Writing Christian Fiction: Christian Stories for Children
To write saleable books for children, you need to cater to two groups of people: the kids who will read your stories, and the adults who decide which books to buy.
What children want are action-packed adventure, humor and mystery stories, and books revolving round family, friends and school. It doesn’t matter to kids if the story contains Christian themes so long as it’s interesting and not preachy.
What do adults - for example, parents - look for in a children's book? It must benefit the child in some way, of course: a well-told story that holds the reader's attention - even better if the book is also informative, educational or character-building. Christian buyers would want the story to impart biblical values and truths as well.
