The Publishing Story: Revival Starts Here

Dave Clayton was gearing up with his team to lead a city-wide prayer and fasting movement. He had written a short guide on prayer and fasting for Ethos Church, but now he needed to edit, design, and print this resource for a broader audience.

So he came to us in 2018 looking for some editorial help while his go-to editor was on maternity leave. He knew we did editing, but he didn’t know we did publishing as well. By the end of the project, we completed the editing, design, and printing for what became a core resource for Awaken Nashville 2019 and 2020.

Specific Services We Provided

We helped with:

• Total project management
• Cover design
• Interior design and typesetting
• Brokering a large off-set print run of 20,000 units

Our project manager worked with Dave and his team throughout the process to make sure the editing and design and printing specifications were exactly what they wanted.

Revival Starts Here was published in January of 2019, and it’s now available to readers around the world who want a short guide for how to pray and fast for revival.

We enjoyed the challenge of editing this project for high impact yet with few words for a broad and ecumenical audience. We also appreciated Dave’s desire for design elements. As you can see above on this page, the final product is beautiful. It took a lot of work, but we’re happy with the final product.

We also appreciated the kind words from Geary Tanner from Discipleship.org: “If you want a trustworthy and knowledgeable source for book production, we can tell you whom to call. Discipleship.org has depended on Chad Harrington and his team since 2015. Not only do they perform excellent, accurate work, but we can also depend on their team’s unique knowledge and understanding of disciple making to confirm that the messaging in our books is correct. Use YouPublish!”
