Harmony Publishing vs Christian Faith Publishing
Christian Faith Publishing is a US publisher serving the Christian and faith-based market.
Short version. Christian Faith Publishing serves authors writing for the Christian market, and we publish authors of any genre. Its royalties FAQ states a royalty fee of 50 cents per book after initial sales; its services page shows no prices. Compare what each package includes, whose name is on the ISBN and the royalty terms, in writing, before you sign.
Which should you choose?
Choose Harmony if…
- You want the whole run priced up front: our calculator gives the delivered price of 100 to 10,000 copies (for the common black-and-white paperbacks) before you commit, with the freight as its own line when the shipment is heavy.
- You want one team across editing, design, print and distribution, an ISBN registered in your name or your own imprint, and no share of your royalties.
- You want the package price before you talk to anyone: the CFP services page we read names no packages and states no prices. (christianfaithpublishing.com/services, checked 15 October 2026)
Choose Christian Faith Publishing if…
- You want a publisher focused on Christian authors, with editing, design, printing, marketing and distribution from one company. (christianfaithpublishing.com/services, checked 15 October 2026)
- You want distribution that names Ingram, Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and e-books on Kindle, NOOK and Apple Books. (christianfaithpublishing.com/services/marketing-distribution, checked 15 October 2026)
Switching probably isn't worth it if…
- You are content with its royalty terms and your book is selling: the first-sales terms and the later fee are in its royalties FAQ, so compare them with your statements before deciding. (christianfaithpublishing.com/faqs/royalties-faqs, checked 15 October 2026)

Our figure is the live output of our calculator at the moment this page was shown. Where the quantity is small, delivery is included in the price; for a heavy shipment the freight is its own line at the carrier's cost, with no markup. Prices exclude sales tax. A competitor price appears here only with a source and the date we checked it; until we have captured one, the cell says so. We never estimate a competitor's price.

Switching to Harmony from Christian Faith Publishing
If you decide to move a book you have already published, this is what carries over, what does not, and an order of steps that keeps the book available the whole time.
What moves with you
- Your manuscript and any final files you hold. Keep your own copies.
What does not
- The ISBN, if CFP acquired it. The pages we read do not say whose name it is in: ask before you plan the move. (christianfaithpublishing.com/services, checked 15 October 2026; christianfaithpublishing.com/blog/what-is-an-isbn-and-why-do-i-need-one, checked 15 October 2026)
- Retailer listings and reviews tied to the old ISBN. A new ISBN starts as a new listing.
The order of steps, so the book is never unavailable
- Read your agreement for the terms on ending it, and leave the listing live while you move. (christianfaithpublishing.com/faqs/royalties-faqs, checked 15 October 2026)
- Decide the ISBN: keep one you own, or take a new one with us.
- Order a single proof copy from us (the calculator prices one copy) and approve it.
- Publish the new edition with us and check it is live on Amazon and the other stores you sell through.
- Only then ask CFP to withdraw the old edition.
What to check first
- Whose name is the ISBN registered in? (christianfaithpublishing.com/blog/what-is-an-isbn-and-why-do-i-need-one, checked 15 October 2026)
- What have you been paid so far, and what does your statement show against its royalties FAQ? (christianfaithpublishing.com/faqs/royalties-faqs, checked 15 October 2026)
- Do you hold the final interior and cover files?
To price a reprint or a proof copy before you move anything, use the calculator.
Three questions to ask any provider
Including us. The answers decide more about value than the headline price:
- Ask who the publisher of record will be. If it is not you or your imprint, understand why before you sign.
- Ask what royalty share they take. Any percentage of your sales is a cost that compounds over the life of the book.
- Ask whether you receive your editable source files. If you cannot take your interior and cover elsewhere later, you are locked in.
On all three, our answer is: you are the publisher of record, we take no royalties, and you receive your print-ready and editable files.
