LOL<BR/><BR/>But needless to say, CBE will be a wonderful fit for CBA and ECPA Christian publishers. Not such a good deal for those publishers who provide work for the gneral market.<BR/><BR/>But maybe those publishers have figured that out on their own. :)Author Sue Denthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15610585940904518767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045996437412026908.post-3049480257386292582008-12-13T02:00:00.000-05:002008-12-13T02:00:00.000-05:00So, if you're wondering about what Christian publi...<I>So, if you're wondering about what Christian publishers will attend [the CBE], so far it seems only CBA or ECPA-affliated ones.</I><BR/><BR/>Well yes, it does stand to reason that the publishers attending will be ECPA members considering the CBE is nurtured from the womb of this group.<BR/><BR/>I guess what I find frustrating is that while this group honestly saw itself as the only purveyors of Christian fiction in the past, they can't reasonably see it any longer. <BR/><BR/>With their very words, they perpetuate the myth that they are the only game in town. <I>I don't know of a single Christian publisher who is NOT attending Christian Book Expo.</I> <BR/><BR/>I hope what Mr. Hyatt meant is any <B>real</B> Christian publisher because obviously TWCP wouldn't register with its measely handful of books each year.<BR/><BR/>But, it doesn't come across that way. The suggestion that TWCP and other fine small houses aren't really publishers of <B>Christian</B> fiction is something we combat everyday in the market place. <BR/><BR/><I>. . . serve that specific demographic CBA and ECPA were set up to protect.</I><BR/><BR/>A word of advice, Sue: I know what you mean by the above, but some will misinterpret.
