Frequently Asked Questions

NavPress welcomes your comments and questions; however, due to the amount of inquiries, we’ve developed this “FAQ” page to answer common questions. Please read this section for information and directions to contact NavPress.

General

What is Tyndale’s association with NavPress?

Tyndale House, an Illinois-based Christian publisher, formed an alliance with NavPress, the publishing arm of The Navigators ministry. Under the alliance, NavPress will maintain its separate identity and continue to acquire and develop content, maintaining an editorial staff in its Colorado Springs, Colorado office. Tyndale House began supporting NavPress product with sales and fulfillment on January 1, 2014.

Authors and Books

I have questions about an author/​how do I contact an author?

For security reasons, NavPress doesn’t release residential or e‑mail information. You may, however, forward your author messages to:​[Author Name]​c/o Author Relations Coordinator​NavPress​3820 North 30th Street​Colorado Springs, CO 80904

Or, you may send us an email at author.relations@navpress.com

How do I submit a manuscript?

Because NavPress receives an ever-increasing flood of unsolicited manuscripts of which we publish less than one percent, we’ve adopted the following policy: NavPress no longer reviews unsolicited manuscripts, and we return them to their authors only if adequate postage and a return mailer are provided. NavPress reviews only manuscripts submitted by professional literary agents, NavPress authors, authors known to us from other publishers, or other people in the publishing industry.

NavPress is unable to accept manuscript proposals from anyone except literary agents or writers whose work has already been published.

Instead of responding to individual requests, we have chosen to channel excess product to a few select organizations and ministries. We ask that you seek local support or local community help. Here are some other source suggestions that may be able to help:

  • Your local bookstore will often give you a discount on certain products when used for a specific ministry effort.
  • International Bible Society www.IBSdirect.com is a great, cost‑effective source for books and Bibles.

We pray that your efforts will find support from people in your community.
