The Book You’ve Been Meaning to Write Starts Here
You’ve been carrying the idea of a book for years. This is your chance to finally become an author.
Maybe you’ve had a book idea in your head, or heart, for years.
But life, work, fear, or perfectionism always got in the way.
The Contigo Press Cohort was designed for people just like you.
People who are ready to stop thinking about writing a book and actually become published authors.
This is your entry point: one chapter, real support, and a beautiful book you helped create.
What is a Cohort?
It’s not a course. It’s not a masterclass.
It’s a collaborative publishing experience, guided step by step over 8 weeks.
Together with 8–12 other first-time (or long-paused) writers, you’ll:
- Write and revise one chapter (2,500–5,000 words)
- Participate in a structured, peer-supported writing process
- Receive light editing and design support
- Be featured in a professionally published anthology
- Receive 10 printed copies of the book
- Share in the revenue, or choose to donate your share to a good cause
You walk away with more than a finished chapter.
You walk away a published author.
For Some, It’s a Goal Achieved.
For Others, It’s Just the Beginning.
Some contributors will join this cohort and check something big off their life list.
Others will find their creative spark reignited—and go on to write solo books, launch newsletters, speak, or start new projects.
Both are wins.
Who It’s For
This cohort is designed for people who:
- Have carried a story, idea, or message for years but never managed to finish a book.
- Feel overwhelmed by the size of the project and need structure to make it achievable.
- Have tried courses, workshops, or writing apps, but still don’t have a published book.
- Care about more than just “getting words down” — you want your writing to have meaning and impact.
- Thrive in community and want encouragement, accountability, and camaraderie along the way.
- Are you ready to trade procrastination for progress, even if the process feels scary?
- Want the credibility and joy of finally being able to say: “I’m a published author.”
What You’ll Get
When you join a Contigo Press cohort, you get more than a writing program; you get the chance to finally hold a published book with your name on it.
- A small, supportive community of 8–12 writers walking the same path
- Weekly structure, writing prompts, and clear deadlines
- Two rounds of peer review to sharpen your work
- Light editorial feedback to help your chapter shine
- A finished anthology with your chapter professionally published
- 10 printed copies to sell, gift, or keep (€20 retail value each)
- An equal share of book sales profits, or the option to donate your share to a cause
- A publishing credit you can be proud of and a platform for future opportunities
Your cohort fee includes everything: community, writing support, editing, design, publishing, launch support, and participation in the revenue share model. No hidden costs, no extras, just a clear path from “someday” to “published.”
