    What we want

    Fresh takes, compelling characters, rich world-building, and stories that celebrate human dignity and potential. We want tales that explore the wonder of possibility while respecting the complexity of the human experience.

    Important: Clean fiction isn't the absence of mature themes—it's often the thoughtful handling of them. As a non-fiction example from scripture, the violence of David and Goliath or the temptation and downfall of David and Bathsheba are mature themes, but their thoughtful treatment makes them powerful and suitable for all ages. We're looking for that same sophisticated approach to storytelling.

    What we don't want

    Graphic violence, heavy profanity, sexual content, substance abuse, political propaganda, racist tropes, generic superhero stories, AI-generated/assisted work, or occult themes that glorify evil.
