As a novelist, I thought long and hard about a tagline for my fiction. I finally settled on “Truth through Fiction” which is the personal vision God gave me for my fiction writing. It is my goal as a novelist to present truth through the medium of fiction.
Why?
For one main reason: Fiction touches the heart.
Unlike non-fiction that appeals to the head or mind, fiction appeals to the heart. This is the reason Jesus used fiction, called parables, to teach truths that transform the heart.
I had my tagline registered at the US Trademark Office by an attorney. It now appears on my website and in my advertising and correspondence. It is a continual reminder to me of why I write fiction. It is a statement of my vision as a writer of fiction.
What is your vision for your fiction writing? Why do you write fiction? Take some time to think about a tagline for your own fiction writing.
Hadn’t considered this. Good food for thought, thank you!
Blessings,
Karen
