DEVELOPMENT EDITING
We give writers helpful feedback as they shape their final draft. Whether you’re just starting out or have written for years, development editing offers fresh eyes on your manuscript. This stage looks at how the story unfolds, how it moves, and how the big picture holds together. Readers share constructive notes and ideas for revision, focusing on the larger flow so your writing connects more strongly with readers.
MANUSCRIPT REVIEWS
Giving feedback, even on published work, means looking closely at how the piece reads, how it flows, and how it feels. In sharing thoughts, readers and writers work together to notice slips in tone, wording, or story gaps that might need fixing. Talking through suggestions becomes less about pointing out mistakes and more about teaming up to make the writing shine. It’s a partnership that helps the work reach its fullest impact.
COPY-EDITING
Copy editing makes sure your manuscript looks polished and consistent, following the right style guide for spelling and grammar. It’s all about giving close attention to the details that keep your writing clean and professional. This includes checking fonts, headings, and text layout, as well as things like paragraph indents, punctuation, verb tense, and point of view. Even small touches, like capitalization, hyphenation, and names, get a careful review so your work reads smoothly.
MENTOR BOOKS REVIEW
We truly love books, and we believe reading is not only enjoyable but also a great way to learn about writing. We dive into the pages, noticing the choices authors make and the techniques they use. Every story has something to teach, and the more we read, the more we grow as writers ourselves. That’s why we welcome your thoughts, join the conversation, share your take, and bring your questions to our ongoing book discussions.
WRITING FELLOWSHIP
The Christian Writers Fellowship is a gathering place for writers who share their faith in Christ. It’s a community where you can connect with others, find encouragement, and draw inspiration for both your spiritual and writing journey. Meeting quarterly, members can sharpen their skills, build friendships with fellow writers, and grow a deeper love for Christian writing. Together, we celebrate words that reflect and honor our shared faith.

”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
