Invite publishes people, not products.

Our goal is to create a better publishing experience.

We emphasize partnership and collaboration, seek to help authors discover and develop their ministry message through the publishing process, and are committed to putting real resources into the successful marketing of both individual books and the long-term personal development of the author.

You're a thought leader.

You have a message to share. We want to help.

We are committed to collaborating with you to produce and/or distribute a variety of media to convey your message, including beautiful, well-written books, podcasts, video content, and more.

Our goal is to help you cultivate and grow your message. We envision an ecosystem of leading-edge thought leadership in which every Invite authors benefits from a virtuous cycle of mutual support and encouragement.

Lori Wagner is author of academic articles and reviews, published poetry, over 400 published sermons, The Story Lectionary (in print and online since 2015), and co-author of the novel, The Seraph Seal. She has also ghostwritten books for several prominent Christian authors. Slant is her first Christian non-fiction book. Lori has a passion for the scriptures, particularly the Hebrew scriptures with their power and potential for resonance and restoration, and a love of all that makes us uniquely human. Her work, both fiction and non-fiction, strives to delve into our deepest thoughts and feelings about ourselves, God, and each other, in order to deliver insights that can move and heal. Using a spiritual/psychological approach, she helps us to see things about ourselves that we have kept safely hidden. Her current projects include a non-fiction book called 10 Fairytales of the Church, several submitted short stories, and a psychological suspense novel in progress, The Lucifer Complex. Lori is a former pastor and professor of German and English and current author, entrepreneur, editor, workshop leader, and ghostwriter. She currently serves as Content Editor for Invite Press.
