More than 87 books written and published, fiction and nonfiction.

Where is your book right now?

Every service starts from the stage your book is in. Finish the draft before you pay anyone to edit it; fix the big picture before the sentences.

Founding authors

Four founding spots at 30% off

Book any service or package by 31 January 2027, for work before 30 April. In return, you'll fill in a short feedback form at the end and let us show your cover and a short before-and-after excerpt (you'll approve exactly what's shown). We'll also invite a testimonial; it's optional, it can say whatever you honestly think, and it doesn't change your price.

Mention code FOUNDING30 when you book.

How it works

Everything happens online, in writing, so more of our time goes into your book.

Choose your service and book it. Pay the deposit (or the full price for services under $300) and agree to our terms.
Send us your files. You'll get a private upload link and a short questionnaire about your book.
We confirm your dates. Your start and delivery dates arrive by email within two working days.
We do the work. Questions come by email, answered within two working days.
You receive your book. Final files are released when the balance is paid. Then we'll suggest your next step, if you'd like one.
Booking now for work starting in November 2026. We take on a small number of authors at a time so each book gets our full attention.

How booking works: every Book button opens a short form. Tell us the service and a little about your book. Within two working days you'll get, in writing, the scope, price and start date, with a secure link to pay the deposit. Nothing is charged until you agree.

Is this a fit for your book?

This is for you if...

  • Your book is clean or closed-door.
  • For editing: the draft is finished.
  • You want to own your book and your Amazon account.
  • You want a better book, and know no one can promise sales.
  • You can review and answer questions within a week.

Not the right fit yet if...

  • Your book has explicit content, or is written against God or Jesus.
  • You need a guaranteed number of sales, a bestseller listing or an agent.
  • You'd like us to publish the book under our name.
  • You want the book written for you from nothing (see Voice to Volume if you have recordings or a story to tell).

If your book isn't a fit, we'll tell you before any work begins, and refund you in full.

Questions

Do I keep the rights to my book?

Yes, all of them, and every royalty. We never take a share, a license or an option on future books.

Will my book be published by Hundredfold Books?

No. Your book goes up on your own Amazon account, under your name or imprint. We prepare it and walk you through publishing it; you own it.

Do you use AI?

Every edit is led by an experienced editor, who reviews and approves it before it reaches you. We're open that AI tools do much of the first pass, the way editors have long used style and grammar tools, and every change comes to you as a tracked suggestion you can accept or reject. Your book is your writing, so Amazon doesn't treat an edited book as AI-generated.

Is my manuscript private?

Yes. It's never shared or published, and never shown in our portfolio without your written permission.

Do you only work with Christian authors?

We work with clean books of every kind. Some are openly Christian and some aren't. We don't take on books with explicit content or books written against God or Jesus.

Which do I need first, Story Notes or a line edit?

Story Notes, if the draft is finished but you aren't sure the story or structure works. The line edit, once the big picture is settled. Polishing sentences before the structure is right wastes your money.

Will the edit change my voice?

No. It makes your voice clearer, not ours. Every change is a tracked suggestion you can accept or reject.

Does the line edit include proofreading?

No. A line edit improves sentences; a proofread catches the last typos after all changes are made. We'll recommend a proofreader.

Do I need my own Amazon account and an ISBN?

You'll need a free KDP account; we'll send simple instructions. The Kindle ebook needs no ISBN, and Amazon offers a free one for paperbacks. Buy your own if you want your own imprint name on the record.

Will you press "publish" for me?

No, you will, with us guiding you on screen. We never need your password, and you'll know your own account when we're done.

How many changes can I make to my cover?

You approve a written brief before we design anything, then you get one design and two rounds of changes. After the second round the design is final. Once you've paid in full, the files are yours, and you're welcome to take them to another designer if you'd like more changes.

Who owns the cover?

You may use it for your book and its marketing. The images are licensed stock photography; we never use AI-generated art on client covers.

Why no phone calls?

So more of our time goes into your book. Everything you need is here, in writing, and questions are answered by email within two working days. Sessions that are part of a service (the Blueprint session, the Story Notes call, the upload session) are on Zoom.

Can I pay in installments?

Services under $300 are paid in full. Others take a 50% deposit, with the balance due on delivery, before final files are released.

What if I'm not happy?

Tell us. Most concerns are solved in a revision round. If a project ends early, you pay only for the work completed.
