Introducing My Short Story for Novelists in November
Well, with Novelists in November closing for submissions soon (so get yours in!), I am currently wrapping up my own short story which, if it works out well, I will be including in the collection! I had gone back and forth for a while about whether or not I’d be including a short story in […]
How to Format a Novel (or other fictional work) for Submission
Over the last couple days, I’ve answered a lot of young writers’ questions about how submission guidelines work both for Wild Blue Wonder Press, and at my day job at the Author Conservatory (where we do critiques as well as put together anthologies, necessitating submission guidelines). And one of the biggest questions is about formatting […]
Comparing Patrick and Cassie from Like a Ship on the Sea
Today I have a kind of unusual post—I’ll be comparing Patrick Hilton and Cassie O’Connell from my novel, Like a Ship on the Sea. There’s a dichotomy between them, surely, but also so many similarities that I didn’t even realize existed until the revision stage. At which point, I was, of course, delighted. As we […]
Street Team Call for Voices of the Future: Stories of Courage & Compassion
GUESS WHAT? I’m getting published in an anthology. AND … There are a couple things that make this story and this anthology really important and really fun. This story features a character you know and love, if you’re a long-time reader. Even if you don’t know and love the character, you’ll want to support our […]
When Hearts Are Broken – Romance Collaboration with H.S. Kylian
Kellyn Roth here, and today I’m joined by H.S. Kylian to talk about Romance in Christian Fiction. Our first two posts were published here (about chemistry in Christian romance) and here (about kissing in Christian romance), but so definitely take some time to read those next time you get a chance!

Why We Need Chemistry in Christian Romance
Hey folks! I’m Kellyn Roth, and I’m here today with H.S. Kylian to talk about chemistry in romance. (If you don’t know, Hannah writes a bunch of cool serieses in the family saga arena, and you arguably can’t have a family without chemistry. More on that later.) This is the first in a series of […]

A Very Bookish Romance Has Launched!
A Very Bookish Romance is launched! This is a 5-book novella collection which features stories centered around the holiday of Valentine’s Day and a classic novel (inspired by more than strict retellings, though they sort of count as both). My story is a WWII home front romance featuring a single mother and a limping farmer. […]
Write the Soft Epilogue; Give Them Babies | why romance novels need epilogues
Hey folks! I’m popping on today to write a post that I hope you will take seriously … but no, it is not meant to be taken seriously. After all, at the end of the day, you may write what you want … But allow me to ramble about a personal-taste-thing as if it’s a […]
Welcome to 2024 (and how 2023 went)
Welcome to 2024, a year that I like the sound of much more than 2023 (I hate odd numbers)! As 2023 came to a close, I realized that it had only been a month long, and that disturbed me. I should have had more than a month to do all the things I had to […]
