Invite publishes people, not products.

Our goal is to create a better publishing experience. 

We emphasize partnership and collaboration, seek to help authors discover and develop their ministry message through the publishing process, and are committed to putting real resources into the successful marketing of both individual books and the long-term personal development of the author. 

 

 

You're a thought leader.

You have a message to share. We want to help.

We are committed to collaborating with you to produce and/or distribute a variety of media to convey your message, including beautiful, well-written books, podcasts, video content, and more.

Our goal is to help you cultivate and grow your message. We envision an ecosystem of leading-edge thought leadership in which every Invite authors benefits from a virtuous cycle of mutual support and encouragement.
