What giants do you come up against when you write?

• Do you struggle against the problem of preachy or cliched messages?
• Do you struggle against the problem of plots that bore readers?
• Do you struggle against the problem of bland, derivative characters?

Each of these issues will prevent you from writing authentic and powerful stories that impact lives for the glory of God.

I want to give you the tools you need to bring down the giants of your writing life.

In the fourth century, St. Augustine framed all of human history as a struggle between the City of God and the City of Man.

Every generation needs its own storytellers who will enter into this struggle and use their words for the advancement of the City of God. Stories shouldn't be used as evangelistic tools--but they should be used to explore powerful truths and themes from a Christian perspective.

After all, some of the most powerful arguments are the subtle ones.

Ink Slinger Academy is run by Josiah DeGraaf, fiction content manager for The Young Writer & editor-in-chief of Story Embers. It exists to give Christian storytellers the tools they'll need to enter this struggle between the City of God & the City of Man and tell impactful stories for the glory of God.
