| Writing Christian Fiction: Christian RomanceWho reads Christian romance? Mainly women. In fact, women are the most avid readers, buying up over 90% of the Christian fiction published today - the bulk of this being romance novels. When writing Christian fiction for this huge and expanding market, you need to know what readers want. Whichever genre of Christian romance you're writing in - whether it's contemporary romance, chick-lit, biblical romance, historical romance or romantic suspense - here's a "must-have" list:
- Write from a Christian worldview.
- Absolutely no profanity, physical sensuality, explicit sexual content or violence in the story (Christian romantic suspense
may contain some violence - but only what is essential to the storyline).
- Show the characters growing spiritually as they struggle through trials, emerging stronger in their faith at the end of
the story.
- Give your story a happy ending and include an uplifting faith message for readers to take away.
