The general idea is comparable to movies rated PG or PG-13. That means we will not consider any content that is R-rated or \u201cadult\u201d oriented. No sexual content will be accepted, and we prefer no (zero) foul language. If there is violence, alcohol use, drug use, or any foul language, it must be necessary to the story and done in a way that children are not exposed to anything beyond a \u201cPG\u201d rating. <\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"http:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/familyreading-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-932890 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/familyreading-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/familyreading-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/familyreading-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/familyreading-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/familyreading-2048x1367.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We fully realize and acknowledge that fantasy and SciFi books need to make use of violent conflict, warfare, battles, and even cruelty at times, but those elements of story and character development can be done artfully and even with beauty. See, for example, J.R.R. Tolkien\u2019s <em>The Hobbit<\/em> and <em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Romance is welcome, but stay out of the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These guidelines have the sound and feel of being highly subjective.

Our considerations are not negotiable (see our <a href=\"https:\/\/pogenonbooks.com\/terms-and-conditions\">Terms and Conditions<\/a> for more legal language regarding publication decisions).
