Permission Granted
Girl, F*ck This provides a tangible path to authentic and courageous leadership for women, via journal prompts and personal reflective work to create your own rules.
Ended
Mental health is quickly becoming less of a taboo topic and more of real concern, due to world cultural riots, manifestations, isolation, unemployment, suffering economies …. the system's are crumbling around the pandemic. From which, womxn are the most affected ones. The reality is that as womxn continue to climb social ranks, they continue to deal with multiple traumas surrounding sexual abuse, physical abuse, post-partum trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even addiction. The real problem womxn are facing is the repression and invisible shackles we keep on ourselves due to the stigma of weakness our cultural and social heritage promotes. We are avoiding the inner and outer roadblocks within oursleves, which lead to a recession in all manners.
During the author's time in service in the United States Navy, a decade of serving the transitioning military community, and as the President & Founder at The Paradigm Switch, the author saw herself and other womxn struggling in key areas day in and day out. She found that her experiences were very common and that she wasn’t alone in her "secret" feelings. The more she encouraged vulnerable and honest conversations with womxn she worked with, the more she discovered how they were struggling with the same things as her.
“Girl, F*ck This” will provide a tangible path toward the author's vision of authentic and courageous leadership. This book will help womxn to create their own rules, provide permission for them to stop living their life for others, face their own roadblocks, and accept permission to stop participating in destructive behavior. Each chapter the author will highligh a collection of personal experiences as an opportunity for the reader to relate to. At the end of each chapter, the author will provide an invitation for the reader to participate in journal prompts and healing personal reflective work. If you purchase, read, and participate in the activities in this book you may find the courage to slow down, trust yourself, forgive yourself, and or begin to build a life that serves you as much as you serve everyone else.
The author is a Navy veteran, military spouse, and social entrepreneur who is no stranger to overcoming obstacles and finding the courage to create a better way forward for those after her. Currently, she is serving as the Founder & CEO of Courage to Create which teaches womxn, entrepreneurs, artists, and executive-level leaders how to trust their instincts and embody their creativity. In her spare time she serves as the President & Founder of The Paradigm Switch; a global non-profit that teaches military spouses how to design a life they can take anywhere in the world. There she leads and manages a volunteer team of 15 people in 8 different time zones and a global network of 2,000 military spouses (92% women) from around the globe.

Women in Recovery, Survivors of Abuse, Mothers, Modern Days Femenist, Women in Leadership, Artists, Creators, and Entrepreneurs. As a second target audience, even if the target of this book and the core itself is focused on women, it is important to also encourage men to read the book to put themselves in our shoes and gain a new perspective for half of the population in this world.

Identifying a problem or gap is easy, creating a solution, and implementing it is what separates the wheat from the chaff. Few have the ability to do this successfully. Justine has a proven record of success and more importantly, has demonstrated the grit necessary to overcome hardship.”

“Justine is willing to break down the walls others have built-in society, in corporate culture, and around themselves. She's not afraid to challenge and dig deeper into the root of a belief or perspective, and uses her creativity and voice to form an emotional, human connection.”
- Nikki Zellner James, Founder of Where Content Connects.
“You came up with the idea for The Paradigm Switch and built a global community from scratch. You drew from your own emotional personal experience and saw the deep need in the worldwide network of military spouses and acted decisively. What I admire most about the organization you built is not only the practical services that The Paradigm Switch provides but more importantly the inspiration and support that you knew military spouses need to become the change that they always knew they had innately within them.”
- Dan Kanivas, Managing Partner, Triple Summit Advisors & Board Member at The Paradigm Switch

Brandylane is a small, independent press, founded in 1985, that publishes fiction, non-fiction, poetry, memoir, and children’s books. We publish under a traditional arrangement and also offer a cooperative track for emerging authors. We believe that books make a difference, that lives and the world are changed by the power of words and images, and that large publishing houses neglect a wealth of good writing. We are not looking for mainstream read-it-before self-help.
Under our cooperative arrangement, we invest a portion of the publishing costs and offer a stepped royalty structure from 30% to 60%--higher than the industry average. One distinguishing feature of our program is that our marketing effort includes a one-year launch, followed by two additional years of promotion through our social media, website, our seasonal genre, and subject matter email campaigns, and continuous support from our PR team.

Cranthorpe Millner operates a hybrid publishing model. This means, should an author pass our editors’ strict filtering system, we can offer different kinds of agreements depending on the author and the manuscript. With some authors, we work under a ‘traditional’ model, whereby we cover the full cost of publication and the author is offered industry-standard royalties (8-10%). To some authors, we offer what we call a partnership or contributory agreement, whereby the author is asked for a financial contribution so that we may share the risk and enter into a partnership together to publish the author’s book. In this case, the author receives around 60-75% royalties.

Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript; finally, it's ready to release. You know that expert assistance is needed, but perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a market-ready book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in your name. This means you earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty.”
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. That's why we offer a range of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices. Depending on your manuscript's word count and complexity, our packages range from $4,000 to $10,000. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of net revenue from book sales goes directly to you, never to us.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
1106 Design has been in business since 2001 and is rated A+ by the Better Business Bureau. We are a “Highly Recommended Expert” at IngramSpark.com and rated "Excellent" at Alli, The Alliance for Independent Authors, at SelfPublishingAdvice.org, where you can find a "watchdog list" of the best and worst publishing services companies.
How can we serve you today?
Sincerely,
Michele DeFilippo, owner
