Do We Really Need More Portrayal of Sexual Subjects in Christian Romance?
Today, as promised in last week’s post, I’m talking about a rather interesting subject: the portrayal of sexual subjects in Christian romance. And specifically, do we need to talk about it? In Christian romance or any Christian sub-genre? What about on our author platforms? What about in “real life”? Convictions Matter, Of Course! Now, before […]
Victorian Womanhood vs. the American Christian Church
Note: this post discusses sexual topics, largely surrounding how the Christian church treats women when it comes to both sexual sins and sex in general. If that’s not your cup of tea, this post may not be for you. In 2018, as a brave & bold 17-year-old, I wrote two posts: The Victorian Ideal vs. […]

Hey everyone! As you know, last year, The Author Conservatory (a Christian writing program I’m blessed to be an employee and student at) released Voices of the Future: Stories of Family and Fearlessness.

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 […]
