Get Your Christian Fiction and Nonfiction Published OnDemand Webinar

ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Authors in Christian publishing constantly talk about wanting to write a book that "crosses over." Folks outside Christian book publishing wonder if they can break in to Christian publishing houses and enjoy the benefits of one of the most profitable, focused and fastest growing markets in publishing history.

Determining which market you should, or want to write for is essential, but can be challenging. If you write inspirational books, does that mean they only fit with a Christian publishing company? If you write edgy, literary, or unconventional books, do they only fit with ABA, or general market publishers? And what if you write somewhere in the middle, or want to write both?

Figuring out your audience , your target reader , is the key to determining where you fit as an author. There are some key factors to take into account that will provide solid direction. We'll discuss the pros, cons, pitfalls, and opportunities of choosing one over the other; switching from one market to the other; or attempting to write for both. Instructor Sandra Bishop is a literary agent who has worked with dozens of published authors on projects for both markets, and has successfully helped writers cross from one market to the other.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

"I am a Christian fiction writer and felt like I learned so much from Sandra, about the industry and specifically about Christian publishing. I highly recommend this webinar, as it really gives you an idea of where your writing fits and what you need to succeed."
