CrossBooks, a Christian self-publishing company, has announced it will close its doors, effective April 30. Since its beginnings in 2009, CrossBooks has published over 1,000 books through B&H Publishing Group, the publishing division of LifeWay Christian Resources. CrossBooks was unique to vet its books with help from a theological review team to make sure books were consistent with LifeWay’s values. “CrossBooks was created to respond to the needs of authors with biblical-centered editorial and promotional expertise,” says Dave Schroeder, vice president of publicity for B&H Publishing. “B&H simply decided to use resources to pursue other opportunities.” Schroeder said authors with publishing deals or whose books have not yet been published have received refunds for services not yet completed. |
