Morgan James Publishing is an American independent book publisher and distributor founded in 2003 in Virginia by David L. Hancock. Morgan James uses a Vanity press model in which some authors must pre-pay fees against the publisher's royalties to be published.[3][4] The company focuses on four book categories: non-fiction, fiction, faith and kids. Publishers Weekly listed the publishing house as one of the fastest-growing independent publishers of 2014, 2015 and 2018, thanks to its growing business—entrepreneurial business nonfiction.[5][6][7]
