Testimony Writing Contest April 1 - may 31, 2021
Why you should enter
Your testimony is the most powerful tool you have for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. If your well-written testimony qualifies you to become a member of the Christian Writers Collective, LLC, (CWC,) you'll potentially earn royalties from each CWC book that includes an article you've written. And that may well allow you to fund your God-given dreams, in exchange for a minimal time investment.
- Value of 1 year Free Membership: $1000.
- Estimated value of 1 year contract: six-figures.
See how royalties were estimated in the next section.
Be among the first 25 Christian writers to enter this contest and you'll save the $95 entry fee, too!

How we estimated the royalties
Our Jesus Can... series is modeled after the Chicken Soup for the Soul (CSS) - the world’s most successful inspirational book series since 1993. Each CSS book features 101 writers in the 10-12 books they publish each year. While we ultimately plan to feature 100 Christian writers, our first book, Jesus Can....Give You A New Life!, is on sale now and features the testimonies of our inaugural group of 30 writers. The similarities between our series and Chicken Soup for the Soul makes it possible for us to use their sales history of almost 30 years to estimate our potential earnings:
Say that we are able to sell 16 million copies, as Chicken Soup for the Soul did in its first year. Say furthermore that we earn a $5 profit on every copy sold:
- Gross profits: 16,000,000 x $5 per book profit = $80,000,000
- Each member’s share: $80,000,000 x 1% = $800,000
- Each member's net share: $800,000 x 90% = $720,000...before taxes
This contest allows the first 25 contestants that qualify for membership to join absolutely free of charge. Even if you're not among the first 25 writers to qualify for membership, the $95 entry fee is very small compared to what you may gain. However, you must submit your testimony before May 31, 2021 AND before the current 70 openings for Christian writers are filled. If you’re serious about joining the CWC, I’d suggest you start writing your testimony today. See the section below for more information about how to enter.

How to enter this contest
Your well-written testimony, using 500-750 words, serves as your entry for this writing contest and your application for membership to the CWC. It will also appear as your first article in our next book if you are selected as a contest winner.
Until 25 contestants have qualified for CWC membership, you can use our CONTACT US form to submit your testimony directly to us for evaluation. After 25 contestant have qualified, a checkout feature will be added to this page. It will require payment of the $95, non-refundable, contest entry fee, before allowing you to submit your testimony.
NOTE: Please do NOT contact us to ask if it's still free to enter this contest. If there is no checkout feature, it's still free. However, feel free to CONTACT US with any other concerns you may have. Thanks!
Here are some testimony writing tips:
- Pray. Bring the Holy Spirit into your writing process.
- Again, be led by the Holy Spirit, but this is the standard format for a testimony:
- My life before Jesus
- How Jesus came into my life
- My life after surrendering all to Jesus
- Write, edit, repeat… Don’t expect to get your testimony done in one seating.
- Don’t allow satan to discourage you from submitting your testimony today.
