Resources for Writers

Looking for something to help you with writing or publishing? Most of these titles are general trade, rather than specifically for the Christian market, but the material is sound.

 

Art of Creative Nonfiction - Lee Gutkind

Book Proposals that Sell - Terry Whalin

Branding Faith - Phil Cooke

Christian Writers' Market Guide* - Sally Stuart

Get Known before the Book Deal - Christina Katz

Making of a Christian Bestseller - Ann Byle

On Writing Well - William Zinsser

Publicize Your Book! - Jacqueline Deval

Self-Editing for Fiction Writers - Renni Browne and Dave King

 

*If you purchase the Christian Writers' Market Guide, then you need to subscribe to The Christian Communicator, a publication of the Christian Writers' Institute. Sally Stuart writes a monthly column in which she updates information in the current edition of the Market Guide. The Christian Communicator features helpful articles for Christian writers and speakers, and so is a good resource in general.
