Publish Her, a female-founded and focused publisher dedicated to elevating the words, stories and writing of women, announces the launch of its first book, an anthology of women’s essays, “Her Path Forward: 21 Stories of Transformation and Inspiration”, edited by Julie Burton and Chris Olsen.
About the Book
Whether by chance or by choice or by sheer necessity, women go through the process of transformation many times throughout their personal and professional lives. Sometimes the transformation journey is tumultuous and painful. A woman may be cracked wide open and stretched in ways she never imagined. Other times, change happens slowly over time. One day she seems to emerge anew without fully grasping—at least in the moment—what it took to get there. “Her Path Forward” is an anthology that shares the various perspectives of 21 women navigating change and the path forward. A shared passion for elevating the words and writing of women brought Chris Olsen and Julie Burton together for this anthology project.
