Do any of you C.S. Lewis scholars out there know where the C.S. Lewis quote that goes something like, 'We do not need more people writing Christian books, what we need is more Christians writing good books.' comes from? I'm writing a paper that I need to use it in but I need to know the source. I've tried looking for books/essays it may be from but I can't find it. Thanks for the help, guys.

I could only find one site that alluded to the fact that the quote might have come from a book and chances are, they just got it wrong:

The overwhelming majority of results point to it being a statement, though I suppose there might be a chance that it came from a letter?

Yeah, I heard somewhere it was from a letter...

How dare I call this love and not bear my cross to the end.
The quote you may be looking for is, "We must attack the enemy's line of communication. What we want is not more little books on Christianity, but more little books by Christians on other subjects - with their Christianity latent." It's from the essay entitled "Christian Apologetics" in God in the Dock. It's not quite the same as what you said, but that's the only one I know of on that subject.
