Christian Writers are Failing Their Readers
Read the Elmnas Series by Kaylena Radcliff: https://amzn.to/4rB0QmY In this episode, Kaylena Radcliff, speculative fiction author and managing editor of Christian History Magazine, joins us to break down the unspoken rules of Christian publishing, why the Christian fiction market keeps playing it safe, and what it's costing their readers. From there we tackle positive masculinity in storytelling, the two male archetypes female writers default to and why both ring false, and why nihilistic fiction is losing ground to stories that offer genuine hope. We also get into the Realm Makers community, the case for Christians writing horror and dark fantasy, and practical advice for indie authors trying to build an audience in an algorithm-driven world. š¬ Love this video?
