Need help marketing my Christian Poetry book.?

[shawn o]

I self-published my first book "1 Corinthians 13:11 Growing in the Spirit". There were no bells and whistles with the contract. I have to do all the marketing. I've told all of my Myspace and Facebook friends, and my entire e-mail contact list. I've put flyers out at churches. You can go to Amazon.com and type in the name of the book and see it. My goal os to sell 1000 copies so that I can sign with a large publishing company.

Nobody reads poetry any more, and if you mean a big company like Random House, they're not going to be interested in limited-market works. Check out the following firms as they cater to Christian themes:

It sounds like a great book. I would love to read it someday!

Congratulations and I hope you achieve your goal of selling 1000 copies.
