We have a blog just on Christian book marketing at http://canblog.typepad.com/canbookmarketing/ <BR/><BR/>Check it out--hope it helps!Dena Dyerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01267878559474195158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1109123734669887852005-02-22T17:55:00.000-08:002005-02-22T17:55:00.000-08:00The previous poster is right -- you don't need to have 10 books to get in a Christian bookstore. <br /><br />Publishers Weekly still does Religion Update. The next one appears in the March 28 issue. (I'm actually working on a feature for that issue at the moment, or should be.)<br /><br />And the Christian Booksellers Association is based in Colorado Springs, not Denver. The web site is www.cbaonline.org. Parts of the site are available only to members, and the membership costs are steep.<br /><br />There's so much information on the Internet about the huge Christian market that I'm certain you can find answers to any question you have.Marcia Fordhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00583408312189215536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1107977125756778222005-02-09T11:25:00.000-08:002005-02-09T11:25:00.000-08:00Not true about having to have 10 books. I only have 2 books published, and I was picked up by Faithworks, a division of the National Book Network. My books are available for ordering world wide.<br /><br />http://www.faithworksonline.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1107971322754891442005-02-09T09:48:00.000-08:002005-02-09T09:48:00.000-08:00It is virtually impossible to sell to Christian Bookstores or get accepted by a Christian book distributor unless you have ten books, (the magic number) however that does not mean you can't sell your Christian book successfully. I teach seminars on how to market your Christian book without going thru the conventional Christian market. Drop me an email and I'll send you a brief analysis of the problem, and tell where you can sell them.<br /><br />Just remember, all is not lost. Christ didn't tell us to "go ye into all the Christian bookstores and preach the Gospel."<br /><br />bfilley@yahoo.comHolyscrollerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16723958682965744199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10284418.post-1107966326162157322005-02-09T08:25:00.000-08:002005-02-09T08:25:00.000-08:00All the information you want to know about Christian publishing is available in Christian Writer's Market Guide, by Sally E. Stuart, published annually by WaterBrook Press, a division of Random House. You can get it on Amazon.com.<br /><br />Publishers Weekly magazine has a regular update on Religion books and used to run a Religion bestsellers list. I don't know if they still do. You can read back issues of PW at any large metro or university library.<br /><br />There are a lot of sites about Christian writing and publishing on the Web. Google can help you find them.<br /><br />Jack Zavada<br />A Christian Writer<br />Streator, ILAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
