Frances Trejo attended last week’s Ready, Set, Publish Virtual Summit.
Here is what she had to share about it:
I have always wanted to write in publish. We’re talking late since I was in my 20s. I’m about to turn 50 in February in 2022 and I’m going to publish a story in a book collaboration. This is a lifelong dream. But the idea of writing a manuscript and sending it to a bunch of faceless publishing companies felt wrong somehow. The power dynamic is so off in that scenario. Not to mention that writing felt like a lonely proposition. Who wants to do that? Having to work alone for years and then produce something brilliant seemed daunting. Publishing was this mysterious, nebulous, scary monolith. And a party only certain exclusive people were invited to.
“Ready, Set, Publish” gave me a clear look behind the curtain to the nuts & bolts at how the publishing process works. And it isn’t so scary anymore.
Oh, believe me, it is work, it’s going to be lots of work, and time. But I don’t have to walk through it alone anymore. I have the wisdom of a strong group of wise sisters sharing their knowledge & experience. And you know what? This supportive publishing process leaves room for collaboration, fun & ease! Remember fun??
I need to also say, publishing this way goes beyond just putting a book in the world.
Writing alone brings up your blocks and disempowering stories. And you grow from removing them.
I have faced & removed some big disempowering stories that have held me back for YEARS.
I have enough time to do the things I value and write a book. I can silence my inner critic and I can write 
. I can publish a book and discover, create & step into what is next for me and make money!! That is so liberating. It is gorgeous! My life feels juicy again.
This process is transformational itself!
It’s worth the leap!
Thank you!
