As a writer interested in book publishing, I was encouraged to find a Christian publishing company; csnbooks. I went to their website, csnbooks.com and found an immense wealth of knowledge especially in their book 'Before You Publish'. In the free online book and via a phone conversation with helpful staff, I was provided with information for books, copyright, cover design, distribution (such as Amazon), editing, gost writing, ISBN, marketing, POD, printing, print on Demand, relationships with printers, proofing, differences in publishing, self publishing and subsidy publishing, transcribing and writing.

Selling Books in a Slow Market

Right now people are not buying Christian books at the rate they did a year ago. How do you manage distribution and marketing in a slow publishing market?
For one, the writer needs to be willing to speak to small groups, conferences and seminars. At CSN Books we encourage our authors to speak to small men's and women's groups, and book conferences and seminars.
Another thing is to visit bookstores with our catalog, helping in the distribution and marketing.
Before you publish, please rmember that as the writer your job is not over with the writing.
Your task has only begun.

Dr. Michael Wourms

Publishing Fact #9

Publishing Fact #9 A first time published book may have as many as 30 errors per 100 pages. This is actually not that uncommon for a first printing and most of the errors are so minor that they are never even noticed. A publisher looking to put out a perfect book may need to run it through as many as 10 different proofers and even that does not guarntee perfection and could cost as much as $15,000 just for proofing. The truth is a good proofer from an established publisher will make sure you will meet industry standards and remember, like life perfection is rarely if ever reached.

Publishing Fact #8

Publishing Fact #8- There is a big difference between a printer and a publisher. A good publisher like CSN Books knows that the industry has standards so production is just a small part of publishing. A printer will not care what condition your book is in, they wont care if the book is properly proofed or if the cover meets industry standards, all they care about is plugging your book into a production line and spitting out books. If you need a publisher who cares I reccomend CSN Books.

“Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a
great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.”
