A board that coordinates all phases of the literature ministry in the world through regional literature ministry coordinating boards. It serves as a central advisory, planning and coordinating board, dealing with the initiation, production, and distribution of Seventh-day Adventist literature. It also promotes compatibility of equipment among the publishing houses and is the administrator of the Publishing Development Fund.
An important part of the coordination of publications deals with Ellen White books. The WLMCB facilitates the production of Ellen White books in French, Spanish, and Portuguese to avoid duplication of translation and to ensure larger print runs and lower unit costs. The board membership is made up of General Conference officers and publishing leaders, division presidents, division publishing directors, and select publishing house managers. This board normally convenes once in each quinquennium, with an executive committee of the board meeting once or twice yearly.
