Five Inspirational Truths for Authors

Upcoming Newsletter

Look this week for our November newsletter. Our feature interview is with Thomas Nelson's Senior Vice President and Publisher Allen Arnold. We're also featuring more from the Dean Koontz's interview.

Here's a sneak peek:

Novel Journey:
You're a big proponent of story. What is it you're hoping a novel will accomplish by the time you finish it?

Allen Arnold: Story is everything. It is who we are and what we live. It’s how God chose to reveal the majority of his Word. Non-fiction may capture the mind but Fiction captures the heart and soul.

By the time a novel is finished, I want it to fully consume the writer and the reader. To be a part of them. Like a friend who visits and then leaves them a better person than it found them. And since every novel we publish is written from a Christian worldview, I hope the reader is first and foremost entertained but also walks away with some salt and light as well.

If you haven't signed up, you can still do so on the left hand column.
