Solid Food Press Online Journal

A project of Solid Food Press (see other related projects).

About

Solid Food looks to explore the diverse journeys of faith experienced by Christians through traditional and experimental poetry, prose, art, and non-fiction, and seeks to partner with writers and artists who are not only faithful to Scripture, but who make an effort to stay transparent, honest, and unafraid of the dark, which is so often where Christ finds us. Solid Food is dedicated to unabashedly portraying the reality of the highs and lows of the Christian life. We want the glory and the lament, the faithful bride and the adulteress, the Promised Land and the exile. At Solid Food, we're not looking for perfection, but for the humble perspective that we are broken sinners made new in Christ, and that sanctification takes time and a whole lot of grace, from both God and each other.

This press is for writers who admire those such as C.S. Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien, Flannery O'Connor, Marilynne Robinson, Tania Runyan, Mary Oliver, Marie Howe, Scott Cairns, Wendell Berry, and Andrew Hudgins.
