Future Tense

CBA (Canadian Christian Booksellers Association) has folded. Prominent Christian retailer and book distributor R. G. Mitchell Family Books has gone into receivership. Other bookstores are closing their doors. What is going on? How does this affect us as writers? What, if anything, can we do?
We need to keep up with what's happening in the publishing industry. And so the Future Tense blog was born. Keep informed. Visit often.
