A Community for Christian Authors Writing Stories

Set in the Biblical World

​

​Most author groups are filled with writers from every genre imaginable. While those communities have value, few understand the unique challenges of bringing Scripture, biblical history, and the ancient world to life through story.

Biblical Fiction Authors Network hopes to fill that need.​

​

This private community connects Christian authors writing fiction set during the Old Testament, New Testament, Intertestamental, and Early Church eras. Whether you're published, pursuing publication, or actively working on your first manuscript, you'll find a place to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside others who share your passion for biblical storytelling.

​​

How the Network Operates

The Biblical Fiction Authors Network functions much like a traditional group email, only better organized. When a member starts a discussion, asks a research question, or shares a promotional opportunity, the conversation is delivered directly to members by email.

 

You can participate simply by replying to those emails, or you can log into the private group website to browse discussions.

​

• No social media.

• No algorithms.

• No endless scrolling.

• No complicated CC chains. 

 

Just a simple, focused way for biblical fiction authors to connect, collaborate, and share knowledge with one another.

Participate as often (or as little) as you'd like.

​

Life in the Network

BFAN is an active community designed to help biblical fiction authors build genuine relationships, exchange ideas, and strengthen one another in the work God has called us to do.

​

Monthly Author Calls

Once a month, we gather on Zoom and tap into the BFAN brain trust. Bring a problem to the table—a research puzzle, publishing question, marketing challenge, story snag, or something else you’re wrestling with—and draw on the collective experience and ideas of fellow biblical fiction authors. Come ready to ask, brainstorm, and help one another find solutions.

​

Monday Questions

Every Monday, a new question goes out to the group to get the conversation rolling. Some are about writing and publishing. Others are about biblical fiction, research, readers, or the author life. Jump in when you have something to say—or simply enjoy the conversation.

​

Member-Led Conversations

You don’t have to wait for Monday. Members are encouraged to start their own conversations anytime. Ask a research question, get input on an industry issue, share a useful resource, celebrate good news, or bring up something only another biblical fiction author would understand.

​
