About Crimson Ark

Crimson Ark Publishing is an independent imprint that publishes Bahá'í-inspired fiction for readers of every age — picture books, chapter books, middle grade, young adult, and adult literary fiction.

Our books explore themes the Bahá'í Faith holds dear: the oneness of humanity, the equality of women and men, the harmony of science and religion, the elimination of prejudice, the dignity of work as worship, and the transformative power of love and consultation. They are stories — not sermons. Characters wrestle with real problems. Endings earn their hope.

An independent imprint

This is not an official Bahá'í website. It is an independent project by Crimson Ark Publishing. All works on this site are fiction inspired by the spiritual principles of the Bahá'í Faith and do not represent the Bahá'í World Centre, any National Spiritual Assembly, or any Bahá'í institution.

Stories that draw on the Faith's spiritual principles are not the same as the authoritative texts. We invite anyone curious about those teachings to read them directly at the Bahá'í International Community's website or in the Writings.

How it's made

Crimson Ark is an AI-assisted publishing project. Our drafts are crafted by a small team using large language models as a writing partner — the way other authors might use an editor or a research assistant. Every manuscript is reviewed and revised before publication. Cover art is also AI-generated, with hand-curation for consistency, age appropriateness, and a literary feel.

We share these stories online for free because the values they explore — service, justice, the unity of humanity — belong to everyone. If you love a particular book, the paperback is available on Amazon and helps keep the project running.
