Looking for stories you can feel good about handing to your kids?
At StoryJoy, we believe in letting kids be kids.
StoryJoy publishes fun, clean, wholesome, non-woke, conservative books across all children’s genres.
Our books do NOT include any political, ideological, social justice, progressive, or gender-related agendas or propaganda.
NO anti-America, anti-patriotism, anti-God, or anti-family messages.
NO CRT.
We avoid any content on the topics of sexual orientation, gender identity, communism, activism, or climate—focusing instead on fun, age-appropriate stories that kids love and parents trust.
NO indoctrination of any sort.
There’s never any explicit content or excessive violence, just classic storytelling with heart, adventure, and traditional good values.
Our books are also not lectures against wokeness; they're simply stories. Completely unpolitical.
No matter your beliefs, religion, political affiliation, or parenting style, StoryJoy gives you safe, delightful stories your family can enjoy together.
Our mission is simple: great stories, no hidden messages, and total respect for every family’s values.
All of our authors are conservative and traditional.
Some of their stories were written recently, and some were written over a decade ago but rejected by modern publishers for not being woke.
For instance, Lily Galili contacted hundreds of agents—in fact, every agent under the sun across the US, Canada, the UK, and even Australia. She received a reply from a major TV production company and from a literary agent, urging her to resubmit it if she changed the plot and characters. They wanted lesbian mermaids instead of her straight characters. Focus on disabilities, inclusion, and diversity instead of magic adventures.
Some agents instructed authors like her to create “anti-hero” evil characters who do bad things and are idolized as heroes.
They said “good heroes” was cliché, passé, and boring: “we need broken, bad heroes who make mistakes and break norms, not good ones.” They wanted dysfunctional families and heroes who have addictions or bad habits.
But our Lily loved her stories the way they were and refused to change them. When all doors closed on her from major publishers, she felt defeated and gave up on publishing for almost 14 years—until she's publishing her stories now through StoryJoy, in the original way she imagined them.
Like the books that were published 50+ years ago. Remember those? They weren't radicalized, political, or trying to change your child's mind. Good stories. No hidden messages or agendas. No politics.
Our books are conservative in the sense that they don't contain modern Left-wing messaging.
Think: Narnia, The Hobbit, Roald Dahl etc.
Neutral, agenda-free fiction.
No, we don't promote any religion. It's up to you how you want to bring up your kids.
We neither promote nor speak against any specific religion. Just good stories.
It depends. Our stories often contain magical elements and fantasy creatures, whether it's fairies, witches, dragons, or goblins.
We do not promote black magic, Satanism, or evil witchcraft.
Our stories may feature evil witches, but they are clearly portrayed as the villains, never idolized, and always defeated by the good heroes in the end. Some of our stories focus on the battle between good and evil—and the good wins.
If you love Narnia, Dr. Seuss, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and the classic Disney fairytales (Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, etc.), or any other fantasy stories you read as a kid back when the world was normal, our stories are for you.
Fantasy can be used to teach strong moral lessons in a way kids enjoy and understand: the battle between good and evil, the misuse of great power, the lure of evil to gain success or wealth without effort. Fantasy stories can show the importance of staying true to one’s beliefs, values, and moral compass, even when evil looms and threatens to destroy you for not participating. It can teach the courage to stand up for what’s right even when evil holds more power, the choice to fight for good even when there’s no reward or punishment at stake. It teaches the strength to stay true to yourself, to stand by friends through thick and thin, and to resist outside pressure and threats. It encourages pushing forward through the darkest night—and finally, defeating evil and overcoming it.
(By the way, both C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were devout Christians who wrote fantasy.
Some Christians enjoy our stories. However, if you don’t want your kids to hear about any type of magic, it's not for you.
No. Our stories are traditional with clear, old-fashioned family roles, clear natural sexes, and straight relationships.
You can find a plethora of books specifically focused on the interesting lives and relationships of queer, trans, and LGBTQ+ characters at any major publishing houses and on Amazon.
No. Some of our stories feature a female lead character but they're not feminist. There's no man-hating.
No. Some stories for older kids contain romance—the characters may hug, kiss innocently, or get married and live happily ever after, like innocent old Disney films. Romance is based on emotional connection. Clean and wholesome.
Certainly not.
Nope. There might be some phrases sometimes like "To hell with you!" or "Damn it!" but that's about as far as it goes.
Oh, sometimes the villains do hurl insults, but they're typically quite mild. For instance, they might use literary words that mean "stupid" but sound amusing like: "inane glaikit moron" (stupid senseless fool).
Our stories NEVER feature words like sh*t, the F* word, any derogatory words, or references to sexual body parts.
Some stories for older kids contain mild violence in action scenes like slaying a dragon, fighting monsters, or battling against evil witches. But all the scenes are described mildly, without any disturbing, intense horror or gore that would scare kids.
We include age ratings and parental advisories on each story.
Nope. We're all for free markets and Capitalism.
Our stories feature kind, noble, brave, loyal heroes.
Through their actions and the outcomes, we show kids what good characters are like, giving them worthy role models to love and follow. We do not believe in the modern "anti-heroes" (aka turning villains into idols).
Our stories teach honesty, loyalty, bravery, finding courage even in the darkest times, overcoming hardship and obstacles, perseverance, empathy, traditional virtues, resilience, goals and achievement, success, individuality, personal growth, and more.
Our authors support family, friendships, personal responsibility, honest work, morality, freedom, freedom of speech, tolerance for different opinions and beliefs, capitalism, free markets, the right for self-defense (no pacifist "heroes" giving up and letting the dragon devour their friends and kingdom here), honesty, courage, compassion, self-reliance, forgiveness, kindness, and more.
We believe that personal merits, character, choices, and actions matter more than skin color, race, or gender.
A good human is a good human, no matter their physical looks or birth location.
It varies, but in essence, our authors love children and convey values dear to them through their stories, such as loyalty, love for children and family, respect for one's elderly parents, grandparents, and relatives, honesty, strong family bonds, patience, loyalty, kindness, and more.
Examples might include scenes of a girl falling in love with a man and wanting to marry him and have a child together; a teenage girl going on thrilling adventures and fighting various monsters to find a cure for her old, frail grandmother; siblings overcoming quarrels and defending each other; a girl setting out on adventures in another dimension to save a baby whom a giant snatched; a boy becoming a hero for saving his brother; a family stranded on an island banding together to find a treasure and a way back home etc.
Not all families or characters are utopian and perfect; sometimes there is a bad character (like in A Deal with a Ghost, one selfish, cowardly brother abandons his siblings to be eaten by Trolls) but those bad characters either learn their lessons, grow, and become good, or are clearly villainized and fairly punished.
And no, abortion is never mentioned or promoted. Ever.
Yes. We're publishing stories with various characters, both white and non-white. We have over 350+ stories in our pipeline.
Some of our characters are from various ethnic backgrounds.
We do not celebrate any one race over another. We appreciate good characters, and they are found everywhere.
Anti-woke books typically tackle pressing current issues. They actively address woke agendas and counter them, reinforcing traditional conservative values, and opening the way for important conversations with kids.
Great examples include The Tuttle Twins.
Un-woke or non-woke stories are stories simply without woke elements or modern agendas.
Ones that could have been written in the 1970s.
That's us.
We do not engage in modern political or social debates. We simply share Classic-style un-woke stories.
All our stories have an uplifting, positive end.
There may be dark times, hardships, challenges, or even some losses along the way, but there is always hope and a happy ending. In some stories, the heroine might be an orphan, or there may be mentions of a parent’s death. A fairytale might say a monster ate someone or mention a terrbl wtch killed hudreds of people—but always in a gentle, age-appropriate way that doesn’t frighten or upset children.
Each book includes a parental guidance advisory.
