Talking about market share is a very different proposition, however. That's what these data are about.

Dear Mr. Hyatt,

I just found this article tonight, 09.12.08, nearly two years after the fact. Would you happen to have current statistics available? Or perhaps a more recent posting on your blog?

Many thanks,

I already finished the book and its self published by author house…It’s called Hangin’ with God (a new form of expression)but since the book got published I’ve been extremely busy trying to make ends meet. Last week at work my friend met a gentleman who had a black American Express card and asked him what he did for a living and he said he wrote children books. How can i use my gift and talent to be published by a company and actually make a living from it?…I seek your mentorship…my email address is chrisbennett0005@gmail.com/ tel# 786-390-3172

Tamara,

I can’t say much about our methodology. It’s proprietary. However, based on our data, Harlequin would be #18.

Hope that helps,

Mike

Interesting. Where does Harlequin fit in your list? Would love to understand your methodology better.

Happy New Year,
Tamara

Congratulations on these numbers. Of course, as a novelist for Zondervan, I can’t let this sit. I do hereby formally challenge you to a duel for the #1 spot in Christian publishing. Z’s gonna beat you to the trigger. In a heartbeat. You game? (BTW, I haven’t quite checked with Doug Lockhart on this duel thing yet. Might wanna give me a few days to talk him into it.)

Thanks for this information Michael. I like compiling data on the industry. It comes in handy when I run into naysayers about Christian publishing!

Merry Christmas!

They’re on the Bestseller’s list(s), but I see the two as being connected.
