Interview with Julie Gwinn, Fiction Manager for B&H Publishing

In order to help readers and potential readers of Christian fiction understand and get to know the different publishing houses of Christian fiction and their purpose and mission, I have requested interviews with the editors and publishers of fiction at many different houses. I am so excited to share these interviews with all of you and I think it will increase our understanding and make our conversations more productive. I hope you find it a valuable resource!


I am happy to welcome Julie Gwinn of B&H Publishing today.

Yes: Biblical Solutions for Life.

The faith message is an important part of our fiction. But it is not preachy.

Is profanity ever acceptable in your fiction? Never

Do you publish books that are considered by the market to be edgy?

We love literary fiction and feel our novel The Moon in the Mango Tree by Pam Ewen was literary.

Women ages 18-55

Rooms by James L. Rubart, where the story is unconventional, but the Biblical foundation and faith message pivotal.
