Ready to be an author

One chapter, and you are a published author.

Three collaborative anthologies are being written right now. You contribute one chapter to the one that fits your story — edited and published professionally, and distributed on Amazon under your name.

Your story deserves to be told, and someone out there needs to hear it. You keep the copyright to your chapter. Always.

What this is

A real book, not a workshop certificate.

Most people who mean to write a book never start one, because a whole book is an enormous thing to face alone. An anthology changes the size of the ask. You write one chapter — 2,500 to 3,500 words — with a group beside you and a deadline that moves you.

From there it stops being a manuscript and becomes a book. Editing, production, printing, and distribution are handled by She Rises Studios, the professional publishing partner for this project. Erica organizes the program and stays your point of contact throughout.

Choose your book

Three anthologies. Pick the one your story belongs in.

Each is its own book with its own group of contributors. If you are not sure which one fits, say so — Erica will help you place it.

Rewiring a Life Problem

Anyone who came out the other side of something.

For contributors whose story is about a problem they lived through and rewired — the habit, the season, the pattern, the loss. What changed, and what it took.

Veterans & First Responders

Military, law enforcement, fire, EMS, and dispatch.

For those who carried weight professionally. Erica is a former U.S. Army Behavioral Science Specialist and retired federal trauma counselor, and this is the audience she knows best.

Marketing & Digital Creators

Founders, marketers, and people building an audience.

For contributors building something visible — a brand, a business, a following — and the story of what that actually took.

Want your own book instead?

Some people do not want a chapter — they want their own title, with coaching through the writing of it. Erica works with solo authors too. That is a separate engagement from the anthology packages below, so tell her what you have in mind and she will scope it with you.

Every contributor receives this.

Regardless of which package you choose.

What we ask of you

The book only works if everyone shows up.

An anthology is a shared deadline. One chapter arriving late holds up every other author, so contributors agree to:

  • Submit an original chapter of 2,500–3,500 words by the established deadline
  • Complete requested revisions during the editing process
  • Attend the coaching sessions included in your package
  • Conduct yourself professionally with the group and the publishing team

Your chapter must be your own original work. Missing deadlines may result in removal from the anthology without refund.

Before you commit

The terms that matter most.

Payments are non-refundable

Payment is due on enrollment to reserve your place, and planning and publishing begin immediately. Payments are non-refundable unless agreed otherwise in writing.

You keep your copyright

You retain copyright to your chapter. WarriorHeart and She Rises Studios receive only the rights needed to edit, publish, distribute, and promote the anthology as a collective work.

No results are guaranteed

This program provides education, coaching, coordination, and project management. No bestseller status, book sales, speaking engagements, clients, publicity, or financial results are promised.

These are summaries. The full Anthology Participation Agreement is provided before payment and governs participation — see also our Terms and Refund Policy.

Still deciding which package fits?

Tell Erica a little about your story and she will help you choose — or tell you honestly if this is not the right project for it.
