She adroitly covers all the essential bases—promotion, publicity, distribution, special sales and traditional marketing. Her detailed contact listings are the golden nuggets that give the book its unfathomable value. An author or publisher armed with this expert guide would have to try hard not to succeed.<br />     “I now have valuable information I had not seen anywhere else, and I have been involved in Christian publishing for more than seven years. Every Christian author and publisher needs this book.”</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><em>Debbie Thurman<br /> Cedar House Publishers</em></p> <p>“One thing that shines through as you read this book is the author’s knowledge of the industry. You can trust the author and follow the path she has laid out with confidence.”</p> <p style="text-align:right;"><em>Sally E. Stuart, Author</em><br /> Christian Writers’ Market Guide</p> <p>“It was one of the most informative books I have ever read on marketing.
