Common Questions
Everything you need to know about working with 1611 Press.
1611 Press is a publishing service built specifically for pastors and Christian leaders. We help you turn your sermons, manuscripts, and outlines into professionally published books available on Amazon—fast, affordable, and without the complexity of traditional publishing.
1611 AD is the year the King James Bible was first printed. We chose the name because we believe in making the spoken word accessible in written form—just as that translation made Scripture accessible to everyday people.
We serve pastors, priests, ministry leaders, and Christian teachers across all denominations—Baptist, nondenominational, Pentecostal, Methodist, Catholic, and beyond.
3-5 weeks from the time we receive all your materials. That's significantly faster than traditional publishing, which can take 12-18 months.
