Our Mission:
CrossHouse Publishing is a Christian self-publishing company committed to offering professional publishing services customized to our authors’ needs and to providing quality books to the marketplace.
Our History:
CrossHouse Publishing began as an offshoot of Hannibal Books, a traditional publishing house in the Dallas area. Hannibal Books, established in the mid-1980s in Hannibal, MO, launched CrossHouse Publishing in 2005 as its self-publishing arm. Since its inception, Dr. Katie Welch, a Baylor University graduate who also holds a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Texas at Arlington, has spearheaded CrossHouse—nurturing and leading the company to maturity. In 2011, Dr. Welch and her husband took over ownership of the company. While now independently-owned, CrossHouse Publishing still maintains close ties with Hannibal Books—the two companies even share staff members! Our authors now benefit from the experience and high standards of a traditional publishing house with the flexibility of self-publishing.
