Tate Publishing

Tate Publishing & Enterprises, LLC is a Christian publisher that prints books of all types. In general, it operates on the vanity press model in which most authors pay for the publication of their books. Its publishing charges may be refunded for books with sufficient sales volumes, and Tate has used a traditional publishing model for some of its authors including Joe Washington and Shane Hamman.

The company was founded by Richard and Rita Tate and is located in Mustang, Oklahoma, USA; the same company also runs the Tate Music Group record label. As of 2009, the company had doubled its operations since 2007.

In May 2012 the company fired 25 of its employees, out of over 200. According to the company president, the firing was a disciplinary action rather than a layoff, in response to employee leaks of confidential information related to rumors that the company would be outsourcing its operations to the Philippines.
