Wisdom from Steve Laube

I’ve met several people over the years who I know will forget more about publishing than I will ever know. One of these people is Steve Laube, president and founder of The Steve Laube Agency. Steve’s a veteran of the bookselling industry with nearly 40 years of experience. In the 80s he was a bookstore manager and was awarded the National Store of the Year by the Christian Booksellers Association (CBA). He then spent over a decade with Bethany House Publishers and was named the Editor of the Year by AWSA. Over sixteen years ago he became an agent where he and his agency have represented nearly 2,000 new books and Steve was named Agent of the Year by ACFW. He was also inducted into the Grand Canyon University Hall-of-Fame by their College of Theology. When I can glean wisdom from Steve Laube, I jump at the chance.

This guy knows his stuff. And what’s more, he shares what he knows about the Christian Bookselling industry.

Why Are You Telling Me This?

Recently he wrote a blog post that should set every writer quivering in their boots. Hit the link to see what he’s been telling us for years. After you do, please consider going to the  “Let’s chat” tab and provide me your email. That will give me a way to continue our chats if Facebook decides to pull the plug on my page and personal site. It’s already happened to other writers I know, so I have no doubt that it could happen to me as well.

I don’t think the sky is falling dear friend, but I do believe in being pro-active.

What say you?

What do you wonder about?  Are you happy … or are you doing what you never thought you’d do? Do you see consistencies … or are you all over the place? Drop me a line. I’d love to chat.
