Ignatius Press

Ignatius Press is a Catholic theological publishing house based in San Francisco, California, United States. It was founded in 1978 by Father Joseph Fessio, a former pupil of both Henri de Lubac and Josef Ratzinger (later Pope Benedict XVI). Named after Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order, it is the primary English-language publisher of the works of Pope Benedict XVI, Hans Urs von Balthasar, Henri de Lubac, Robert Cardinal Sarah, Peter Kreeft, Adrienne von Speyr, Robert Spitzer, and others. In an interview in 1998, Fessio said Ignatius Press's objective "is to support the teachings of the Church". The Press also produces The Catholic World Report, Homiletic and Pastoral Review, Ignatius Insight and the blog Ignatius Insight Scoop.

Large trade publishers generally accept manuscripts only through literary agents, while many independent and small presses accept direct submissions during reading periods. Before submitting anywhere, read the publisher's current guidelines, study recent books on its list, and never pay a reading or publishing fee to a traditional publisher.
