I'm very excited about a new publishing company that's going to have its launch on October 1. I've been hearing about Marcher Lord Press for about a year now, and I can't believe they're almost ready to start selling their first books. They're also going to have a huge prize giveaway as part of that launch.
I'm really pulling for Marcher Lord Press because they're aiming to publish good Christian fiction, but fiction that may be outside the boundaries of other traditional houses. In an online chat last year, founder Jeff Gerke said something to the effect of, if it's "weird and Christian," they're interested in it. Having just returned from the ACFW conference, where one agent's eyes sort of glazed over at my book pitch and he said, "Now that's just weird," I was naturally excited to hear this.
Whether you're interested in this kind of fiction or not, head on over to the Marcher Lord Press site and enter the contest. And if you feel so inclined, you can even say that I referred you so I'll get extra entries. (robing8300 at gmail dot com) I won't mind at all!

It's always good to hear about new presses starting up. I hope they do well! There are a lot of people writing Christian speculative books, but I'm not sure there are many publishers publishing them. Kind of like what I write! But we won't go there today. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow did Mom and I not see you?? We really wanted to meet in person. Did you know that Jeff is our agent's brother? Small world, this publishing business.

OK- I registered and put you as my referral. If you win that trip to ComiCon, I expect to be your second!
