Not sure if this fits in with our resignation list, but it's a very odd happening in the Christian Booksellers circle. (Christian writer anon here)

From the CBA (aka Christian Retailing Association):

"The association’s president, Curtis Riskey, is no longer working at CBA headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colorado. CBA has not yet announced a replacement to lead the organization nor stated the reason for Riskey’s departure." (No date on Riskey's resignation/firing, whichever it was.)

"CBA Board Chairman Sue Smith resigned her post and reportedly left in August after the UNITE 2018 convention, held July 8-11 in Nashville."

"Many of the staff at CBA have told Christian Retailing they are no longer employed with the association."

And then there's these four men.

"The list of men in Christian publishing circles who have recently been accused of sexual misconduct, ranging from inappropriate comments to unwanted touching, include publishing professional Dennis Hensley, literary agent Chip MacGregor, magazine editor Ben Wolf, and writing mentor Jeff Gerke."

Hensley resigned from his role as head of the professional writing position at Taylor University in Indiana. I think it was in July.

Gerke has been removed from the conference speaker circuit.

I'm not sure if Wolfe or MacGregor were removed from their positions.

Sad for me since I've met all four men (two I've talked to many times at conferences) and wouldn't have expected it from any of them. But that's where we're at now, isn't it?

So, not sure if you keep track of these as well, but thought I'd toss it out there. Both of these events have hit people in the Christian writing circles very hard.

Thanks for what you do!
