As many of you know I have been working on publishing my first book and the second is well in the works. I have been offerd one crudy contract and DAW Books dosnt think they can sell my book at the time. So that leaves me with sort of a clean slate. Where to go now? Well I was wandering how many of you read fantacy/sci-fy? Are any of the books from Christian authers? Can you give me the name(s) of the books publisher(s)? I am asking because I have found list and list of publishers. I would rather go for established ones at this point. Any help/comments would be welcomed. ~Angel~ |

k, I'm a big fan for Sci-Fi and Fantasy. and I did read some christian Scifi and Fantasy. there is Lord of the Rings, but I don't think you're looking in that direction.. hmm.. one christian sci-fi and fantasy author I read about is Stephen Lawhead. read his Empyrion books. published by Harper Prism and Zondervan. sry, but that's all I can help for now on publishing... |

Angel, This may help you grab some attention of several Christian publishers: http://www.zondervan.com/desk/subguide.asp Sounds like the ECPA.org site is the place to get your stuff looked at by many in the Christian publishing world. God bless, |

nfektious: Well that ECPA in my eyes is the last thing I want to try On the other hand the link to that publisher may come in handy. Thanks for the intel. ArchAngel: That's a nice list. I will look into them. On a bright note TOR Books is taking submissions I also have an agency im trying to work with right now. ~Angel~ |

Yes the Stephen Lawhead books were pretty impressive. What about skimming through the online catalogs of the Christian bookstores? I presume you've got some big ones over there in the USA, but I find my local one to be very comprehensive (www.koorong.com.au). |

AmazingJas I'm not finding anything there that is like my book. Its a nicly lade out site though. I can understand why you like it The big issue for me is that my book dosnt fall into the normal catigories. It has history (fictional), romance, epic battles, adventure- I mean the only thing that really can come close to my style is maybe an RPG games story line but thats a very ruff relation. I may e-mail TOR directly and see if they could even think about acomdating a book such as mine. Thanks for the link though ~Angel~ |

Well when I make it big I am going to try my hardist to stick around here. I dont know if that will be posibul but its worth trying. Oh and wouldnt you want the book to have more then my name on it I could write a persenal message- then it would be worth a lot more ~Angel~ |

I'm a fan of Star Wars/Star Trek Sci-fi stuff. If something's similar to those, I might read it. ------------------ |
