WRITERFUL BOOKS

Christian editing. Christian publishing & Christian community, for writers who believe their words matter.

Writerful Books has spent years helping authors sharpen their manuscripts and find their readers. Today, we’re doing something more focused, and more personal: we exist solely to serve Christian writers, novelists, memoirists, and self-help authors, who want to write books that mean something.

Why The Change?

AI has transformed this industry. Any writer can now run a manuscript through a machine and get competent line edits in seconds. What a machine cannot give you is conviction, an editor who reads your work looking for truth, not just technique, and who will tell you honestly whether it’s ready, and whether it’s needed.

That’s the editor we’ve decided to be.

A More Selective Approach

We’re no longer a general editing service for every genre and every writer. We now work exclusively with Christian fiction and Christian self-help manuscripts, and we only take on new writers whose work we genuinely believe in. If we don’t think a manuscript is ready, or isn’t the right fit for what we do, we’ll tell you plainly, and point you elsewhere.

Our name goes on fewer books. We want it to mean more when it does.

What We Offer:

► Christian book editing, developmental and line editing for fiction and self-help manuscripts

► Literary agenting, representation for Christian authors ready to query publishers

► Independent publishing — Writerful Books is building a small list of uplifting Christian fiction and non-fiction, published directly

► A Christian writing and blogging community, articles, author interviews, and resources for writers of faith

► Christian merchandise, for readers and writers who want to carry their faith into the everyday

Our Conviction

We believe good books can still change lives, and that faith belongs at the center of the stories we tell, not chasing the industry’s latest checklist of what’s fashionable, but asking a simpler question: is this honest, is it good, and does it point toward something true? That’s the standard we’re holding ourselves to as we build this next chapter.

Don’t leave your manuscript’s potential up to chance. Our editors have helped thousands of writers in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, UK, and the USA refine their work and get published. We’re passionate about helping you share your story with the world.

How to Get Your First Book Published

Here’s what our authors had to say..

- Penny F.

Thank you for your detailed report..work life has got in the way sadly. I appreciate your many recommendations.. many, no real surprise. As a new writer I felt I needed another opinion even though the MS was incomplete to help me clarify strengths and weaknesses. I had set my book aside deliberately for almost a month and now have two solid weeks to devote to it - and will attempt to address your concerns. I know I have a long way to go to develop good novel writing skills ....I'm hoping practice will get me there!!
Once again thank you for your guidance.

I was clearly led to the right Irishman to beta read the book: what with a daughter with Iona in her name, a Jamaican connection and a knowledge of that part of Irish history, who better? I really appreciate all of the details that you replied with, it's very helpful. I mentioned that I have two endings and would love your opinion on them. I have attached a new file. This is actually the first ending. The one you read was the new alternate. This version begins at chapter 53. Thanks for doing this. I'm really curious to hear what your thoughts are. I am just beginning the agent query process..

I took a quick read of the report yesterday and will focus in today. It appears I have a lot of work to do to create a book people will buy.
Appreciate the honesty.

Thanks so much for the essay and the editing, it's all very encouraging and it has gotten me back into self-editing at full speed! [...] Sorry for babbling a bit, but I felt inspired! Thanks again for this, and by all means feel free to ask anything you like. If you or the reader want to talk about it face-to-face (digitally so to speak) I am also very open to it, I don't have much opportunity to speak about my writing with people in the industry so it would be a great experience for me to chat about it. Kind Regards, Alessandro.

Thank you so much for your excellent evaluation. I knew the manuscript had problems but I am so close to the material I did not know what they were. You found the science section interesting so I think I will open with that. the answer to your question about the tea kettle not boiling over is: it does in the form of steam. Did you find any of the Bible information interesting besides the word of God bit? Or am I correct in concluding nothing was interesting or surprising in the Old Testament section and the relevance was not obvious? Thanks, Bryce.

Please let the reader know that I'm flattered, and none of your beta readers should ever fear causing offense. I want their honest opinions, besides I'm pretty thick-skinned 🙂 - Katherine S.

- Hanif M.

Thank you for your concise report which was quite helpful in highlighting the areas which need to be worked on in the manuscript. Indeed the middle part did seem to go off point and there is no need for several characters/situations.

Additionally your comments on the appropriate dialogue and South London lingo are well noted.

There were some attempts to highlight the disillusionment the protagonist faced when arriving Nigeria. That was also supposed to be part of his journey.

However It's clear that the manuscript does require a good plot overhaul/change in the sections mentioned

Naturally the services of a developmental and copy editor would be engaged. The point of this assessment was to ensure if the story had some potential.

Best regards

Thank you for your advice on the manuscript. You are right that this is an earlier draft and it needs some more revising, but I think I have some ideas based on your comments. Take care, Nikhil. - Nikhil S.

- Lulu K.

Thank you so much for the report and for all your observations within it. Having this professional guidance is what I have been yearning for since I started writing the book. I am an early school leaver and also suffer from dyslexia so I knew there would be many grammar mistakes as well restructuring to be done. I sometimes overwrite things as what I am trying to express gets tied up in my mind in knots of confusion. - Lulu K.

- Mary K.

Thanks for your quick turnaround on the report, but even more importantly, thank you for your thoughtful and constructive comments. I've been hesitant to contact the victim's family but you've encouraged me to give it a go and see what happens. Truthfully, in my mind this book is about possibly getting justice for Tatanisha as well as Dell. Thanks again for your excellent suggestions. Sincerely, Mary. - Mary K.

Thank you very much for the comprehensive review, Declan! I very much appreciate it. I am going to see if I can combine the first three chapters into two in order to get things moving more quickly. Thanks again! - Geoff M.
