Purposeful. Powerful. 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. View our book editing services below to request a quote. Let’s embark on a journey to realise your literary ambitions! About Us Why Work With Us? How to Get Your First Book Published Here’s what our authors had to say.. - Frank R. Thank you very much for your quick response to my book. You have certainly given me something to think about and work to do. I am in the process of rewriting the first chapter [...] Your comments as to why would be helpful. [...] I guess the next step is to send you another draft for you to assess and once we feel the story has resolved some of the above issues go to some editing. Please let me know if this is how you see things happening. [...] Any other thoughts you have are welcome. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Frank. - Frank R.Read Moreread less - Tammy A. Thanks for sending it through. Some great feedback. I'm slowly working through your suggested edits.. - Tammy A.Read Moreread less - Luther R. Thank you for your review and comments. I have read the report and now in the process of going through the comments. If I have any questions I will get back to you. Thank again. Sincerely, Luther. - Luther R.Read Moreread less - Naomi L. Thanks, Declan! We will review these reports soon. Naomi @ The Artful Editor - Naomi L.Read Moreread less - Liljana F. Writerful Books’ comprehensive manuscript appraisal was exactly what I needed to take my work to the next level. Declan’s thoughtful comments and practical advice helped me pinpoint issues with my characters, structure and style that I wouldn’t have picked up myself. I’m very happy with the constructive criticism I received, and now feel more optimistic about the future of my book. Thanks again! - Liljana F.Read Moreread less - Alarna H. Hello Declan, You’re amazing, this is exactly what I needed. Thank you for such a quick turn around. Kindest, Alarna. - Alarna H.Read Moreread less - Natalie J. Thank you so much for the report. It had great feedback. - Natalie J.Read Moreread less - Jo V. Thanks so much for arranging this review. I really enjoyed it. I have a bit of distance from the writing now so it’s great to have this feedback and it will fuel my current and future writing. Many thanks! Jo - Jo V.Read Moreread less - 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.Read Moreread less - Thea O. Thanks for sending it through. The beta reader is the first person outside of family to read it, so I was expecting it to be torn to shreds a bit! I'll be able to go through their comments a bit more closely over the weekend but it looks like I've got plenty to be getting on with! Cheers, Thea - Thea O.Read Moreread less - Mark P. Thank you for the helpful and detailed feedback! - Mark P.Read Moreread less - Martin O. Thanks for the comments, they were exactly what I wanted. [...] I like your idea of rewriting as a epistolary novel taking the form of a diary though I need to look up exactly what that means and find some good examples. Martin. - Martin O.Read Moreread less - Tore H. Thank you for your kind words. Actually, I had expected much harsher feedback, as I've mulled the sorry over in my mind after I sent it to you and come up with a number of scenes / ideas I felt were bad or even cringe worthy. Also, of the 6-7 friends I have asked to beta read, none seem to have bothered to read past page 30ish. - Tore H.Read Moreread less - William Thank you so much for the invaluable feedback on Zoa's Arks. I am grateful for the cogent points you brought up. - WilliamRead Moreread less - Morgan V. I appreciate your quick and efficient work on this. As a writer, my biggest fear is that I'll bore people in the process of the read. Hopefully that wasn't the case here, though it sounds like it did a bit in the middle. I think my plan is to go the self publishing route. Perhaps that will make a difference in my word count. I did shave off about 10,000 words before I gave it to you. I don't know how in the world I'd ever get it down to 90. Then again, if it is in the YA category, perhaps it needs to be. Which brings me to that. Where do you think you would find it on a Barnes and Noble bookshelf? And is there a certain niche readership that I would need to find for it to latch on? - Morgan V.Read Moreread less - Jo D. Thank you for the report. I like my premise for this work, but clearly I’m having trouble pulling it off. Thanks for catching so much.
