Establish and authenticate yourself as THE expert!

I speak with many individuals who are candid, yet shy, about sharing their life with the world. But what happens, and the reason why they seek me out, is that they can no longer keep that knowledge, that message, inside of them.

When the stress becomes too much for the size of the bud, there is no other choice but to let go and allow the expansion of what no longer wishes to be kept hidden.

This is often, and not unlikely in every case, when the Maya Angelous, the Oprah Winfreys, the Arthur Millers, the Steven Spielbergs, the Johann Sebastian Bachs, those who run for the high-profile elected offices can no longer play small, as the message of what’s buried inside of them, needs to be shared with the world! And the sooner the better!

Oh, the beauty of the bloom!

While speaking to these individuals who have a great and powerful message, they often do not possess the knowledge or have the funds it takes to begin the journey of being the carrier and ambassador of hope, inspiration, and encouragement.

Do you have a story of courage to tell in the face of diversity, adversity, or just plain uncertainty, yet overcame it all?

Have you been through heavy challenges, only to become the conqueror?

Do you relate to any of these situations?

• deep in debt but created a savings system to find your way out
• suffered deep grief over the loss of a loved one, human or pet, yet realized that the pain was something you had to go through to be happy again
• diagnosed with a debilitating or deadly disease, yet against all odds, implemented a diet or exercise regimen which now has left you cancer free or kept you out of a wheelchair longer than the doctors thought possible
• faced with filing bankruptcy, yet lived to tell about it
• was a caregiver to a family member or friend, learning how not to sweat the small stuff

There are stories out there, such as those shared above, plus many more than you could ever fathom or imagine, that are filled with courage while under siege when the trial, tribulation, or transition became one of sur-thrival, triumphant, and transformative.

You may think that courage was not involved during that horrific time of hardship and strife. But, oh, let me be the first one to tell you how brave you were to continue day in and day out until you came out of the throes of bad times. Many don’t have the strength you showed, getting up each morning to face God-only-knows-what.

But you did make it through! And that is the exact reason your story is to be told!

Read stories of 11 women who could no longer keep their story to themselves!

Read stories of 6 women who hid their true identity until it could be contained no more!

You may already know this next part.  You know what your purpose is here on this Earth—to help and assist other caregivers, grievers, debtors, or cancer victims with sharing the benefit of your experience and new-found expertise and wisdom!

You may be speaking or doing workshops and webinars to share your expertise. How many times, though, have you been told you should write a book on the subject? You know you want to; however, you don’t know where to begin or have the funds or the time to do so.

Let me help bring your knowledge and expertise out and into the world.

What if I told you I can get you into a book inexpensively (to the point of zero cost), using very little of your time?

I am seeking life-changers just like yourself to share the fix, the process, the checklist, the answer-to-all-questions between the covers of a book, “Courage Under Siege: Powerful Stories of Tribulation, Triumph, & Transcendence.”

This will be a game-, and maybe for a few of you, a life-changing event. Authenticate what you do best with your own words, and in print.

You experienced some awfully hard and difficult circumstances and events. There is no doubt about that. But you also experienced joy from them. Seriously, there is no gain without pain. There is no joy without the lowest of the lowest moments. God or whoever is your Spiritual Source, with his or her or its Infinite Wisdom planned that all who suffer will have peace; and after discovering that peace, you realized you acquired the tools and the knowledge to share your story in order to lessen the pain and hurt someone else is feeling.

As I speak with my colleagues in coaching and writing, they, too, have come to this very same conclusion: we are here on this earth to help our neighbor.

You are not alone. Know that you are loved, and you are held, if not by anyone else but me.

This in and of itself is why I do what I do. This is my BIG WHY.

Courage Under Siege is about YOU coming to the aid of your brothers and sisters on this Earth, easing their lot in life by teaching them, sharing with them, what you’ve learned.

It is truly my belief we are meant to share our story in all its glory—the mess, the sins, the desperation, the deep abyss fallen into, and then, with the same urgency, accountability, and truthfulness, how we rose out of the ashes, climbed out of the hole, saved our soul, and lived through it all to tell the entire gory, yet inspirational, story.

You know the importance of having a book, something you can produce on the spot to make you look professional, like you are an expert at what you do. Here’s your chance to do just that! AND to be a best-selling author to boot!

Being part of an anthology or compilation book, where there are multiple authors, took me to places I never imagined in my wildest dreams! I’ve “walked” the Red Carpets at the Oscars and Golden Globes. I have books in countries all over the world! I became a international best-selling author! You, too, can have that title, that coveted distinction!

Now, in reality, you may not be on the Red Carpet with this book. The thought, though, I invite you to entertain is that once you say “yes” to something, the places you go are unimaginable and more wild than you could ever dream!

I’ll share more later on how to reach best-selling status, but you must first:

• BELIEVE in yourself
• INVEST in yourself
• SHARE your SELF

If you already have a book of your own online or in a bookstore for sale, still give consideration to being in this one, too. The accolades and acknowledgment received when having two or more books with your name printed as a contributor in any shape or form is absolutely astonishing!  I am in multiple books using the anthology method, which gives me more than enough expert status of not only being a published writer and author, but as someone who knows how to publish! (My name is printed in those books, as well!)

If this will be your first time as a published author, the same accolades and acknowledgment go for you, too!

Plus, you can use the book to:

• get paid speaking engagements
• create your own workshops
• be interviewed by local media
• find strategic partners who can further advance your career
• share your story so another going through the same circumstance know they are not alone and can get help

Really, the benefits and possibilities are self-perpetuating.

Consider this opportunity as the steppingstone and springboard to launch a very successful career or small business venture.

Remember when I said that “you are not alone?”

I’ll be with you during the entire writing process.

To make the writing as easy as possible, I’ve created a template for you to follow. Inside you’ll find space to:

• hone your overall message
• share your back story
• develop the main event (the meat of your story)
• complete the chapter, perhaps with a call to action for the reader
• let people know how to reach you (short bio)

Use the template each time you want to write any piece; a blog, LinkedIn posts, a chapter for another book; several chapters for your own book.

The template is based on 3,000 words, which is the maximum word count for each chapter of this book. The minimum word count is 2,500. That may seem like a lot of words to you, but once you use the template, you’ll see how easy and quickly you can put your chapter together. I have every confidence in you!

Once your book companions (aka, the other authors) are in place, as described in the tentative timeline section, I’ll schedule a call to answer any questions you may have.

The earlier you register the earlier you will receive support. I have a few fun and helpful surprises planned!

I have over 30 books to my credit, by solely writing them, contributing chapters, quoted and acknowledged in, or featured on the front cover. There are also works I’m associated with that I can’t tell you about, because I had either been a ghostwriter for the book or only provided files for Kindle upload.

Also, of that +30, I published a few for my book collaborators (I have no clients!) via Amazon, using Kindle Direct Publishing and IngramSpark open-sourced software applications.

Expect those two applications to be used in publishing Courage Under Siege. I will also use open-source web applications to reach even more readers who use a Nook, iBook, or other device to satisfy their ebook appetite.

Your words of wisdom will be devoured world-wide with any e-reader!

It is my commitment, if you click one of the buttons at the bottom of this page, that you will have access to every resource I possess to ensure your writing experience will be enjoyable, stimulating, productive, and profitable. Can I absolutely guarantee that? Well, no. But I’ll do the best I can. However, a lot depends on you, too!

We are in this together. I have no clients, only collaborators! The work we do is together—me and you. We have the same goal: for you to be a published author and gain the notoriety and lifestyle you deserve!

NEW FEATURES – Social Media Marketing Campaigns & Author Video Spotlights!

*You may have noticed that the print version is launched at a later date. The method of my madness is to announce then that the book is a best-seller on Amazon Kindle. This will all be explained in the marketing session.

BONUS: If you are paying in full, you will RECEIVE TEN (10) PAPERBACK COPIES at no extra cost when they become available*! My gift to you in gratitude.

If you sign on to be published in this book, you can purchase physical book copies at the author’s rate once they become available. Note that a small shipping fee may also be assessed.

What if I’m the only one who signs up as a contributor for the book?

I’m certain you will not be alone in this project! But if circumstances occur where there are not enough writers (that is, at least 7) to make this a good-sized book, we will discuss options on how you can be the author of your very own book! The idea is to get your words of wisdom out and into the world!

What if there is an overflow of contributors?

If there are, say, more than 20 contributors, then the overflow will either go into a subsequent book and published at a later date or you as the author will have the option to get published separately, as stated above. Submission publication will be determined by the chronological order of initial program purchase.

What if I miss the deadline to submit my chapter?

Wiggle room has been built into the timeline for small interruptions. However, if the delay is too long, it is quite possible your chapter may not be included in the book. If you feel you won’t make the appointed deadline, please contact me.

Is the book title finalized?

The title, yes. The subtitle, no. The contributing authors may have a say in the final title.

What if I change my mind and don’t want to be in the book after it goes for publishing?

I don’t anticipate that happening, but if it does, we will work on a mutual settlement.

How soon will I get my printed books that were part of the pay-in-full incentive?

Expect 2-4 weeks.

Am I expected to help with marketing?

Yes, but it is not required. And yet, we, as a group, would want to see this book become a best seller! Therefore, I will have easy to follow instructions on how to share the ebook launch on social media sites.

How can you be reached if I have more questions?

Email me here: peggylee at courageouswomenpublications.biz

Will there be an Author’s Corner or another place where I can share my business information?

Yes. You will have a space designated just for you. Here you will be able to share your photo or another image to show readers who you are and what you have to offer.

Why would I want to participate in this anthology? What’s in it for me?

Getting exposure for you and your business, in any form, is wise. You don’t have to stop at one book—the one you wrote as a solo author, nor the one you already submitted a chapter to. Each anthology has a different theme or purpose. I bet for each compilation book out there, you have a story that could have been told, too.

If you’re sitting on the fence, wondering if this is a good fit, the right time, how you can monetize your story, and any other question you may have before you make the commitment, you can email me. I’ll get back to you within 24-48 hours.

As previously mentioned, it is my intention to make this process an easy and valuable one for you. Your next step is to click on the banner below that says, “I’m IN!” to get started on your journey today.

---

Imagine it! A book that has your story, your words, your wisdom and shared on “National [theme-name] Day”!

It’s a cause for CELEBRATION!

C’mon! You know in your heart this is something you want to do!

Remember, you won’t be alone and you will be held and guided throughout the entire process. You have my word.
