Author Erynn Manugm interviews Rebekah Gomez, editor of NavPress' Th1nk Books imprint:
These times are challenging for all publishers, including NavPress.
Retail publishing in general is declining. People aren’t buying or
reading books as fervently as they once did. While the economy plays a
part in this shift, the larger reason is a move toward electronic
delivery of information ...
NavPress recognizes these trends and has made some changes. Over the last two years, NavPress has been shifting from a bookstore and trade-only focus to adding Internet and church development channels alongside the trade. This will help us move from a primarily trade-oriented publisher to a trade and direct publisher, strengthening our direct side of the business. What this means for authors is that their books can be sold into both channels, trade and direct, strengthening their visibility and effectiveness of their message.
