I opened my e-mail today only to find this headline sitting in my RSS feed from Thomas Nelson. My mouth dropped open. How could this happen? It seems like every Christian publisher is getting swallowed up by a big trade publisher.
One of the reasons I chose to track Thomas Nelson was the fact that it seems to have thrived while other Christian publishers are swallowed up by big names. WaterBrook and Multnomah to Random House. Zondervan to HarperCollins. I'm not a fan of this trend, and I wasn't expecting the number one Christian publisher to follow this trend.
Maybe I'm being a little too doom and gloom about this. Maybe there is an upside that I'm just not seeing right now because of the mere shock of the announcement. For now, I'll just keep watching what happens and hope that it is all for the best.
