at a similar readership.
The extent and (if the work is not yet completed) the estimated delivery date.
3. A sample chapter (not the complete manuscript).
4. Don't forget to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you wish to have the material returned. Please send your submission to:
