Activities Of Christian Fiction Publishers

By Claudette Lambert


One of the profitable talents at the moment could be creativity. The creative people are really lucky. Their creativity is really taking them to great heights. This creativity has therefore been extended to biblical scriptures by some people. They write books that even children get to read and boost their biblical knowledge. But all in all, christian fiction publishers selling books are all about the social life as well as biblical scriptures.

There is a body called the American Christian Fiction Writers commonly known as ACFW. This body ensures that the printers meet certain set conditions for them to be in the market. They have put some rules too that if the publisher has not met, then they would not be able to certify their books. This means that they do not even sell their books legally.

The conditions set by the ACFW for the publishers are stated as follows. One of the conditions is that all the fiction they do publish is christian. Any form of immorality or things to do with sex, drugs and such things is not allowed. It should be purely christian and morally guiding.

In addition, the author is not allowed to be part of the production and selling team. This pertains to financial participation. He is also expected to pay their royalties. Failure to which their books are not sold. The publisher also is expected to be in then business for one year at least. In addition to this, they should have at last two books from different authors besides themselves.

The last one is that the cover of the book should be done by professionals in terms of art. It should also have professional editing. All these conditions are given for the well being of the christian books. The authors are no exception as with competent publishers then thy get paid well too.

This body also organises occasions whereby new books are released to the market. It is upon the publishers to make their application for participation. Late application of the publisher, which is an application made within six weeks before the actual release, will however not be allowed. This ia because some preparations have to be made by the organisers too and they need sufficient time to do it. Therefore the only remedy is for them to keep time in the application and submission of their papers.

Such books are written to benefit everyone. There are those that children will enjoy. Their parents have those they will also love reading. Priests and nuns as well will find themselves the best in relation to their vocation. The youth too could find their most preferred one. The reason why all these people quench their thirst in reading is because at least they can find something in their own interest. A book like Humorous Quotations by Bob Phillips can suit anyone. Another one is Road to Redemption which shows someone's journey to redemption.

Finally, there are certain christian fiction publishers that have been noted to be the best. Such are the ones that produce the best selling books. Such books as Inferno by Dan Brown is currently the top ten best seller and all this could be attributed to the efforts of the publisher too. Thus publishers being rendered as the most essential in book production.
