Tips for Writing Christian Fiction

In Christian fiction, start with characters whose inner conflict of their faith will drive the plot. Engage your readers right from the start by making them care, creating conflict, putting your character in danger, building in a surprise, creating curiosity, or through dialogue.

“The faith element [in Christian fiction] is fundamental to the story, but it must be woven through seamlessly as part of who the characters are, their conflict and what drives the plot.” - Debby Mayne, Writer's Digest, June 2005
