Right now, there’s a gap in our faith’s literature for children, and after speaking with so many people, there are so many talented people who wish to fill that gap, but just may not know where to get started to put their book out into the world.

People ask, should they self publish? What does that entail? How much work does that involve? What about marketing? If you’re interested in being your own entrepreneur, absolutely go ahead and self-publish, but if all the back end work sounds tedious and you just want your book to be published and loved, then consider going the route of publishing.

MECCA is open to submissions to help take your book from draft to publication and distribution across the world. In 2025, we’re asking for collaboration as we figure out the ins and outs of publishing amid international tariffs, and as we finalize our marketing strategy for future books, but if you’d like to be part of a larger company of authors, artists and educators who can focus on creating instead of all the ins and outs of self-publishing, we’re here for you.

Send us your submission with a small introduction to mecca.arts@gmail.com

P.S. AI writing is relatively easy to spot when you know what to look for. While you’re welcome to use it to help you plot, plan, and punctuate, please make sure the words and the voice are your own before submitting.
