Industry Veterans Form a New Christian Fiction Publishing House

At a time when print sales of Christian fiction have been steadily declining and some houses have stopped doing fiction altogether, several Christian publishing veterans are launching a new Christian fiction publishing house. Gilead Publishing LLC opened its doors on April 18, in a rented conference room at a hotel in a Chicago suburb.

President and publisher Dan Balow and CEO Bill Giarratana are co-owners of the company that will soon have offices in Wheaton, Ill., and Grand Rapids, Mich.
