Modern-day Davids & Goliaths this morning, discussing ways for independent booksellars to say in the game. "
The selection in independent Christian stores is the bulk of what keeps them alive. Big-box retailers won't have anything less than the top 25 bestsellers on their shelves, Lynn Berry, owner of Dayton's Faith Christian Bookstore said.
My friends, Cheri Gregory of the Potters House in Valdosta, Georgia and Pastor George Terrell of Joy Unspeakable Bookstore in Riverdale, Georgia both house special sections for local indie publishers and authors. They also stock their stores with many Christian fiction titles their patrons care for the most. Cheri can't keep Kingsbury in stock and George keeps Kendra Bellamy and Jaqueline Thomas books in stock.
Halo's Eve Tip: It's a good idea to meet your local christian indie booksellar. See where you work may fit on their shelves. And most importantly, see if they have a special housing for its local christian authors. If you know of any booksellars, that do this in your neighbor, leave a comment here, so that Christian Fiction can compile a database to help christian authors promote their works.
