Flagging Economy Strengthens Sales of Christian Fiction

Teresa Neumann : Mar 26, 2009  Bob Smietana - The Tennessean

Good news for aspiring authors like me; maybe there's hope after all....

Christian fiction(Tennessee)—The Tennessean has reported that "local Christian publishers who launched or expanded their fiction lines in recent years are enjoying the fruits of their labors thanks to an unlikely source—the flagging economy. While sales of Christian nonfiction have stalled during the recent economic crisis, sales of Christian fiction remain strong."

Karen Ball, executive editor at B&H Publishing Group was quoted as saying people are looking for a way to escape from the bad news of layoffs and plummeting stocks. "When reality gets ugly, fiction takes off,'' she said.

"There's some wonderful secular fiction out there, but it's not offering any hope," she added. "If anything it's discouraging. In Christian fiction, there's hope in the midst of trouble."

According to the report, Christian publishers say books that are "relatively PG-rated," mostly free of foul language, sex, and violence, are key to attracting readers.
