Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Although the first half of Spiritual Writing: From Inspiration to Publication is a well-written guide to nursing one's spiritual muse, it is the book's forthright and sensible second half that makes it a must-read. Here, Deborah Levine Herman and Cynthia Black give readers the skinny on finding "spirit-friendly" literary agents and publishers, crafting a strong book proposal and navigating the publication process. They paint a realistic picture of the publishing world, which is increasingly open to spiritual books but also, as ever, concerned about the bottom line. PW feels that the authors deserve an award simply for warning, "Never say, in your proposal, `God told me to write this' or `My psychic told me it would be a best-seller.' " (PW has seen this and worse.) The book is quite comprehensive, addressing the evangelical Christian market almost as well as it deals with the New Age. It should be on the desk of every spiritual writer.

An absolute must for 1st time authors...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spiritual Writing: From Inspiration To Publication (Paperback)
As an author that is half-way through theprocess of having their 1st time book published I can say without qualification that THISis the book I'd wish I'd read before beginning the process. Not only is it packed with invaluable information and guidance but also manages to help keep the new author in emotional and psychological balance with brilliant and insightful humor at the crucial junctures. The resources cited within the book are also essential material for anyone considering wandering down the rocky road that is getting your book published. After reading several other helpful books about getting one's book published I am quite certain that I could have skipped all the rest and read Spiritual Writing which would have saved considerable eye strain and, kept my spirits light at the same time. Highest kudos to Herman and Black on a super writing the tool for 1st time authors.

This includes how to organize one's vision, create marketable angles, query letters & proposals without sacrificing our message, and finally providing us with spirit friendly resources including agents and publishers.
