I don’t know if there is a specific subject or theme I would like to see more often.
What I would like to see more diverse Christian fiction.
I would like to see Christian fiction set in countries other than the USA and historical England. (I do know of a fair few stories set in Australia, probably because I know so many Australian Christian authors.)
I would like to see more Christian fiction from BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour) authors. The 2021 Christy Awards have introduced the Christy Own Voice Award, a new award for a BIOPIC author, and that’s a great encouragement.
I would like to see more books set in contemporary England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.
I would like to see more novels set in Europe—historical and especially contemporary Europe.
I would love to see more books set in Africa, India, and Asia.
I would love to see characters who aren’t like me, and to understand how they become Christians and how they live as Christians in countries that don’t have a Christian heritage.
Don’t get me wrong: I love my US Christian fiction. But Christian fiction is predominantly driven by evangelical American Christianity, and I would like to see something more.
