It’s easy to find out about the big-name authors in Christian publishing.
Think Francine Rivers and Karen Kingsbury. It’s not hard to find out about some of the middle rank—the authors whose books you see reviewed, or you find on the shelf of your local Christian bookstore.
But, as a reader, it can be harder to find out about the lesser-known Christian authors.
It’s equally hard—or harder—for those authors to find readers.
I try and feature some lesser-known Christian authors on my blog, either through book reviews, author interviews, or First Line Friday posts. But I still have to find out about them somehow, and that’s often through them contacting me to request a review or interview.
Anyway, here’s my completely biased list of ten lesser-known Christian authors I suggest you watch out for:
- Narelle Atkins (contemporary romance)
- J’nell Ciesielski (historical romance)
- Rose Dee (contemporary romance with suspense elements)
- Christine Dillon (women’s fiction)
- Andrea Grigg (contemporary romance)
- Kara Isaac (contemporary romance)
- Liwen Ho (contemporary romance)
- Jessica Kate (contemporary romance)
- Beth Troy (contemporary romance)
- CC Warrens (thrillers)
