1. First, I have a completely random question: what is the signficiance, if any, of the use of a picture of “Austrian writer Norbert Gstrein?” The only thing I could find on Google about him was a translated German Wikipedia article.
    On the topic at hand: I think the best thing to promote any genre is to actually read books within it, determine taste and quality for oneself, and then share out genuine enjoyment. While that sentence may sound trite and obvious, I don’t believe it is either. I think too many times we put the cart before the horse. You are never going to be as effective at promoting a product as when you actually use it and/or enjoy it.  If you don’t read Christian speculative fiction, it’s hard to know what’s good. If you don’t enjoy any, you would refer any. If you don’t speak about what you like, your friends won’t find out from you.
    On the practical side, loaning books to friends and requesting books be purchased by your library are always good ways to get the word out.

      On the photo, it’s there because he’s reading and this is about readers seeking quality. Not much more than that.
       
      On your response, I agree. Readers read. Writers learn by reading as well. I included that in what a writer should do, so no arguments from me. Good answer.

What do you think?
