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.

How to Get Your First Book Published 

Here’s what our authors had to say..

  • - Jenni J.
    You are currently my new favourite person after saying such positive things about my writing. I was quite taken aback with your appreciation of ‘Boundary Lines’. I’m really pleased you enjoyed reading it and were able to connect with it on a personal level.

    Thank you for your comments and editing. I look forward to playing around with the passages you highlighted. All of your comments are valued by me.

    Your honest and personal response really touched me and perfectly explains why you did not make an initial comment on the assessment regarding this passage of writing. Thank you for clarifying this. Although unsettling, my heart desires to create hope for the reader – a thought you did express in the initial manuscript assessment - so thank you! - Jenni J.

    Hello Declan, You’re amazing, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you for such a quick turn around. Kindest, Alarna. - Alarna H.

    - Kevin O.
    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..

    Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. Your report is so thorough and encouraging. I will write more on the weekend when I’m not so tired — a new school year has started here and I’m a teacher and my mind is already fried. - Vanessa R.

    Thank you for providing a very informative and constructive critique. I feel most of the observations were quite valid and I will proceed with further refinements and edits. Thank you again, John. - John B.

    - 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

    To cut a long story short. Could you improve the story and if so what would it cost me to do so. I'm thinking that a bit of tweaking will help the story tremendously. Margaret - Margaret D.

    I received your report and took a gander. I’ll have more time later tonight to read it in detail. [...] Generally speaking, you highlighted exactly what I expected (not a bad thing). I knew going into this project that it would be a challenge staying “in the moment” i.e., biblical times/language. It has been fun. The protagonist’s journey – that’s what it’s all about. I’ll be in touch. Thank you. Michael. - Michael P.

    - Sean C.
    Thank you so much for your report. And I agree with, say, 95% of it. I always wanted to better describe the technical aspects of the business and I could have written 200,000 - 300,000 words, but I learned as I went along that that was not the route to take. I’m happy now to say hello again to the text and begin to revise it pretty much in the manner you suggest. I must say that it’s the journey of writing the book that is so satisfying – I suspect I will be lost when it’s actually finished (although I have an idea for another one). Good luck with Heart of Darkness, one of my favorites; you’ll easily breeze through it since it’s so short, then think, “what was he actually talking about”? Enjoy!

    Thanks very much for this. I will work on the recommendations, especially to speed up/improve the beginning. I’m feeling a little more hopeful about the story overall. Best regards, Elizabeth. - Elizabeth S.

    - Helen G.
    Thank you so much for your insightful comments. I had to laugh at the grammatical errors. It seems no matter how hard I try to find them, some always get through. Grammarly is good, but it doesn’t seem to ever catch it all. This novel went through 4 edits with the program and it missed all of those you specified. I need to read it aloud, which I haven’t done. It is the best way but time consuming. - Helen G.

    - Maria G.
    Thank you very much for this. I find it quite helpful, and instructive. Especially the bias, it was definitely not intended. I simply did not realise it. Neither my editors. So, I will work some more on the story, and will take on board all the other raised questions. - Maria G.

    - Christopher M.
    Thank you so much! This is great feedback, I appreciate your ability to see the grammatical details, while still evaluating the manuscript on it's broad strokes. That's not an easy thing to do. Thanks again, Chris.
