Our Mission
Breaking Light Press was founded on the belief that the most powerful stories are found at the intersection of history and heresy, faith and identity. We are a boutique publisher dedicated to illuminating new voices and bringing compelling works of speculative and historical fiction to light. Our mission is to champion stories that challenge conventions, explore the gray areas of belief, and celebrate the courage of the outcast, the rebel, and the seeker. If you are interested in submitting to us, please visit our Submissions Page.
Our Story
In a world of black-and-white thinking, we believe in the power of the gray. Breaking Light Press was created to be a home for fiction that isn’t afraid to ask difficult questions—stories about characters whose personal truths put them at odds with the systems they inhabit. We believe that by exploring these conflicts, whether in the distant past or a dark near future, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own present. We are committed to a collaborative, author-focused approach to bring these vital stories to the readers who are waiting for them. For writers interested in our guidelines, please visit our Submissions page.
Our Founder
Breaking Light Press was founded by C.J. Loveman. He crafts historical and dystopian tales that explore the intersection of faith, identity, and rebellion. His perspective was forged during his time at an evangelical Bible college, where a struggle between his beliefs and his identity set him on a new course as a writer. Through this press, he aims to create a platform for other voices exploring similar powerful themes.
