Who We Are

Committed to Publishing and Sharing God's Truth by Devout Authors of Color

As Christians, we are called to study Christ’s teachings and share His Good News with others.


We all have a story to tell that can inspire, educate, and impact the lives of others. It may be personal testimony or spiritual insights gained from study or life experience that can enhance the lives of fellow believers. No matter the topic, one of the best ways to ensure your story reaches as many people as possible is by publishing a book.

At Uriel Press, we work with authors to self-publish culturally relevant books that transform and empower people of color. Whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, a memoir, or even a children’s story, we can help you create the book you envision.

Uriel Press is the self-publishing division of Urban Ministries, Inc. (UMI), the largest independent African American-owned Christian media company. We are committed to building the world’s best community for authors of color to publish their books and grow in their love for God.

Our Mission

Giving voice to more stories of faith

We are passionate about enabling more voices to share their stories of faith. Whether in the pulpit or the pew, we provide aspiring authors of color the opportunity to help readers discover their work and God’s truth.
