FROM IDEA TO INK

WHERE WRITERS BECOME AUTHORS

Publish & Pour exists for writers who are ready to take their work seriously — without doing it alone. This program combines structure, accountability, and professional support inside the warm, welcoming setting of Sip N Read Book Bar.

Each cohort runs for six months, meeting once per month in person. As your work progresses, members may advance into higher tiers designed to support the next phase of their publishing journey.

Every meeting includes a 5-ounce pour of Michigan wine, poured with purpose.
