Publishing with Logos
The old Logos website used to have a section containing information on submitting personal works to Logos for publication consideration. I haven't found this kind of information on the new site yet. Does anyone know if they still do this?

This is something that is being considered for PBB. http://community.logos.com/forums/p/3239/24581.aspx#24581

That seems to be talking about self-publishing at best. I was wondering about commercial publishing with Logos; submitting a manuscript for Logos to publish, or submitting a digitization project on behalf of a church.

email pgons@logos.com and he will direct you to the right person
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

That will definitely work and your query will get to the right person, but a more direct route is to send queries to ghoncoop@logos.com

Greta, welcome to the Forums. May I ask, what sort of queries you are fielding? Just publication ones?

It has been close to two years now, but I made an inquiry along these lines and was told that Logos is only interested in producing titles which have already been previously published. They apparently don't want to get into the publishing business per se. Knowing Bob (from comments I heard him make in person shortly after L4 was released), he has expressed little interest in something as basic as adding enhanced word processing function for notes. I suspect he isn't going to want to get into reading and evaluating new titles for possible publication. Of course, he can speak for himself on this. But I am under the impression that he doesn't want to get far afield from his vision of Logos's core business--electron RE-publication.

The new Evangelical Exegetical Commentary is a big exception to this, so I imagine it somewhat depends on what a person submits. The fact that they don't advertise this interest anywhere supports the general view that they are in the re-publication business, as you say.

Another exception is James Rosscup's An Exposition on Prayer in the Bible. It had never been published in print before Logos picked it up.

According to LinkedIn, Greta is the Aquisitions Editor for Logos, as of May 2011. That should give an indication as to what sort of queries she is fielding. Previously (since 2008) she had worked as a team leader in the Electronic Text Development group. Congrats on the promotion, Greta, and welcome to the Forums!

Of course, the EEC was already slated for a hard copy publish, and then the project hit the skids. Logos just made the decision to pick it up anyway and shepherd it along. Someone had already given the project a "pass".
I'm not familiar with the particulars of Rosie's example.

That may have been the case with the example I gave too, as there are all kinds of review blurbs given for the "print edition" on the product description, though the blog post says it was never published before, and a search of library and amazon sources shows that it hasn't appeared in print. Maybe the author was preparing to get it published, had secured reviews from various people, but hit a snag in the publishing process, and got Logos to pick it up. That's just a guess, so don't quote me on it.
