REAL PEOPLE. REAL STORIES. REAL LIFE.

One thing I've learned is everyone has a story.

​

Something you’ve lived through. Something you’ve learned. Something that changed you, challenged you, surprised you, or helped you see life a little differently.

​

At GET REAL ABOUT™, we believe some of the most meaningful lessons come from people who have actually been there.

That’s why our books are built around real conversations, real experiences, and real people willing to GET REAL about the things life throws our way.

WANT TO BE PART OF AN UPCOMING BOOK?

We are currently interviewing people and collecting stories for upcoming GET REAL ABOUT™ book projects, and we would love to hear from you regarding the following projects: 

​

• DIVORCE & STARTING OVER

          The heartbreak, lessons, mistakes, victories, unexpected moments, and new

          beginnings that come with ending one chapter and figuring out what comes next.

​

​

• AGING PARENTS & CAREGIVING

          The realities of caring for the people who once cared for us, including changing roles,

          difficult decisions, family dynamics, love, laughter, exhaustion, anticipatory grief, and

          everything in between.

​

• HOPE

          Stories of resilience, second chances, unexpected kindness, starting over, and the

          people or moments that reminded you to keep going when life got hard.

• HEALTH & WELLNESS

          Real experiences with taking care of ourselves, navigating health challenges,

          making changes, getting older, and discovering what being healthy and feeling well really mean.

​

• MARRIAGE & RELATIONSHIPS

          The good, the hard, the hilarious, the complicated, and the things we learn from building a life

          with another person. What worked? What didn't? What do you wish you'd known?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A WRITER.

You don't need the perfect words. You don't need to have all the answers. And you definitely don't need to have life completely figured out. You just need to be willing to GET REAL.

​

Choose a project above and complete our questionnaire. Tell us what happened, what you learned, what helped, what didn't, and what you wish someone had told you along the way. Your experience could help shape an upcoming GET REAL ABOUT™ book and, perhaps, help someone else navigating a similar chapter of life. Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can hear is: "Me too."
