IN THE NEWS:
ARE YOU READY TO SHARE YOUR STORY OF RESILIENCE WITH THE WORLD?
You are officially invited to be a part of The Global Resilience Project’s 5th book, RESILIENT A.F.: Stories of Resilience Volume 3, which will be published in December 2025. If you are interested, you can secure your spot in the book by clicking on any of the green buttons on this page.
The Global Resilience Project Book (The GRP Book) and RESILIENT A.F.: Stories of Resilience Volume are collections of written stories of resilience from around the world. Telling your story can be a powerful part of your healing journey, and we created a safe space for people to share, read and listen to stories of resilience. Once you have bounced forward from a challenging experience, sharing your story can be a healing tool.
When going through a tough time, it’s helpful to read other people’s stories because they can inspire you to move through your challenge and feel less alone. The Global Resilience Project is empowering the world to heal through our books, online community, the Radical Resilience podcast and by sharing our message with everyone who will listen. It’s okay to not be okay and remember that you are not alone. We are here for you, and you are resilient.
Everyone deserves to tell their story and that is why we exist.
*space is limited for this book and there is a nominal fee associated.
Why share YOUR story?
To help others be resilient
Sharing your story may help you heal further. Your story might help someone who is going through a similar challenge to navigate their way through it.
To become a published author
Have you ever dreamed of writing a book or becoming a published author? Being a coauthor is a great way to get your inspirational words and name out into the world. This is a great experience for you to see if this is a path you want to explore further while watching Blair + Alana build out their book.
To be a part of a global movement
What started as a legacy project has turned into a global movement. With story submissions from around the world, we have a worldwide reach of empowerment and inspiration. All it takes is one person who needs to hear your story to make a difference. What if your story could change the trajectory of someone else’s life? The GRP team not only sells their books around the world but they are on stages and screens and podcasts globally, too.

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.
No, you do not make any money directly from book sales. You can leverage your status as a coauthor to help bring awareness to you and your business, if you wish.
Yes and no. Once you decide you want to be in the book and submit your payment, you will be directed to a form to fill out. This is where you will tell your story. There will be prompts that guide you on what to share. Our team will then edit your story for spelling, grammar and flow.
Yes, you will be sent a draft to review and approve before the book goes to print. You will be sent instructions and will have to approve it within a specific timeline.
