Warner is a publishing expert who brings to this book her thirteen

Green-Light Your Book is a straight-shooting guide to a changing
industry. Written for aspiring authors, previously published
authors, and independent publishers, it explains the ever-shifting
publishing landscape and helps indie authors understand that
they're up against the status quo, and how to work within the
system but also how to subvert the system in order to succeed.
Publishing expert and independent publisher Brooke Warner is
fearless in her critique of an industry that's lost its mandate,
and in so doing has opened the door wide for indie publishers to
thrive. While she does not shy away from calling out the bias
against indie authors, she also asserts that it's never been a more
exciting time to be in book publishing-and her passion and
enthusiasm are contagious. "If you're going to green-light your
work, you have to wow," Warner writes. But to surpass expectations,
you also need to be a student of publishing and to be able to hold
your own with book buyers, event coordinators, librarians,
wholesalers, distributors, and reviewers. Green-Light Your Book
seeks to equip authors and publishers with the language, knowledge,
and skill sets they need to play big.
"Three Minus One: Parents' Stories of Love and Loss" is a
collection of intimate, soul-baring stories and artwork by parents
who have lost a child to stillbirth, miscarriage, or neonatal
death, inspired by the film "Return to Zero."
The loss of a child is unlike any other, and the impact that it has
on the mother, the father, their family, and their friends is
devastating--a shockwave of pain and guilt that spreads through
their entire community. But the majority of those affected,
especially mothers, often suffer their pain in silence, convinced
that their grief and trauma is theirs to bear alone. This anthology
of raw memoirs, heartbreaking stories, truthful poems, beautiful
painting, and stunning photography from the parents who have
suffered child loss offers insight into this unique, devastating
and life-changing experience--breaking the silence and offering a
ray of hope to the many parents out there in search of answers,
understanding, and healing.

There are more outlets than ever for writers to spread their
messages and share their work, more opportunities to speak out and
be seen. Writers expose themselves freely and willingly in a way
that would have been unfathomable fifty years ago, and more people
than ever are writing and publishing. Men and women are writing
with equal fervor and commitment to their message and craft. As a
result, it’s easy to assume, or hope, that the gendered playing
field is a thing of the past, too. Unfortunately for women writers,
it’s not. Knowing what we’re up against and how to fight back
is the heart and soul of Write On, Sisters! Inside these pages,
Brooke Warner draws upon research, anecdotes, and her personal
experiences from twenty years in the book publishing industry to
show how women’s writing is discounted or less valued than
men’s writing, then provides support to overcome these
challenges. This book also shines light on how women writers face
not only ever-present historical and social challenges but also
their own self-limiting beliefs. Write On, Sisters! is for every
woman writer ready to be done with all that, and who’s ready for
the next revolution.
