When life changes in an instant, what you do next changes everything.

NOW WHAT? is a collaborative anthology curated by Brian P. Swift, JD and published by IrisBlu Publishing, bringing together people with powerful stories of challenge, change, resilience, and what they chose to create next.

The project will feature an inspiring group of co-authors, including David Meltzer and Wayne Messmer, while helping raise funds and awareness for Swift Outdoor Accessible Recreation (SOAR).

What's Your “Now What?” Story?

A loss. An injury. A diagnosis. A career change. A failure. An unexpected decision. A moment when the life you knew suddenly changed.

The circumstances are different.

The question is universal:

Now what?

We're looking for co-authors willing to share not only what happened, but what they did next—and the lessons, perspective, and possibilities that came from it.

More Than a Book

We're not waiting until the book launches to create visibility around the people inside it.

Participating authors will be part of a collaborative publishing + multimedia visibility experience designed to build authority, relationships, media exposure, and opportunities before, during, and after publication.

That includes professional publishing support, an individual visibility strategy, Creator Hub presence, KPHRED media exposure, author roundtables, collaborative visibility opportunities, media assets, six months inside Economy Creators, and launch and post-launch support.
