Violence in media has been a hot topic for quite a while in both the secular and Christian communities.

Is violent material something Christians should avoid in their books, games, and shows? Or does it have a necessary place in our stories? If so, is there a line between what is beneficial and what is corrupting?

Our creative ability is a God-given talent, and it’s one that should be looked at properly. Not only are creatives gifted at bringing beauty and stories into the world, but they also fill a unique leadership role. This role as a leader is one that many artists and writers don’t consider, but it’s one that is a powerful source for good or evil.  

Being a leader is a heavy mantle that Christians should take seriously. The consequence of wielding this talent withoutcareful consideration is great, and this consideration starts with understanding biblical principles, personal convictions, and how we may lead others to sin.

Here we discuss the last three stages of getting your novel ready for publication: line edits, copy edits, and proofreading. Editing in this order allows you to streamline your writing process, saving you time and money in the process.

If you are an indie author, you need to know all three of these steps. If you are going to traditionally publish, you’ll need to line edit.

Many people set off to write a book, and most of them never finish it! You can be someone who defies the odds and sees a novel to completion by following these 6 steps.

Can anyone become a writer, or is it something that's wired in our DNA?

There are two main factors that determine if you can be a successful fiction writer, and I'll tell you all about them! (Hint: it doesn't matter how well you did in your High School English class)!

I would say Harry Potter really kicked off the debate whether Christians should entertain the fantasy genre. Does it promote the occult? Can it uphold biblical principles?

Here I discuss the history of the fantasy genre, some recent trends, and what Christian readers and writers should consider about the genre.
