Imagine a coffee shop packed with award-winning Christian novelists, top editors, literary agents, and publicists. Each one is taking turns sitting down with you, giving you their best writing advice. Sort of like speed dating for writers.

In the ever-changing publishing world, you must stay on top of your game to succeed. This book will give you a leg up, with practical tips and advice you can use on your novel writing journey.

Includes advice from Karen Kingsbury, Frank Peretti, Ted Dekker, Jerry B. Jenkins, Josh McDowell, Liz Curtis Higgs, Francine Rivers, James Scott Bell, Terri Blackstock, Randy Alcorn, Melody Carlson, and many more!

MY THOUGHTS

The idea of sitting down one-on-one with more than 100 of the best-known names in Christian publishing and gleaning from their wisdom would delight anyone taking those first steps toward publication or even just considering becoming an author, but of course, it could never happen. With this book, C J Darlington has made that a reality and placed the results as close as the nearest e-reader, and the result is a treasure of a book. As a reader who has had just a peek into the publishing industry, I was fascinated by the assortment of individuals who participated in this project and the scope of advice they gave. I highly recommend this for authors and readers alike.
