“The Writing Competition isn’t about money.
If you finish, you get your fee back.
Nobody loses. The money isn’t the point.
The point is to discover what your own words reveal when you dare to go deeper. "

I’ve written three feature film scripts, a theater play, and my e-book Story of Sam. Each project wasn’t just a piece of art — it was a mirror into my own soul.

 

When I finished the third script, I realized it carried my hidden longing for family, my deep wish to one day hold my own children.

 

The e-book Story of Sam stripped me even further — it revealed my brokenness. Writing that book changed everything. The last chapters brought me face to face with God. For the first time, I understood that the final destination of my journey had always been Jesus. That book was not just a story. It was my turning point.

 

From that moment on, writing became the place where I faced myself and where words could heal. That’s why I opened this platform: to share that same possibility with others, to show how writing can become a tool of truth and transformation.

 

May this journey bring you closer to truth and healing. God bless you.

🛡️ IVO's  ROLE

To speak the truth and push you to go deeper with your writing and self-discovery.

"Writing Competition" rules

For the exact rules of the competition, including the entry fee and prizes, please click here:

​When I met Ivo, I was like King Théoden when he was under the spell of Saruman. I was depressed, weak, numb. 
Ivo saw through all my bs. Called me out on my own lies.
Not with judgment, but with clarity. Because he lived it himself.
I found the power again.
I didn’t get any motivation from Ivo. I just got my sword back.
