Where practical, we will only collect information directly from you and those submitted by you. If we collect it from another source, we will do what is reasonably possible to inform you that we have collected the information.
Storing personal information
Your information is held either in paper-based records or in electronic form in our databases. We take proper precautions to ensure the security of that information. If your information is no longer needed, we will either delete it from our systems or de-identify it, so that it cannot be attributed to you personally.

We do not normally disclose your personal information to anyone. If we intend to do so, we will contact you before we do.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold is accurate, and we will put into effect any changes that you ask for.

EDITORIAL POLICY
Through its publishing activities St Pauls Publications seeks to assist the ongoing renewal of the Church in the spirit of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council. Following its founder, Fr James Alberione, its goal is to help bring the whole Christ (Way, Truth and Life) to the whole person (mind, heart, and will).
It's principal activities are in the field of print media through the publication of books, pamphlets and liturgical bulletins. However, aware of the immense impact of the audio and visual media in today's society it is committed to the development of projects utilising these media, alone and in collaboration with other media organisations.
- The specific goals of its editorial policy are:
- To give priority to the Word of God through the publication and diffusion of the Bible, and the publication of commentaries and discussion guides on the sacred Scriptures.
- To make the official teachings of the Catholic Church known through the publication in Australia of documents of the Holy See and, when requested, documents of the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference.
- To publish works in areas of spirituality, prayer, religion, liturgy and catechesis for both children and adults. Specifically, to seek works that reveal the richness of the Christian tradition while pointing to the movement of the Spirit of God in our own time and place.
- To give prominence to works concerned with the development of the Australian Church. At least fifty per cent of all books published are to be authored locally.
- To collaborate with publishing houses operated by the Society of St Paul in other countries, and with other publishing houses, to make the works of Australian authors known internationally and to publish in Australia relevant works originating in other countries. The annual Frankfurt Book Fair (October) and the Religious Book Trade Exhibit (Chicago, June) are utilised to promote international contact and collaboration.
SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
- St Pauls Publications will consider unsolicited manuscripts, provided:
- They are within the range of its editorial policy as enunciated above.
- They are neatly typed and presented as a hard (paper) copy. A computer disk containing the work will be required for it to be accepted for publication, however this should not be sent initially with the manuscript.
- They are accompanied by a letter giving biographical details about the author, the author's indication of potential market, and any other information relevant to the assessment of the manuscript.
- They are posted to: The Editor, St Pauls Publications, PO Box 906, Strathfield NSW 2135, Australia.
Manuscripts usually take four to six weeks to assess. However, more time may be necessary for specific manuscripts. As a general rule, frequent communications from authors inquiring about the status of their work does not help its prospects of being accepted. Please be patient.
