Creating an Author’s Community. A couple of weeks ago I mentioned I would be introducing some Christian publishers I believe are trustworthy and have valuable approaches to offer authors for their books. So here’s some information about another one of those hybrid publishers who provides authors with a wide range of services, even before they’ve finished writing their book. They start from...

And for first time authors it can be confusing as well. I was on a call recently with an author and his wife who wanted to know if Buoyancy PR could help them promote his book. They had researched marketing and publicity and had done many things right. They knew a news release was important for promoting the author’s book, so they...

Do you have a book you are longing to publish? You have a lot of choices these days. Completely doing it on your own with Amazon is one possibility. During the past week, I have spoken with two different authors who have written and published their own books, both through Amazon. One author is new to publishing and has published one book,...

If you are seeking publicity for a book, business, or cause, you are likely hoping to garner some interviews. Which is better: a radio interview or a podcast interview? Are they possibly in fact sometimes the same thing?

Christmas is a great time to shop at these stores for gifts you won’t find anywhere else, ones that express our faith and joy in the...

As we all wind down on the year and assess where we are and set targets for where we want to go in 2023 in life, faith, business, and writing, I wanted to share one more reflection from the experiences I had visiting the land where Paul worked and ministered and the church fought through cultural views to introduce the wonderful Good...

Even in ancient times, people loved sharing ideas and were writing books. For example, the photo above features on the left the three-story façade of the Library of Celsus from ancient Ephesus, yes that Ephesus, built not long after the Apostle Paul walked the nearby area. Most of you readers are authors/future authors or somehow interested or involved in the Christian publishing...

As promised, we wanted to let you know how things went for Aquila Dhu, author of In Wrath Remember Mercy, who went on a book and speaking tour for about a week at the end of August into Labor Day weekend. She considered it a success, but not in the number of books sold. She enjoyed meeting people and learning their concerns...

It’s my privilege to work with many authors, and I learn from them. Sometimes they reflect on their author journey and tell me things they learned the hard way. And by now, some topics come up repeatedly. When the same topic comes up numerous times from authors with many kinds of projects and various different publishers, I pay attention. I’ve decided to start...
