Welcome Home to a Place Where Creative Minds Nurture Each Other.
Welcome to Creative House Press. We are excited to have you visit our web page and we hope that you will check out our New Books which are scheduled for release next year. And of course, please check out the amazing books that we have already published.
CHIP, Inc. is expanding every year and we are always looking for the newest, freshest writers and artist around the world. Do you think that you have what it takes to get published? Then get started on your journey:
We encourage you to come back, as often as possible, to see what new and exciting books, and specialty items, that we bring to the market. Don’t forget to check us out on Amazon, Amazon/Kindle, iPhone/iPod/iPad and Android.
About Us
The staff at Creative House International Press, Inc. has over 19 years of experience in the publishing industry. This includes writers, publishers, editor's and artists. We have worked with a variety of styles of publication and outlets.
This is a House where Creative Minds are encouraged and nurtured in a positive way.
What is Creative House Press?
We are a diverse group of people working together for the sole purpose of helping YOU, the writer, artist to get published. We do this through traditional and non-traditional publishing methods.
What sets CHP apart from others?
What sets us apart from other publishing firms is our Readers Club. Prior to publishing, select members of the general public are given the opportunity to read your manuscript and then give feedback on it. This allows YOU, the writer, to see how well your work will do in the market.
Once we (meaning CHP and you) determine the best avenue for your work, we will work closely with you to make your book the best it can be. This includes cover design, text layout, marketing materials, and other items.
What about my copyrights?
Depending on the avenue you choose for your work, we may ask to hold the copyrights for up to five years. During the initial setup, our staff will work closely with you to guide you through the process and determine the route best suited to handle your work.
How long will it take for my book to be in print?
Your book can go from manuscript to print in as little as two weeks. However, we don’t recommend this. We will take whatever amount of time may be necessary to make sure your book is as good as it can possibly be before it goes to print. Based on the feedback from the Readers Club, our editors, and discussions with YOU, we will determine the timeline necessary to bring your book into print form.
How much input do I have in the creation of my book?
A LOT! The author knows his/her material better than anyone else. He/She may not know how to market it, but with constant communication between YOU and our staff, the final results of your work will be the best they can be.
What will be my cost?
There is always cost associated with getting your work published, but we don't ask for any money from you.
The only time you are asked for money is to purchase additional marketing materials that you use, or the books that you wish to sale yourself. There is never a request for money to you from us to have your book published.
Bertha Connally Abraham
B. Connally Abraham wrote If Only for a Season, because like Elizabeth Catlett “I want my life to be constructive; I am not interested in being rich or famous or important, but to make my life important.” I want my life to reflect the process of building up, not tearing down. I want someone to look at my life and see that their dreams are possible too. And at the end of the day when the light in my eyes grow dim I want someone to recognize my life’s work not just because of me but because of the one who gave to me that which I gave back.
I am married to John my high school sweetheart. Michael, Jay and Brad make up the Abraham family circle along with my terrific and only grandson, Zach. Brad no longer has a physical address but his presence is felt every day. Travel is my greatest passion with the exception of family and friends there is nothing that I enjoy more. Reading, writing and gardening fall right in line at a close second, third and fourth respectively. Books allow the impossible to become possible by simply engaging the imagination. It is equally as enjoyable visiting Yellowstone National Park through the pages of a book to experience its majestic beauty.
Justin Hoffman-Slater
Justin has written many books and posts related to super heroes. He is best know for his multi-book series on Superman and was recognized commercially when MoonAtMidnight used his books in a giveaway promotion for their popular Superman sweatshirts. When not writing about superheroes, Justin can usually be found coding. He's responsible for a number of well known software solutions for internet applications. He briefly worked for Myspace and consulted on Google+'s short lived social media effort.
Jonathan Amaret
Jonathan Amaret was born in Houston in 1984. Throughout his professional career he has earned numerous achievements in transportation, aviation, aerospace science, fine arts and cinema, including the notable titles of Presidential Scholar, NASA Texas Aerospace Scholar, and licensed aviator at the age of seventeen. As a filmmaker, his projects have headlined with distinguished casts including renowned Academy Award, Golden Globe, Emmy, and Grammy winners. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Film, Television & Media Studies from California State University in Los Angeles where he lives and works as an author, screenwriter, actor and producer.
Marsean Bierria
Marsean has always had a passion for writing, even in his younger years he felt this urge to write on a variety of subjects. While in middle school, he was a writer for the school newspaper, and was invited to Austin as part of the middle school newspaper team for their skills. In High School he competed in U.I.L. competition and won for impromptu speaking, which he continues to do at various poetry readings. His quick wit and ability to reach deep within his soul, has made him one of the up and coming poets to watch for. His first book; Tangerine Dream is one to be read.
Filip Anslow
Filip created and produced the music used by the major networks, sports teams, cable networks, TV & radio stations, & program producers. When his kids were still toddlers, he quickly discovered that innovative audio for children did not exist. The major publishers and labels were not developing audio beyond books-on-tape or classics read by celebrities. Filip committed resources toward the development of programs for kids that would not only make full use of modern recording technologies but also fused the storytelling power of sound with sophisticated story concept. He wrote numerous fantasy stories for his audio series and although he had effusive reviews and faithful customers, he couldn't make a decent living through this creative outlet. Jump ahead ten years: Having built several websites for his own creative labors, Filip decided to move into web design and eventually became a sought after SEO expert. One one of his first clients was Von Paris, neighborhood Baltimore movers, the company that had actually moved him and his family from Baltimore to the the Washington DC area. When the owner of Von Paris found out what Filip did, he asked him to take a look at the Von Paris' website. One thing led to another and Von Paris Moving & Storage hired Filip. Filip is now well known for his approach to Search Engine Optimization, the quest for high ranks starting with an appreciation of science, semantics, and a realistic view of Google's capability and intentions. He's so busy now with clients, he has little time for his former pursuits. Our loss.
