Mission & Impact
Our hope is that COwrite's initiatives will positively impact the Colorado writing community by fostering creativity and nurturing talent from all backgrounds. Join us in making a difference.
Inclusivity
COwrite is an inclusive community dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, age or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of participants in any form. Participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the classes or workshops without a refund at the discretion of the organizers.
Collaboration
Our model encourages collaboration by inviting attendees to contribute and connect through critiquing, group exercises, and more. Alongside attendee feedback, writers will also receive feedback from industry professionals.
Outreach
Alongside our classes, COwrite supports non-profit organizations that fight to diversify publishing and combat book bans across the country. Some organizations include We Need Diverse Books, Authors Against Book Bans, The Freedom to Read Foundation, and LAMBDA.
Empowerment
In an industry that is often anything but transparent, our classes pull back the curtain on publishing, empowering authors with a better understanding of the business side of publishing to foster long-term career success.
