New Faculty Member
Larry Carpenter

Larry has been in the Christian publishing industry for 26 years, serving as:

President and CEO of the largest Christian distributor, Ingram/Spring Arbor
Vice President of Marketing for Thomas Nelson
President of Standard Publishing

Currently Larry serves as President and CEO of Christian Book Services, LLC. Larry works with authors desiring a contract with an established publisher, helping them to create their book proposal and find a literary agent.

For those authors desiring more control over the publishing of their book, Larry works with them to design their book, edit their book, get their book printed, and get it sold and distributed through all of the major book distributors. The price for this process, called “custom publishing,” is significantly lower and the quality of the design and editing of the book is significantly higher than that offered by the internet-based self-publishing companies.

In the last three years, Larry’s company has helped authors publish over 200 books through his publishing imprint of Carpenter’s Son Publishing.

Larry is available for 15 minute appointments as well as 30-minute paid critiques at the July 31 – August 3 Greater Philly Christian Writers Conference. Because he is a late addition to the faculty, the due date for manuscripts (for Larry only) has been extended to July 25 by email. Paid critiques and appointments are available on a first-come basis, so if you plan to take advantage of this great opportunity, you need to register for the conference ASAP. I guarantee a paid critique with Larry will be worth far more than the $35 cost.

It’s not too late to register for the conference but please note that after July 15 meals will cost more. I also can’t guarantee on-campus lodging after July 15. If needed, you can register with a deposit and pay the balance when you arrive or in time payments.
