Consafo insider news
Hey everyone. This is only viewable by Friends of RLP.
Well, the Consafo experiment got started. I'm a little nervous, but feeling better as the response comes in. I've had email reservations for 106 copies of the book in only 24 hours of being online. That's 1/4 of the way there!
Part of the idea of this approach to publishing is to get the blog community involved in the publication process. I enjoyed doing the Christmas book myself, but I borrowed money to print it and then lost $1000 when it didn't sell as well. I'll make that money back in the long run, but I didn't want to do that again.
So it looks like this thing is going to work. I want to invite all of you to take part of the decisions about content. I'll have a page where select people can vote on what makes it into the next book. There will be a selection of things, but also a place for suggestions. I find that I've written a lot more than I remembered. There's only room for about 60 to 70 items, be they essays or stories or whatever. And all the content from the Christian Century archive is available too.
So I hope you'll watch and give me your thoughts/votes when the time comes.
thanks,
gordon
All of my books are for sale though me. I've not had the energy or inclination to send them to Amazon or any other place.

Have you given much thought

nope. No thought at all. But

And, since the articles are
