seems there is a small burgeoning market for more realistic christian fiction that breaks the CBA guidlines. Issues that might involve language, sex and violence as a means to deal with a subject in ficiton.
Im no lover of dirty humor, gratuitious sex scenes or random uncontextualized violence but I dont think that Christian writers will Ever get any serious treatment or recognition until we crossover to the mainstream. Meaning that to spread christianity in literature, we must be able to tell stories that embrace reality and lead the reader to have something invested in the story. I dont ever intend to try to submit to CBA but I do intend to include insprirational themes and a christian message to realistic books. It seems now that a person must be a top seller to even make writing financially feasable to make it in CBA. Young writers have to market themselves even in the major publishing houses. Whats the difference except distribution.
