A collaborative book at hope*books is more than just a collection of stories—it’s a shared journey. For authors, it’s an opportunity to be part of a supportive writing community, gain publishing experience, and impact readers without the commitment of writing a full-length book. For readers, it’s a deeply relatable and meaningful resource, filled with voices that resonate, encourage, and offer hope. Each book is carefully curated to ensure a cohesive and impactful message, amplifying the power of storytelling in a way that uplifts both writers and readers alike.
TEN AUTHORS, ONE VOICE:
A collaborative book brings together ten authors, each contributing a chapter that offers unique stories, perspectives, and expertise on a central theme. The result is a rich, diverse collection that provides readers with encouragement, wisdom, and inspiration through a variety of voices and insights.
KEY THEME:
Each of our collaborative books are theme-based. Our team helps to match authors with a theme that most resonates with their stories of hope.
CHAPTER LENGTH:
Each selected author will contribute their own chapter, ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 words. Throughout the process, authors will have plenty of opportunities to collaborate, communicate, and offer support to one another as they work together on this project.
