Christian retailers come to CPE looking for new books, gifts, jewelry, cards, artwork, and other Christian products, while authors have an opportunity to build relationships that can help place their books into independent Christian retail stores.Rebecca explains that AWSA is much more than a professional writers' organization. Its members consider themselves “AWSA sisters,” building a culture of cooperation rather than competition. Authors encourage one another, promote one another's work, and recognize that the ultimate objective is larger than individual book sales: getting the message of Jesus Christ into the world.In This EpisodeWhy AWSA partners its annual event with the Christian Product ExpoHow Christian authors and independent Christian retailers can support one anotherAWSA's training and mentoring opportunities for published authorsWhy book launches, marketing, and AI have become important parts of author trainingThe role of prayer, worship, and spiritual encouragement at the AWSA conferenceHow Christian writers can reach audiences through fiction, nonfiction, Bible studies, devotionals, children's books, gift books, and moreThe purpose of the Golden Scroll AwardsHow the Christian Market Book Awards provide opportunities beyond AWSA membershipWhy Christian authors need community rather than competitionEncouragement for aspiring writers who believe God has placed a message on their heartsAWSA's Protégé program for those who want help beginning their writing journeyWhy reaching children through Christian literature is especially importantHow every Christian writer can reach a different part of the harvestRebecca also describes the strong spiritual foundation of AWSA's conference—from prayer-warrior sessions and small-group prayer to worship and encouragement. As she emphasizes, Christian writers aren't simply producing products; they are carrying messages capable of reaching people with Christ.One of the central themes of the conversation is simple: no single author can reach everyone. Different writers, genres, testimonies, and ministries can reach different audiences. The more Christian writers are equipped and encouraged to fulfill their calling, the farther the Gospel can travel.Rebecca encourages established Christian authors who haven't yet “found their tribe” to explore AWSA, while aspiring authors can investigate opportunities to be trained and mentored as they develop the message God has placed within them.Recorded at Christian Product Expo 2026 in St. Charles, Missouri.KeywordsRebecca White, AWSA, Advanced Writers and Speakers Association, Christian Product Expo, CPE 2026, Christian authors, Christian writers, Christian publishing, Christian books, Christian women writers, Golden Scroll Awards, Christian Market Book Awards, Christian publishing industry, Christian retailers, independent Christian bookstores, Christian book marketing, author marketing, book launch, Christian speakers, Christian writing conference, Christian author conference, Christian ministry, Gospel, Kingdom of God, faith-based publishing, Christian children's books, Christian fiction, Christian nonfiction, Bible study books, devotional books, author mentorship, writing ministry, Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast, TS WrightCall to ActionHas God placed a message on your heart?
