CKN Christian Publishing

CKN Christian Publishing is a publishing imprint of Wolfpack Publishing. What started as an e-book promotional site has grown into something larger than ever expected: an up-and-coming publishing company.

We are dedicated to bringing readers wholesome novels that ensure there’s something for everyone to read. We are currently focusing on publishing Christian and clean novels in the following genres: romance, historical, western, Amish, science-fiction, and mystery. However, we are open to other genres as long as there are no sexually explicit scenes, graphically violent descriptions, or streams of profanity. At this time, we are NOT accepting non-fiction or children’s manuscripts.

CKN Christian Publishing is pleased to have one of the most author-friendly contracts out there. We are made up of devoted readers and writers, so we know what you want to see and we know how to be successful at it. If and when we choose to accept your manuscript, we will take care of the rest, while also letting your voice be heard. All you have to worry about is writing a book that readers are sure to love.

Mike Bray, CEO

Mike Bray boasts three decades of experience in internet marketing, with a specialization in search engine optimization. As the CEO of Wolfpack Publishing, a company he co-founded in 2013 with western writer L.J. Martin, Bray has demonstrated impressive leadership in the publishing sector. Under his guidance, the company swiftly amassed a significant portfolio of western authors and their previous works. By December 2016, Wolfpack achieved a remarkable milestone of selling 2 million books. The company’s growth trajectory was further validated when, in 2017, Mr. Martin opted for retirement and sold his stake to Bray.

Today, Wolfpack stands as one of America’s fastest-growing publishers. It has earned the honor of being listed twice on Inc. Magazine’s compilation of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. Additionally, the company has been featured twice in Publishers Weekly’s roundup of the top 10 fastest-growing publishers in America, even clinching the #1 spot in 2021 as the fastest-growing publisher in America.
