What We Look For

At Lilac & Co. Publishing, we are always on the hunt for:

Passionate Storytelling

We seek stories that resonate with the intensity and complexity of young adult life. Whether you're exploring fantastical worlds or delving into the depths of human emotion, we welcome narratives rich in feelscapes and emotional depth. We are particularly drawn to stories where characters undergo profound personal growth, often through adversity, with healing as a core part of their journey.

Nods to the Great Creator

We appreciate works that thoughtfully incorporate themes of faith, particularly those that nod to Jesus and the Judeo-Christian tradition. These narratives should offer fresh perspectives on spirituality, exploring how faith can influence characters' lives and decisions in meaningful ways.

Complex Characters

Our ideal stories feature characters who are deeply flawed yet relatable. We do not shy away from traumatized characters, provided their journey includes a path toward healing and redemption. We believe in the power of storytelling to reflect real-life struggles while offering hope and inspiration.

Hopeful Endings

While we embrace stories that tackle tough subjects, we favor narratives that ultimately leave readers with a sense of hope. We believe that happy endings can inspire positive change in the real world by demonstrating how challenges can be overcome through resilience and faith.

Innovative Voices

We are always on the lookout for unique voices and diverse perspectives. Your story should bring something new to the table, whether through innovative storytelling techniques, fresh character dynamics, or original world-building.

By focusing on these elements, we aim to publish feelscapes that not only entertain but also uplift and inspire readers. If your story aligns with our vision, we would love to hear from you!
