Tips For Writing For A Christian Publishing Company

By Stephen Lewis


Inspirational writing is becoming much more prevalent that it ever has been. Writing for those interested in more uplifting works makes it very necessary to have a Christian Publishing Company to publish your work so those readers can identify where and what it is. It is beneficial to both the writer and the reader to locate where their work can be found.

Both fiction and nonfiction are published by publishers of inspirational works. Nonfiction writers search for publishers who are recognized as working with inspirational works. Both writers and readers wish to be identified with such publishers so others can find their works. These works are primarily for study and academic pursuit, though they are also for reading enjoyment.

Both types of materials can have a very strong Christian focus or only an inspirational one. Whichever, the language and content must have a meaningful purpose, one which will not be an embarrassment to the writer. Language must be used carefully, with no swear words or obviously sexual content. It must be what can be termed appropriate to age 13. This does not mean the content must be simple, but just that the language must be appropriate to that age.

All fiction should be inspirational and/or religious based. The theme or story line should teach a Christian principle. There should be a lesson for the reader, without being "preachy." To find a theme, the writer needs to think about something that is of interest to those currently. The characters should both, hero/heroine and protagonist, should both have a part in teaching and learning the lesson.

Fiction can be either romantic or not. Even if there is a romantic element, there can also be a historical, comedy, or suspenseful aspect. Even guys like romantic suspense or romantic comedy. The main thing is that there has to be romance as the main underlying element. There can, in some companies, be a story with a LGBT element, but not in all. If your not sure, omit it if you want to be published.

Nonfiction books can have several different purposes. For academics, or clergy, the nonfiction work must teach something that is important to the person. Most of the time, these works are meant to teach an aspect that may not be known or understood by the reader. It requires an in-depth explanation of the concept.

Another purpose for nonfiction material is to teach a practical or personal concept. Instead of an academic lesson, the idea is usually of an inspirational and personal concept. The author strives to try to change the actions of the person reading the work to endorse the idea. For example, a habit may be changed with the information addressed. There is an attempt to make a change in the person' life.

Memoirs and historical works are another purpose for nonfiction. Though they are mainly to impart information, there is often great enjoyment. Memoirs are somewhat historical as they let a person discover something about the author. Historical works, though designed to impart information, are often entertaining as well, especially for those who enjoy history. All writing is somewhat for entertainment, regardless of type.
