Jeff Gerke
You’ve always wanted to have your book published and now you’re serious about making it happen.
But as you look through the services and packages and fees and strange new vocabulary, maybe you’re feeling a little overwhelmed.
- What kind of binding should your book have?
- What level of edit do you need?
- What is typesetting, anyway?
- Why does marketing cost so much?
- If I pay less for a cover design, will I be sorry?
If only someone could just walk you through it. How nice it would be to have someone there to explain what you’re looking at and what it all means.
That’s where the book shepherd comes in. Think of a book shepherd as a publishing coach, a tour guide who can ease you through the entire journey and make sure you don’t miss a thing.
Jeff Gerke is the ideal mentor for you as you enter your publishing adventure. Since 1994 Jeff has been in the Christian publishing industry–as a published author, a staff editor with major publishing companies, and now as publisher of his own indie press. Jeff has been involved in the publishing process from start to finish from all three perspectives.
If you just want someone to help you get oriented and understand all the choices at BelieversPress, Jeff is your guy. If you want help understanding the difference between short run and traditional run printing, Jeff can help you. And if you want someone else to be your spokesman when it comes to talking with any or all of the service providers at BelieversPress, Jeff’s your man. Shoot, Jeff is even one of the editors at BelieversPress, so he can help you know if he or one of the other editors would be the best fit for your project.
When it comes to the idea of seeing your book in print, it’s very exciting. But the reality of all the choices and options and fees involved in making it happen can take the wind out of your sails. Let Jeff Gerke guide you through it all. He’s friendly, occasionally funny, and has more than 15 years of experience helping authors turn their dreams into printed books.

If you feel you have an unrecognized talent for writing, or if you simply love to write and want to do it, my advice is write. But write without ambitious pride, which makes you feel it is a ‘waste’ to write what will never be published. Write to communicate with someone, even if it is literally only one person. It is not a waste to write beautiful prose or poetry for one person’s eyes alone!
