          I’m looking for a way to publish my book (Christian/Faith-Based Sci-Fi/Fantasy. I’ve written one completely, and have the second one about midway done. It’s meant to be a trilogy with options for spin-off books. I’ve looked at large publishers and they require thousands of dollars to publish, so I’m looking into alternative ways of publishing. Could you please send me some information on this? ~Faith

          • Faith, you would benefit from our About page:

            Where can I find a critique group, publisher, or tips on writing?

            In the Lorehaven community, we help gather and train fans of the best Christian-made fantastical novels.

            Many fans are writers, but not all of them. (Otherwise, how would these stories grow their audience?)

            For aspiring writers seeking professional craft help, we recommend existing Christian-led groups, such as Realm Makers.

            . . .

            Will you take a look at my novel manuscript or short story?

            No. Many of our staff creators also publish their own novels. But Lorehaven is neither a manuscript review service nor a fiction publisher.

            We recommend asking trusted creative friends for their feedback, or joining a writers’ group, such as Realm Makers.

            For short fiction from Christian authors in fantastical genres, you may also want to check out Havok Publishing.

          • Image Mya Bray says:

            I am also writing a book. It is somewhere between a Christian Sci-Fi and romance(clean). I was wondering how to publish it. I know publishers are super expensive, and I honestly can’t afford one.

            • Hi there, thanks for stopping by!

              Indie publishing can be expensive. The advantage is that you would keep all the profits yourself.

              Companies offering to publish for high costs are what they used to call a “vanity press.” Not cool.

              As you’ve read above, Lorehaven focuses on fans and families. For aspiring authors who aren’t (yet?) published, your one-stop resource for Christian fantastical writing is Realm Makers!

        2. Image Grace says:

          Where can I find literary agents for a Christian speculate fiction/contemporary fantasy novel?

          • Grace, for that you’ll want to come to Realm Makers! This year this Christian-led fantastical creative conference is hosting not only the annual writers’ conference but the inaugural Realm Makers Expo. Go directly to RealmMakers.com. Also, enter “Realm Makers” in the search box here at Lorehaven to find all our coverage of Realm Makers since 2013. Godspeed!

        3. Image Tripp Berry says:

          Hello, I downloaded five books into my series “War of the Nephilim”. The first three are in your library. Don’t see the last two. Should I re-upload them? I don’t mind, but I don’t want to mess with a system you might have. Thanks, Tripp

        4. Image Christian Alexander says:

          Is there a way to sort the library by other categories such as “latest added” or even “alphabetical” rather than just the most recently published?

        5. I’m looking for contact information but cannot find any on your website. I have some specific questions concerning the release of my 1st book on 8/1. I am J.F. Nickens, author of MYTH: The Sacred Volumes of Transcendence (4 vol’s). Thank you.

          • Jonathan, here’s a belated reply! We do not list direct contact information (such as email addresses) on the site. Use the suggestion box above and we’ll do our best to help you out.

        What say you?
