During a conference many authors ask , "How long do I have to submit my manuscript to you?" In other words, "Is there a time limit?"

The simple answer is, "The offer to submit to me does not expire."

Why? Because I like to find new authors and develop, nurture, and encourage their work. My goal is to create a career for that writer. This philosophy is one of the reasons we are so …

Last week I let you in on a few of the things I learned from editors and writers at the American Christian Fiction Writer’s conference in Dallas. This week I want to share what I heard from my fellow agents.

One of the silver linings of writers conferences is getting to spend time with folks who not only understand what you do, but who do it! As you all know, writing is a solitary endeavor. …

by Tamela Hancock Murray

As most of you know, I am just back from the American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW) conference, held in Dallas this year. Attendance was nearly 700 this year -- amazing in this sluggish economy. People are still buying books, which means authors keep writing, and publishers are acquiring. That's the good news.

Contrary to the opinions of bloggers who make …

As many of you know, we at the agency were in Dallas, Texas this last week at the American Christian Fiction Writers’ conference. Folks told me it was too bad we had to go this time of year, that it was unbelievably hot and humid.

I wouldn’t know.

From the time I got to the hotel until I checked out, I never stepped a foot outside. Why, you may ask? Well, let’s see…

The American Christian Fiction Writers’ conference (acfw.com) is just around the corner (Sept. 18-23 in Dallas, TX), and I’m seeing increasing buzz online about all the fun attendees are going to have. It’s true, too. Writers’ conferences are a lot of fun, especially those focused on the Christian market. In fact, I’ve equated them to church camp because the feel is very much the same. It’s a …

This is the last installment of my proposal series. You may think it strange to write about the cover letter last, but usually, it's the last part of the proposal an author writes. Our own Steve Laube has already written about the cover letter here.

His tips are so wonderful that I asked him if I should even attempt this post, but he encouraged me to write from my perspective. So here are key …

When you consider purchasing a book, either in a store or online, what do you notice first? The front cover grabs your attention. Right? After that, you might flip inside to read the first few sentences of the book, and then venture to the back cover (online the back cover is displayed as the “Description”). Or you may go to the back cover before opening the book. Regardless, the back cover copy …

Thomas Nelson Publishers citing "loss of confidence" pulls a book about Thomas Jefferson from circulation - What a mess. People are taking sides and calling this an issue of free speech while others applaud the move and call it smart. More from World Magazine on the issue and a quote from the VP of editorial at the publisher can be found here. Bottom line? The book is no longer available from the …
