ABOUT US
Welcome to a brand new imprint!
I'm Jennifer Farey, the founder of Compass Rose Press. In 2016, I started Journey Fiction in order to mentor promising authors and bring their stories to readers. In 2018, I answered the call to assist pastors and other people of faith make their non-fiction books and drama resources available to the public at large.
Our statement of faith: We believe in the love of God the Father, the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Why choose Compass Rose Press?
With so many options for writers, why would you want to publish with Compass Rose? Maybe because:

You don't have an agent but are ready to submit.
-
You want to have input on cover design and editing decisions.
-
You want to be part of a faith-based publishing community that supports its members and values open communication.
If you relate to one or more of the above reasons, Compass Rose Press may be the place for you.
What can we do for you?
We're a small company with a big vision, and our authors are a huge part of that. Here are our responses to the questions we're asked most often:
-
How much does it cost to publish with Compass Rose? Nothing! We evaluate submissions, decline the ones that won't work for us, and extend an offer of publication to those that stand out. If the author accepts, we then send a contract to seal the deal.
-
Will my manuscript be edited prior to publication? Will a professional design my cover? The answer to both questions is: Absolutely! We produce high quality books, inside and out.
-
Does Compass Rose offer an advance? No. However, we offer a higher royalty rate than most traditional publishers.
