Rebecca LuElla Miller, to whom I emailed yesterday's blog, has passed along my rantish remarks from yesterday.  Here is my reply to another poster's reply to Rebecca's post.
 


Commentary
Publishing

I discovered a post from Rebecca LuElla Miller recently in which she was calling on Christian fantasy and science fiction fans to make a difference.  She wrote:

I want to repeat that challenge. Science fiction or fantasy fans, tell ten of your friends, either through email or in person, about three (or more, for those over achievers!) of the recent Christian science fiction or fantasy books you've read and enjoyed. No restriction on who published said books. After you've done so, post a comment here at Spec Faith so we can see this grass roots movement grow.

After reading her remarks, I replied to an email with what became my blog post of yesterday.  Rebecca kindly passed on my remarks (with my permission) on her blog.  A reader (Merrie Destefano) of that blog made some good points to which I replied:
I am grateful for  Rebbecca for passing along my remarks.  I'm honestly looking for how better to connect [with] would-be-buyers and how best to provide for Christian fantasy and science fiction authors.  In my [previous] post, I was talking in generalities applicable to all small independent publishers, so I intentionally left out the URL to our site.  But since you asked...

http://www.doubleedgedpublishing.com

I really believe that the small independent publishers have an opportunity to make a difference in the Christian fantasy and science fiction landscape--and slightly differently, in the fantasy and science fiction for/by Christians landscape as well.  Thanks for your interest!

This is just the kind of dialog that I believe will help small independent publishers do their job, and that will make fresh and non-derivative works of fiction available to fantasy and science fiction fans!
