The Sovereign Series is a literary movement.
It’s a reclamation of voice.
A gathering place for men and women who have lived, lost, rebelled, rebuilt, remembered, and risen.

Volume 5 will continue this legacy, amplifying the stories of those who are no longer waiting for permission to speak, lead, or live in their full truth. If you’ve walked your own unconventional path, broken free from societal moulds, healed in private, spoken up when it was hard, or chosen a life that reflects your deepest knowing, we want to hear from you.

Your Lead Author: Ashley Correia

Ashley is a Canadian mom, and wife navigating this ever-changing world and figuring out the best way to raise her two beautiful boys. Although fear almost took her life, with a lot of help, and even more personal work, she embarked on a journey to sovereignty. She left her overachieving, people-pleasing, perfectionist self behind. Now she is a woman, with an abundance of belief, who is letting life unfold for her and her family upon the values of love, curiosity and communication! Ashley has been teaching primary aged children for 12 years in a large public board in Ontario. Most of her career was spent teaching Kindergarten, ages 4-6. This is where her heart lies and her light shines. Ashley also has a degree in Psychology (University of Western Ontario) and a Masters degree in Teaching (OISE, University of Toronto). Right now, Ashley is adventuring around Canada in her family trailer, making the best memories after a challenging few years, while also scoping out where to set roots for her family. You will find her bike riding, writing, doing yoga, floating in the ocean or lake, and going on daily adventures with her family.

Follow Ashley on instagram @curiouslyconnected.co for her honest reflection on raising a family in this current Canada and to see where the next chapter leads her sovereign family in this weird and wonderful world.

Our Co-authorship Program

Writing Support

Through our writing program, you will receive support from your lead author throughout our 9-week writing cycle. As well, our robust author resources kit provides you with in depth support when it comes to defining your writing style, establishing your story, what to include, what not to include, writing timelines, depth & more.

Community

Most of our authors come into these projects expecting to simply write their story and become a published author. Yet most leave this process with unexpected new friends, and connections. Writing is an intimate experience, and you're in good company with other women. Connect in our group channel, and online during our monthly group support calls.

Full Production

We take care of absolutely everything. Manuscript development. Editing. Proofreading. Interior design. Typesetting. Cover design. Marketing graphics. Marketing, branding & PR training, and launch support. We provide self-publishing services, with traditional publishing value.

Project Timeline (6 months)

Project Preparation - This includes establishing the project concept, selecting a lead author, preparing all launch materials, establishing production timelines, application & onboarding.

Writing Phase - This includes a brainstorming, first-draft and final-draft phase. Within this period is where our co-authors will also receive support from the lead author, leverage our writing resources & tools, and join our monthly group support calls.

Design - Our design phase is where the cover and interior design concepts are established.

Manuscript - Once the writing process has been completed, the lead author compiles the manuscript to submit to the publishing house.

Production Cycle - During this period, the editing process is completed, followed by the implementation of design, proofreading & total review.

Final Approvals - Co-authors have a chance to sign off on their chapters, and address any minor changes that may need to be made. Followed by the formal publishing house sign off process.

Amazon Upload - The book is then uploaded to Amazon, set with the official live date as per the book's scheduled launch date.

Launch - The book is formally launched on Amazon, with a celebratory kick-off call for authors to invite their friends and family to. There is a strong focus on the launch for a period of 72 hours to climb the charts on Amazon across relative categories.

Post-Launch Debrief - The publishing house team, production team and lead author meet to discuss the project, identifying both successes to celebrate, and opportunities to continue to refine the process for future projects.

All authors have full visibility of the approved timeline for each stage.
