Addressing the Shortage of Resources for Christian Men — guest: Dan Balow
In case you haven't noticed, there is a shortage of men's resources being produced by Christian publishers today. Or at least that is the perspective of literary agent Dan Balow. We learn about how the publishers have more incentives to produce books and resources for women rather than men.
Dan helps us see this as an opportunity, especially for men who have a desire to become an author. You'll gain great perspective on the publishing industry and motivation for those of you who've thought about writing a book on any topic.
Dan Balow started in Christian publishing in 1983 and has been involved in marketing, sales, foreign and domestic rights management, audiobooks, digital publishing, and acquisitions. While he was at Tyndale House Publishers for over a decade, he developed a wide-ranging perspective on the industry by working with hundreds of authors and thousands of books. He has been with The Steve Laube Agency since 2013, with a two-year break to focus on a publishing-related venture he owned. Dan is a graduate of Wheaton College (IL) with a degree in Communications and has been married to Carol for 40+ years. They live in Wheaton, Illinois and have four grown children and five granddaughters.
