You are invited to share YOUR story
The RESILIENT A.F.: Skin Deep Stories series is a collection of tattoos, scars and the stories that shaped them. These are the marks people chose when life carved something unforgettable into them. Ink and scars as identity. Ink and scars as truth. Ink and scars as survival. Telling your story can be a powerful part of your healing journey, and The Global Resilience Project creates a safe space for people to share and read stories of resilience. Reading other people’s stories when going through a tough time can inspire you to move through your challenge and feel less alone. The powerful stories told in this book series may even inspire your next tattoo.
Our first book in our series, RESILIENT A.F. Skin Deep Stories, launches December 6, 2025. If you want to be one of the 30 tattoo or scar stories told in our next, please join the waitlist.

Great question. Publishing a book takes a lot of time and resources. We have a team of people who are bringing this book to life and this helps to compensate everyone.
Every author will recieve a social media graphic package and swipe copy to use to promote the book. There will be a Facebook Group and private membership portal with detailed instructions and support. The GRP’s team will run social media advertisements, a PR campaign (which includes putting you on a billboard in Times Square, New York City) and implement other tools to help get the word out.
There are no guarantees, but all of the books that Blair has published have become best sellers. The more we promote the book, the better the chance we have at becoming a best seller. If we become a best selling book that makes you a best selling author.
