Levels of Clean


When I decided to call this magazine “Clean Fiction” I knew that I was opening a proverbial “can of worms”, but I wanted the title to be clear and easy to understand. What is the problem with calling it “Clean Fiction”? Everyone has their own definition of “clean” and that definition may or may not match up with mine or my reviewers. To alleviate this problem I have created a quirky rating system that should keep you informed while giving you a giggle. This rating system paired with descriptive yet spoiler free reviews should give you all the information that you need to decide if a book is for you or a bit too much. I would like to reiterate that this magazine is NOT intended for teens. I do not want to frighten the ultra-clean readers by this statement. There are several books listed just for you, but I also know how BIG the Young Adult market is right now and how easily the name of our magazine could be mistaken for something it is not. Not a day goes by without me seeing a post from a mom or dad asking for suggestions on social media for their middle schooler or teen. There are plenty of other publications that will readily help them. As of right now, “Clean Fiction” is set up as a “New Adult” genre space. This includes books that may be labeled/mislabeled/marketing labeled as "Young Adult" because "New Adult" is such an up-and-coming genre. I am fully prepared for the angst that might follow these misunderstandings, but those that I anger cannot say that they were not warned!


Our Community Activity for this week is:

SPREAD THE WORD


Share the existence of this magazine with your friends, family, and acquaintances! I cannot stress enough how important this is! Currently I am holding the jobs of Publisher, Layout Specialist, Marketing Maven, Social Media Manager, Reviewer, Writer, Blogger, and Illustrator... It is a bit of a lot. If you could help me out by spreading the word, I would really appreciate it!



Hoping all of you wonderful "Clean Fiction" readers out there have a great day!

Realm Makers Conference

I missed you guys last week! The conference took all of my focus and energy. I went. I saw. I talked and talked and talked and talked...you get the idea. Being an extrovert wading in a sea of introverts, I must admit to being rather intimidated. Not that I don't know how to talk to introverted individuals (my husband is a super introvert after all), but it usually takes some time for people to warm up to my rather boisterous personality. I tried to curb my enthusiasm so as not to frighten people away and waste what little time I had with each person. I focused on making every interaction count by both being myself (not some sort of marketing robot) and offering what I could to help/support their business. If you missed it, being an author is a small business and if you know me you know that I LOVE supporting small businesses. And there I was, SURROUNDED by small businesses that I could help. (insert glee here) Overall, it was a good experience. I didn't get the benefit of going

It's a Beautiful Day

If I am being honest, things in my personal life lately have been pretty stressful. People I love were having major surgery, friends of mine are hurting, my kiddos were sick, and in the last week, 3 women close to me have either had a baby, are actively having a baby, or are trying to save their pregnancy. I don't know how you deal with stress, but even though I am worlds better at it than I once was, I am not great at it. Others' pain and hardship weigh on me as if it were my own. Lately, I have been floundering under the weight, but in the midst of the hardest day, God sent me a smile in the shape of a young boy singing a song. And now I want to share the words with you because I am well aware that as long as we live in this world and not the next, we will have strife and hardship. This is your reminder that no matter what is going on in your life right now, you are not alone. Lord, I thank you for sunshine. Thank you for rain. Thank you for joy. Thank you for pain. It's

A Little Bit of Background

I hope that everyone is having a great week and happy Wednesday to you all! I am pleased to say that the Book Cosplay Contest is in full swing, but of course we could always use more entrants (You have until July 31, 2021)! If you feel so inclined, feel free to pop over to CleanFictionMagazine.com for more information. With that out of the way, I am going to give you an update on the progress of compiling all the wonderful content that I know that you are going to love! I just finished writing up a review on an exciting almost 400 page Sci Fi book that I am SOOOO excited to share. I am also trying to connect with great clean fiction authors to bring you exclusive author interviews. If you enjoy the slight silliness that I include in my book reviews, you will be pleased to know that Clean Fiction Magazine is going to be more of that same light hearted content. Here is some background about me and why a publication like this is right up my alley. I currently work part time for my family&
