Spring Edition 2026 > Likes and Comments

Hello All! It is finally time for the Spring Edition 2026! This edition presented challenges that, though not anticipated, ended well in the end. For that, I only have the Lord to thank. We have a record number of pages at 216, and that was with me doing my best to pare down the pages. Every single book waiting in the TBR Pile is represented (446 titles in total), all 46 covers from the Cover Art Contest were included, 8 micro or serial stories, a dozen or so devotions and articles, and though I lost count of the number of reviews, I believe that we are at around 78 pages of reviews. Over the years, we have had 969 books submitted to our TBR Pile. Our reviewers have processed 523 books that have come in through our open book submissions and completed more than 1,200 reviews total for independently published and small press books. I am so proud of how far we have come. Enjoy the dedication and blurb below.

DEDICATION: This 18th edition of Clean Fiction Magazine is dedicated to GROWTH. With every magazine that we produce, I am taken aback at how often the Lord takes me to a place of complete reliance. There is never enough time, never enough advertising, and no way that I will make the deadline, but time and time again, He pulls me along with reminders that He is in control. My job is to produce the best magazine I can that both glorifies our Lord and Savior and supports the authors and creatives that the Lord has equipped for that task. That is the one thing that I have continued to do consistently. He provides the time. He provides the money. He provides the motivation. With His help, I have met so many amazing authors and Christian creatives. Our magazine has grown exponentially since the beginning, and it is only the Lord that I have to thank for that fact. May God bless what we here at Clean Fiction Magazine are trying to do. May God bless our independent and small press authors. May God bless our readers. Let us all shine our light and grow with access to His glory. Amen.

May your day be bright and your reading be epic!
~ Amy Lynn McConahy, Clean Fiction Publisher

If you love heart-pounding dystopian adventures, SkyWorld is the book for you.

If you’re looking for clean YA fantasy with courageous heroes, meaningful character growth, and plenty of adventure/action, I’d love to mention my own book, Skyworld. I’m an indie fantasy author and wrote it for readers who enjoy epic stories with characters they can genuinely look up to- without sexual content or profanity.

Really appreciate groups like this that support uplifting and wholesome storytelling.

SkyWorld: The Fall Is Coming
Aetherium floats above the clouds, its spires untouched for centuries. But Jonathan knows the truth—the fall is coming. And beneath the clouds, something is waiting…

SkyWorld: The Unmaking Tide
Once the World Tree gave life. Now it hunts it.
