Second Edition of Your Guide to Marketing Books in the Christian Marketplace Now Available
The award-winning book, Your Guide to Marketing Books in the Christian Marketplace, second edition is now available. This updated and expanded version is designed to help authors and publishers effectively promote their books.

CHARLOTTE, NC, July 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Your Guide to Marketing Books in the Christian Marketplace, winner of the Independent Publisher Award, has been updated and expanded. This brand-new, second edition of the book includes new chapters on Gathering Endorsements, Leveraging Social Networking, and The Urban Market. An index has also been added to the book.

Sales of books in the religious category have been growing faster than overall book sales for the past few years. As more publishers and authors seek to enter this successful venue, they need a resource to provide them guidance in obtaining the best promotional opportunities in this marketplace. The Christian marketplace is a unique subset of the general book market and hosts its own sources of book promotion. This updated edition of Your Guide to Marketing Books in the Christian Marketplace (978-0-9725546-8-8) provides what similar books lack: an overall view of the Christian marketplace with specific resources for promoting in this unique market.

Your Guide to Marketing Books in the Christian Marketplace has received endorsements from many experts in the book publishing field. Sally E. Stuart, author of The Christian Writers' Market Guide, has written the book's Foreword and states, "You can trust the author and follow the path she has laid out with confidence." John Kremer, author of 1001 Ways to Market Your Books, reports this book is "Incredibly useful." Patricia Fry, President of Small Publishers, Artists, and Writers Network, says, "This book could make the difference between a mediocre and a WOW promotions campaign."

The author, Sarah Bolme, is the co-founder and director of Christian Small Publishers Association (CSPA). CSPA was founded in 2004 to represent, promote, and strengthen small publishers creating materials for the Christian marketplace and serves over 70 member publishers. Sarah and her husband, Edward, are the creators of Baby Bible Board Books , a set of four board books for infant and toddlers that tell stories from the life of Jesus. The knowledge Sarah gained in marketing Baby Bible Board Books combined with her experiences helping other new and emerging publishers market products in the Christian marketplace led to the original creation of Your Guide to Marketing Books in the Christian Marketplace.
