How we serve our writers
Wordhouse offers both new and experienced writers a range of services and support. We work with authors in developing their manuscripts, providing them with a thorough review of their writings. Even published authors may yet need ushering. How to render their message more accessible to the target audience is a primary goal for these writers. In the review process, Wordhouse analyses writing strategies, discusses narrative structures, and guides the writer's style.
For experienced writers Wordhouse is a resource hub, pointing writers to mainstream and independent publishers, book reviewers, and other industry professionals. We are committed to giving honest and constructive leads about the appropriate platforms writers may wish to explore. Whether you're just starting to write or looking to take your career to the next level, we are here for you in your creative journey.
DEVELOPMENT EDITING
We offer guidance and feedback to authors who are seeking to improve their final draft. Whether you are a first-time writer or a seasoned author, development editing can provide you with expert advice on various elements of your manuscript. This editing phase involves analyzing the development, pacing, and overall structure of the narrative. The reader may offer some constructive criticism and suggestions for revisions on a macro level.
MANUSCRIPT REVIEWS
Commenting even on works that have been published involves carefully reviewing the content, structure, and style of the piece, focusing on consistency of tone and atmosphere. In the feedback and suggestions for improvement, the author and reader agree to identify inconsistencies, language errors, or gaps in the narratives. The discussion and working out of the recommendations to improve readability and impact is a meaningful collaboration between the author and editor.
COPY-EDITING
Copy-editing ensures that the manuscript follows a formatting guideline and style sheet to check inconsistencies in spelling and grammar. A thorough examination of the details of language in the written work, copy editing involves proofreading style details such as fonts in running heads and body of text, paragraph indentations, punctuation and quotation marks, verb tense and points of view, capitalizations, hyphenations, terminologies, or names.
“In writing. Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was ‘terrible,’ describe it so that we’ll be terrified. Don’t say it was ‘delightful’; make us say ‘delightful’ when we’ve read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, ‘Please will you do my job for me.'” – C.S. Lewis
MENTOR BOOKS REVIEW
We have a deep love for books, and we believe that reading not only gives us pleasure but also provides valuable insights into writing. We immerse ourselves in book pages, dissecting the techniques used by the authors. As we learn more about the craft behind a great story, we can become better writers ourselves. We welcome your book discussions and encourage everyone to share their thoughts, interpretations, and questions in ongoing book conversations.
WRITING FELLOWSHIP
The Christian Writers Fellowship is a community of writers who share a common faith in Christ. This fellowship provides a platform for writers to connect, support, and inspire one another in their spiritual and literary journeys. Through regular meetings, workshops, and events, members have the opportunity to hone their writing skills, meet and greet other writers, and deepen their appreciation of Christian literature. .

”There is something in us, as storytellers and as listeners to stories, that demands the redemptive act, that demands that what falls at least be offered the chance to be restored. The reader of today looks for this motion, and rightly so, but what he has forgotten is the cost of it. His sense of evil is diluted or lacking altogether, and so he has forgotten the price of restoration. When he reads a novel, he wants either his sense tormented or his spirits raised. He wants to be transported, instantly, either to mock damnation or a mock innocence.” ― Flannery O’Connor
