About Harvest House
Harvest House Publishers does not accept unsolicited manuscripts, proposals or self-published books. It finds new writers through agents, paid manuscript listing services and Christian writers conferences.
Harvest House Publishers was founded in 1974 and is based in Eugene, Oregon. It publishes Christian living, apologetics, devotionals, prophecy, Bibles and studies, gift books and fiction, including Amish, historical, romance and suspense titles.
Harvest House does not read anything sent to it directly.
