Writerful Books has helped Christian authors since 2012. Christian book editing, literary agenting, and independent publishing for writers of faith.
WRITERFUL BOOKS

Purposeful. Powerful. Published.


Author looking to get published.

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.

    - David J.
    Thanks for that, your reviewer made some pretty encouraging comments and I can see the sense in the bits they criticised. I've made notes of a few things I'm going to modify or even remove. I hope you are also well. Kind regards, David.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my book and provide your feedback! I think it is very helpful, and I've definitely got a lot of work ahead to try and cut it down some.

    Thank you,

    - Kathryn H.
    Thank you very much for returning this so quickly. I appreciate the kind words and support. That gives me the courage to try to get an agent for this story, although I haven't had luck finding an agent in the past.
    Best wishes, Kathryn. - Kathryn H.

    - Claire C.
    Thanks so much for you assessment. I have to confess, you were far more positive about my writing than I was expecting!

    I have read through the assessment a couple of times and I am about to work my way through the Word version.

    I was not surprised by your notes on the opening. It has been haunting me through every edit. Who knew the first line would be the most challenging. Thank you for your thoughts, I will see what I can do to make it more compelling/inviting.

    It was also good for you to pick out the section I did on the vows. If you can believe it, it was a lot worse! I went on a crazy tangent, even played around with an illustration. I felt like a blog was inserted into the chapter, but I kept it in because I was trying to show in the reality of vows an entertaining way. I shall remove it happily and explore other ways of making my point.

    For now, I have lots to do and I am looking forward to diving back into the manuscript with some direction and perspective from you.

    Thanks again. It was really wonderful to read your encouraging words. This was very much a personal challenge for me - to write a story that had been dancing around in my mind for a few years. Knowing it wasn’t a total turd spurs me on to have a go at a second one.

    Cheers

    Thank you for your report by Carrie. Please pass on my thanks to her also, particularly for her involvement in the story. I have made some changes in accordance with Carrie's recommendations. [...] Well Declan I guess it is time to test the publishers. I am still deliberating on whether to use a Literary Agent or just go direct to Publishers. Any ideas on this would be gratefully received. All the best, Frank. - Frank

    Thank you again for taking the time to look over my work. I never thought it would actually go somewhere so I'm beyond excited to have a stranger think it has potential for more.

    From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

    Best Wishes,

    Morgan - Morgan G.

    just wanted to thank you for your feedback when reading Last Man’s Last Stand. I found your feedback very fair and helpful. I especially appreciated all the examples you gave me in the notes sections. I am a new writer and I found those examples to be very helpful when studying how to improve my writing. I just wanted to write this up to show you my appreciation. Thank you. Mitch. - Mitchell L.

    - Denise N.
    Thank you for my Evaluation. I was quite excited and nervous to read the feedback. Your feedback was really great. I do understand what you are saying. My biggest thing I did get from the feedback was, I am obviously not getting my message across about the most important topic of all, which is, negative money thoughts, all to do with the mind. It is not about, financial security, independence etc it is about looking at your money thoughts and language. If you have any other suggestions I would love to hear from you, if not, thank you again. - Denise N.

  • - Nella R.
    Thanks so much for your thorough and constructive review! Being into romance writing, I'm not surprised the romance is a little overdone. I will revisit and find a way of dealing with the issues you so proficiently highlight. It does all make sense, and yes, I did want to finish the story quickly. I got my idea for the ending from The Birds(Hitchcock) - when they drive off leaving behind a problem that is clearly not going away. Regards, Nella. - Nella R.

    Just got to work and read the report with some trepidation. I'm happy to say that I'm quite excited. I've noted your points which I've found encouraging and enlightening so I think I'm going to be making some changes including extra work at the end. There is a sequel that expands a lot more on what happened and how Sarah's life changes and what drives Rachel. In the new year I'll send it to you for a read. In the mean time many thanks and have a great Christmas. Kind regards, Rob. - Rob B.

    Dear Declan, I just wanted to thank you for your positive comments. Young Eagle Rising has taken me four years to write and I am delighted my efforts have given the story an authentic flavour and that you found it a worthwhile read. From the beginning I made up my mind William would not use the word 'Indian' and that I would stay as far away as possible from any 'John Wayne' portrayal of the Native Americans. I have only one question: do you have any advice on who I should sent it to for editing? Writerful seem to help with every stage which is very appealing to someone like me as I know little about the publishing world, but I'm sure there are many editors out there equally as good. If I choose Writerful Books, can I mention you have read it? Many thanks again!
    - Sharon J.
