The Top
50 Black Christian Independent Publishers Bestsellers List
(Non-fiction)
(Based
upon Amazon.com rankings, BarnesandNoble.com rankings, and BlackCBC.com
rankings.)
MARCH 2010
Independent Publishers or
Small
Publishers are terms often
used to describe publishers
with annual sales below a certain level. Commonly, in the United
States, this is set at $50 million, after returns and discounts.
Independent publishers or Small publishers are also defined as those
that publish an average of fewer than 10 titles per year, though there
are a few who manage to do more.
The terms "independent publisher" or "small publisher" are often used
interchangeably, with "independent press" defined as publishers that
are not part of large conglomerates or multinational corporations.
Defined this way, these presses make up approximately half of the
market share of the book publishing industry. Many small
presses rely on specialization in genre: fiction, poetry, or
limited-edition books or magazines, but there are also thousands that
focus on niche non-fiction markets.
As
you know, making a major bestsellers list actually increases book
sales. So, Congratulations!
If
you feel that your book is not being ranked with the over 300 books
that are ranked each month, please e-mail the title of your book, the
author's name, and the ISBN number to blackcbc@blackchristianbookcompany.com.
SPECIAL
NOTE: It
has come to our attention that a few of the books that have been ranked
on the BCNN1/BCBC National Bestsellers List were written by authors who
do not profess faith in Christ and who were not at least striving to
live according to the Word of God. To all of our friends, authors, and
publishers, please do not feel as though you are "hating on," tattling
on, or gossiping about anybody, if you let us know that a particular
author does not profess to be a Christian and that his or her lifestyle
does not presently reflect Biblical principles and Christian values.
With that said, we do understand that there are people who write good
books that espouse Biblical principles that we agree with, and this is
the spirit in which we included these authors. But we at BCNN1 and BCBC
only want to promote books where the author is a Christian and the book
glorifies Christ first and foremost. If you see a book ranked that does
not line up with that, we want to encourage you to let us know. Please
feel free to remain anonymous if you would like.

the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved"
