About Us
21st Century Publishing Group was started over 15 years ago by Dr Lee Fredrickson, Dr. James combs and Dr. Ed Hindson. The 21st Century Publishing Group has four imprints, 21st Century Press, 21c Publishers, Viewpoint Press, and sonship Books. Each of our Christian publishing imprints serves a diferent purpose and each has a different audience.
For example, 21st Century Press is for authors who are writing for a broad market. We have published titles dealing with prophecy, family, spirituality and pretty much everything that deals with the Christian life. On the other hand, 21c Publishers was formed to publish books in the area of holistic medicine and success. Viewpoint Press is for authors who want to express their viewpoint and have a platform to do it. Sonship Books is our young reader imprint. Although our books cover a wide variety of subjects, one thing is true of all of them: professional quality. From the editing to the cover design to the pagination of the complete book, we strive for excellence at every level.
Who doesn't want to become a bestselling author who has his or her book on the New York Times bestselling list. Maybe you already envision yourself on the Today Show or on the 700 Club!
But the reality is...
With over 80,000 books published in the market each year, there is huge competition for shelf space in the stores and to get exposure through the media you need to have epxerienced an event that is worthy of national attention.
The get right down to the nitty gritty, less thatn 1 percent of the authors who are published through mainstream publishers get any exposure in the bookstores or through author tours.
You can decide to go through the process alone if you have the drive and publish your book on-demand. But if you have a platform to present your message and can sell more than 500 books, print on-demand is not for you.
At 21st Century Publishing Group you will receive the attention you deserve. We provide collaboration and brainstorming on your title, your cover design will be handled by a graphic artist who has his finger to the changing climate of design. We provide full editorial support by professional editors. In short will will strive to give you an award winning book.
Contact us today and we can begin the publishing process worthy of your investment.
