2017 Christian Writers Market Guide Now Online!

The 2017 edition of The Christian Writers Market Guide is officially available in print and ebook (paperback $22.99, ebook $9.99). Check your favorite bookstore or online retailer for a copy. Make sure you have a copy of this book in your arsenal!

We are also very excited to announce that all the content of the guide is now available online via a subscription service (click here to see for yourself). The advantage to you is that the entries will be updated throughout the year. As soon as we get new information or a new entry or a correction, it will be in the online edition.

The web site is under the URL of www.christianwritersmarketguide.com.

We’ve worked very hard at The Christian Writers Institute to program this new site to meet your needs. You can search the entire database and surf listings just like you do with the print or ebook edition. You can save entries for later access, thereby customizing your account to meet your needs. You can even print out your personalized listings for reference.

For example, the picture below is a screen shot of a search in the periodical section for the topic of “poetry.” The left hand column shows how many results can be found for each category and the right hand, main screen, shows alphabetical links to each magazine found in the results.

In addition, the site is designed to be responsive so it will render well on any device: desktop, laptop, tablet, or phone. This makes the Guide available to you anytime, anywhere.

Below is the special pricing we have for the online edition.

Good publishing takes time. Time to write well. Time to edit well. Time to find the right agent. Time to find the right publisher. Time to edit again and re-write. Time to design well. Time to market well. While there can be a lot of activity it still feels like “time” is another word for “wait.” No one likes to wait for anything. Our instant society (everything from …

This is way too much fun. Imagine an entire gymnasium, on its home court, during a college basketball game, being completely silent…until something special happens. Enjoy this ESPN story about a Taylor University tradition.

And to which store are the most books sold? CBA is a label to describe the Christian book market. It used to be an acronym for Christian …

Try the choreography with your family this weekend! (link to the instructions at the end of the video.) The first 45 seconds should be easy enough. But then gets a little more fun. Your group may not sound as amazing as this one however.

You have spent years writing your book and now it has been published by a traditional publisher. It took a while for the publisher to bring it to market. But it is finally out there. Dreams have been realized. You. Are. A. Published. Author. But then the sales reports begin to appear. Sales have floundered. There isn’t any buzz. No one is even commenting on your Facebook page. It’s a …
