Retailers were presented with publishing options to share with their customers during the WinePress Publishing Gala held Monday morning at the International Christian Retail Show (ICRS).

The company, which terms itself a "hybrid" of royalty and custom publishing, opened the session with a short video tour of its Washington state operations before introducing several of its recent authors to speak about their books. Authors included Sarah McCleary (Choosing to Forgive, Learning to Love), Gary Mitchell (Amos the Churchmouse), Carma Naylor (A Mormon's Unexpected Journey) and David Ray (Secrets Behind Closed Doors).

Carla Williams, publicity and editorial director, cited a July 2009 World magazine article that identified self-publishing as the "bright spot" in a "gloomy bookselling environment."
