The Publishing Company Engine: Unseen, Quiet, Efficient
When you’re driving a car that runs smooth and quiet, you forget that the hot, oil-lubricated, water-cooling, computerized engine does the hard work for you. But without the engine, your car would not move.
At WinePress Publishing, our Accounting department is like the engine under the hood. While you may not see it or notice it, we’re the driving force that keeps the other departments running smoothly and efficiently.
We serve our authors and customers by providing them with professional services. For example:
- You don’t have to file sales tax reports.
- You don’t have to do math calculation or currency conversions at home.
We do them for you!
- You don’t even have to mail a check or pick up the phone.
We have special programs and online payment options that are easy, convenient, and secure.
We strive to use the best technology for our accounting systems. To that end, our software programmers are constantly working to combine our accounting software with the online software suite designed by WinePress to make the book production and sales process efficient.
You trust us as a company, and we take that trust seriously. We will continue to use technology to safeguard that trust.

37 WinePress Authors to Attend Christian Book Expo (CBE)
WinePress authors will be out in force at the first-ever Christian Book Expo, held at the Dallas, Texas Convention Center from March 20-22. 
Thirty-seven WinePress authors—the largest group of authors attending from any publishing house exhibiting at the expo—will be signing books and teaching presentations.
During the three-day expo, to which the public is invited, over 140 authors will be leading workshops and seminars, doing book signings and readings, and participating in panel discussions.
Friday and Saturday nights will feature times of corporate worship and inspiration as attendees gather to celebrate the impact of Christian literature.
Mark Kuyper, President of Evangelical Christian Publishers Association (ECPA), says the evening events will feature innovative multimedia elements as well as multiple authors and music artists. The programs will not be standard keynote speaker events, but will be inspirational, multi-sensory experiences that inspire attendees to read and recommend books to others.
We’re anticipating a high-energy event!

What Basketball and Publicity Have in Common
He shoots; he scores! 
I grew up in Southern California with the LA Lakers—Kareem, Magic, Shaq. With those names, how could you not like the game?
Basketball is great, whether you’re playing a pick-up game in a friend’s driveway or watching the Dream Team in the Olympics. In the same way I enjoy the “game” of publicity, and have discovered that basketball and book publicity are alike in several ways:
1. Training vs. Talent
Publicity takes commitment. It isn’t one game or one hoop that ultimately sets players and teams as winners. It’s the players’ commitment to be in it for the long haul, all the way to the play-offs.
Don’t be discouraged when your “game” isn’t going as you wanted; commit yourself to promoting your message all the way to the “play-offs” and you will see results.
2. Every Basket Counts
Can you relate? On the road to the play-offs, there are many two-pointers. Local radio shows in Middle-of-Nowhere, South Dakota, may not seem important, especially when you’re striving to be a best-selling author. But they still count. In the long run, it only takes one basket to win a game.
3. The Globetrotters!
Follow their example and have fun. If you get too focused on the results of publicity, you won’t enjoy yourself. Instead, explore your talents and strengths. Don’t be afraid to have some fun; you’ll find that you will increase your “game” along the way.
