No. We do not provide web hosting or web design services.
If I am writing a book and use a quote or main ideas from another printed or recorded source, do I need to get permission to use it?
Yes, you need to secure permission in writing from the author/publisher of the source you want to use.
If I identify an actual person in my book, do I need to get permission from that person?
Yes. Author is also responsible for securing written permission from any person identified in their book, either by pictures, full names mentioned, or written description of an actual person.
We will if we ask for it. We will only receive them after the application process is complete and we strongly prefer it to be emailed. If we accept the application in hard copy/mailed the author will have to still send the manuscript to us for manufacturing in an emailed version or there will be a large fee for typing it in that is not included into the contract offer
Will you return a hardcopy mailed manuscript back to the author if you decide not to use it?
No. If we did this, we would be taking out a loan just to cover all the shipping cost. Best way is to always email it WHEN we ask you for it. If you must send a hard copy mailed to us, please don’t send the only original copy because you may never see it again.
Step one is to fill out our online application. Your manuscript must then be submitted in email form to andy at publisher@5foldmedia.com.

Our online distribution services can span all over parts of the world.
Do you do E-book conversion?
Yes, all of our packages include a PDF e-book, for Sony Digital Readers. Some of our packages include more e-book formats as well.
Yes, however, the sky is the limit with this. The more aggressive and expandable your market ideas are the more the cost will be. This is reality. We attempt to specialize and customize each package to meet the author’s needs to the best of our ability. Understand that marketing is different for every book project and is therefore oftentimes experiential. We are contracted with the largest book distribution in the world.
We like to directly target the Spirit-led, modern apostolic and prophetic circles. We also target Christians in general. For each project, we will try to market to the type of audience that the book is mainly targeting.
Absolutely yes! Our company utilizes social networking as much as possible.
