Jar Gathering Logo.jpg
HGBM is pleased to announce the start of our Jar Gathering Mentorship Program. Through the Jar Gathering Program, we hope to help individuals use their skills and experiences to build a ministry or faith-based business around a published book. We will work with individuals who want to write their story and use it as a foundation from which to provide goods or services. Operating under the principle that God will always provide what we need when we need it and that every experience we have is part of our overall growth, we aim to help authors and entrepreneurs of all skill levels create sustainable ministries and businesses that are rooted in Christian principles. The starting point is the book! 

If you have a story to tell and you have a vision for where and to whom it needs to be told, contact us for more information on how you can publish your book and begin building your ministry/business platform. See our Services page for more information. Let HGBM help you get on the path to fulfilling your purpose. Your story is waiting!
  • Is Higher Ground Books & Media a traditional publisher?
    HGBM is considered to be a traditional publisher. We accept and review submissions, offer a standard publishing contract, and pay out royalties on sales as outlined in the author contract. We offer publishing contracts to titles which best fit our mission and vision. There is no fee for our traditional publishing contracts.
  • What is Higher Ground Books & Media?
    Higher Ground Books & Media (HGBM) is an independent publisher specializing in stories that focus on three pillars: Healing from Trauma, Using Your Gifts, and Growing Your Faith. HGBM also offers supportive services for established authors or individuals who have an interest in writing. Check out our Services page for more information on how we can help you tell your story.
  • How are HGBM books distributed?
    HGBM uses Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) to create your book. KDP distributes the books through various sales channels at their discretion. We also use Draft2Digital (D2D) to provide broader reach for our e-books. Each title is evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine the most appropriate distribution for the book. All books are published using Print-on-Demand (POD) to avoid unnecessary stockpiling and printing.
  • How can HGBM assist with self-publishing?
    HGBM offers comprehensive support for every part of the self-publishing process, including manuscript writing. Our services for self-publishing authors include: 1. **Ghostwriting** - We collaborate with you to craft a story based on your ideas and goals. 2. **Editing/Proofreading** - We review your book for spelling, grammar, and essential story elements to create a polished manuscript. 3. **Cover Design** - We create attractive covers using Canva, including options for front cover only or full cover for front and back, as well as versions for audiobooks and e-books. 4. **Self-Publishing Assistance** - We format your book as an e-book or paperback and set it up on platforms like KDP, Lulu, or Draft2Digital. 5. **Social Media Marketing** - We help promote your book with eye-catching static and video posts for social media. For more details, visit our Services page.
  • How do I know if HGBM can help with the book I'm trying to write?
    HGBM can help with fiction or non-fiction. We can work with Children's books, memoirs, mystery, science fiction, general fiction, romance, and other genres. We reserve the right to decline projects that don't align with our values as a Conservative, Christian publisher.
  • How expensive are your publishing services?
    HGBM is owned by an author who understands the unique challenges of financing a career as a writer. We strive to offer quality publishing services at a fraction of what others charge. Our rates are displayed on our Services page to help you decide which options will work best for you and your book.
