Made a pitch for a book today. Without going into too much detail, Student Life Publishing is interested in eventually moving into trade publications. We are also about to embark on a conference tour this spring featuring Erwin McManus and surrounding his new book Chasing Daylight. I thought it would be a great idea to possibly write a student guide to Chasing Daylight that could be sold in conjunction with the book and also would be in partnership with Thomas Nelson Publishers and would make Student Life a viable name in trade books. And Student Life actually has the contacts where this could be a possibility.
Selfishly, wouldn’t it be great to write a companion piece to a book that’s pretty much guaranteed to be a bestseller. That way the next time I go to a publisher with a book proposal I can say, “look, my first book sold Xthousand number of copies.” And maybe I could get Erwin’s representation.
I know, out-of-this -orld expectations. Still, as the little slip of paper in my office says: “Dream Big. There is little power in little plans.”
Don’t worry. I won’t forget you guys. You’ll just have known me when…
In other news: I’m going to see Coldplay tomorrow night. Should be great. Also, I’m consumed currently with the script for tour. On top of the sixteen short sketches I have to finish. I am a writing machine.
Don’t be jealous!
nice man, hope that works out for you.
Kinsley, if you wrote a book, companion or not, it would be fantastic. Think of how many people have lived and how few of them ever had the gumption to write something that in depth or anything at all.
you’d better check on that coldplay show. http://www.coldplay.com. Maybe we should hang out.
Kinsley, just wanted to give a shout out to an old friend. Do you remember me. I was part of the brotherhood at MC……Garrett Guillory…… Coon mentioned your name on his site and I just wanted to say hi…….
…..”hi”……..
