Dear Mr. Mentzer,

I have gone through my second reading of your new book, Amen.
I am now reading it for the third time and in the process of writing notes in the margin, making lists, and thanking God that you wrote this book. You asked many of the questions that have plagued me from the time I submitted my manuscript. Thank you for writing such a work that is easy to understand and follow. The marketing process looks daunting to me but with the help of your book and newsletters
I think I can step out "there".

The purpose of this email is to let you know I appreciate you and
that I would like to receive your newsletters. I hope to meet you one day!

Elaine Littau, Author of Nan's Journey.

Leon - 

   Just a short note to thank you for writing Amen!

   I'm sure you've heard this repeatedly, but I wish I had found it prior to publishing my book, "Be Not Deceived." That said, it's still extremely valuable; i.e., post-publication, and I would highly recommend it to any Christian writer undertaking a book project.

Thanks again. Take care.                In Him, Ed

Jenny Lynn’s Secret Mission is the humorous and heartwarming story of an eight-year-old that stumbles upon the true meaning of Christmas and reminds a community of Christmas’ true meaning as well.  Jenny Lynn will cause us to step back to a place and time where family, church and community were almost synonymous.  Come away with her on this wonderful Christmas journey and let her reveal Christmas’ true meaning to you.  Perhaps if you already know the true meaning of Christmas, then simply let Jenny Lynn help you rekindle the Christmas Spirit in someone else who has possibly forgotten.

Is Christianity Just About Going to Church?

LONGWOOD, FL—Are non-believers attracted to "Christendom" as represented by the media or as played out in many local churches? Is Christianity just about going to church? In his new book, author Bob Chapman says, "The extreme times we now live in demand extreme faith. The lost are now looking for ‘Reality Christianity.’" Even those who do believe in Jesus question if there’s more. They read and study their Bible regularly, but they are convinced there’s more. They preach, teach, or lead worship, and yet they’re certain there must be more. Extreme Lives for Extreme Times reveals they’re right—there is more! Living for Jesus is reality Christianity 24/7, and it means living a powerful, effective life in God’s kingdom. This new book will help readers to truly be disciples, not merely churchgoers, and enable them to live out Jesus’ call in their ministries and normal daily lives—and, most importantly, to gain non-believers’ attention.

** 2007 Award winner: Extreme Lives for Extreme Times has been awarded the Best Inspirational Christian Living award by Christian Story Teller.com

4.0 out of 5 stars1001 Ways to Market Your Books by John Kremer, September 14, 2007

While Kremer's book is heavily weighted toward publishers, it is an indispensable reference for anyone who wants a crash course in book marketing. Authors can learn plenty from his lucid style and categorical treatment. I also recommend Leon Mentzer's Amen! A Simple Guide to Self-Marketing Your Christian Book, which is entirely directed at authors. Mentzer's focus is on Christian writers because he is one, but his ideas and advice about what writers can do to market their own books is universal and aimed specifically at just-published, first-time authors.

Sharon Fieker's new book about choosing adoption. This is a must have book if you ever thought about "choosing the day"

 

Author Bruce Brown, after having pondered this seemly paradox-ridden biblical enigma from his teenage years, could no longer keep the answers he found to himself and is confident you will find yourself in these pages.

Highly recommended.

2008 Writers Cruise

 Would you like to go on a relaxing cruise, where you are waited on hand and foot, you have meals in wonderful 4 star restaurants, and can eat 24 hours a day?  No cell phones, no Internet unless you pay a premium price and no set schedule to do anything.  Do you want to meet other authors, compare notes, discuss marketing strategies, and receive encouragement?  I did! That’s why I booked a cabin on the last marketing cruise sponsored by christianstoryteller.com. 

I highly recommend this type of cruise, seminar and marketing tool.  We had a great session discussing how to market your Christian book, ways of getting your book noticed, and ended with a successful book signing.  It was so much fun to interact with other authors and spouses, we could hang out together or go our own way till we met at dinner in the evening.   

This cruise gave me such a boost! I came home refreshed with new ideas on how to jump start the sales on my book.  I had spent two years as a successful freelance writer which left me no time to write for pleasure and creativity.  Retired from freelance, I am now rejuvenating my writing career.  I am working on my second novel, dreaming story lines, and have so many thoughts I just need to write down! 

Thanks Leon and christianstoryteller.com for this wonderful opportunity!  I can’t wait till January 23rd, 2009! 

Sherri Smith, Author of "Bitter Water"

What is a seminar cruise like?
