An anthology series for faith-driven and purpose-driven leaders
You know your story could help someone. You may even dream of writing a book someday, but a whole manuscript feels like too much right now. The Called Collection lets you start with one chapter, written with personal coaching from Clara Rose and published alongside other purpose-driven leaders under the RoseDale Publishing imprint.
Your chapter moves through four stages over about 4–6 months, using the same proven process behind 50+ authors and their published books. This is the anthology process reimagined!
Discover · Shape · Plan
We start with private coaching to uncover the story you're meant to tell, who it's for, and how your chapter will invite readers to connect with you. Together we will discover, shape, and plan!
Draft · Guidance · Accountability
You write your 1,500–3,000 word chapter with guidance along the way, so you're never stuck staring at a blank page. You are never left to figure it out alone!
Refine · Strengthen · Polish
Full developmental editing shapes your chapter so it moves readers and still sounds like you. YOUR voice matters so we work hard to capture your personal prose!
Publish · Share · Connect
Your chapter is published under the RoseDale Publishing imprint in The Called Collection series, and you share it with your launch kit, your podcast feature, and your author directory listing.
One chapter. Your story. A message that keeps reaching the people you're called to serve.
Is this you?
You've lived through something that shaped who you are and how you serve. You want your story to encourage someone who needs to hear it. You feel called to write, but you're not ready to commit to a full book.
If you nodded along, the story you are called to share may belong in The Called Collection.
Guidance, not guesswork
Most anthologies ask you to send in 2,000 words and hope for the best. Here, you're coached. Clara Rose works with you to find the story you're meant to tell and shape it into a chapter that moves readers.
Developmental editing is built in, so your chapter is excellent and still sounds like you. It's a real taste of what it's like to write with Clara Rose.
Long after launch day
Your chapter ends with a clear invitation for readers to connect with you. You'll receive a launch kit with ready-to-post captions, email copy, and pull-quote graphics from your own chapter.
You'll also be a featured guest on Clara Rose's podcast and listed in our author directory, so your story keeps reaching new people.

Each volume is curated so every story fits the collection. The first step is a short application and a 30-minute Story Fit Call with Clara Rose. We'll talk about your story, your goals, and which volume is the right home for it.
This is my 7th book, and I can tell you with certainty that Clara delivers above and beyond any coach/publisher I have ever worked with. I have two more projects in my head and I will ask Clara to help me with both of these.Â
My book, Flourish Forward, became more than I imagined because Clara gave more than was required.
I was a little bit lost in the writing forest and unsure of my next steps. I'm sure I would still be spinning my wheels without Clara's help. She provided confidence, encouragement, and brilliant ideas, making the writing journey something I looked forward to and enjoyed.Â
Clara Rose quickly grasped my vision and guided me with grace, helping me set realistic timelines. I will forever be grateful for Clara Rose.
Clara made the process for publishing my first book very easy to follow, structured, yet flexible. I needed competence but also compassion as I figured it out.
If you are looking for a publisher who can make the process painless and even enjoyable, I encourage you to work with Clara Rose and RoseDale Publishing.
When I first hired Clara I was looking for some guidance to get my book ready for publishing, but I soon discovered she had so much more to offer me. Her wisdom and guidance was exactly what I needed to get my book published.
After working with Clara Rose on multiple projects now, I highly encourage anyone on a writing journey to work with her.Â
I've walked alongside 50+ purpose-driven authors, and I've seen what happens when a called leader finally shares their story. It encourages readers, opens doors, and often becomes the first step toward a book of their own. Your chapter could be that first step.

No. Many of our authors are first-time writers. Coaching and editing are built in so you're guided every step of the way.
Chapters are 1,500–3,000 words, about the length of a long blog post or a short talk.
Each volume runs about 4–6 months. You'll receive your volume's exact dates and deadlines at your first coaching session.
In 30 minutes, we'll talk about the story you feel called to share, who you hope will read it, and whether this volume is the right fit. You'll leave knowing your next step.
Yes. You keep the copyright to your chapter and can reuse it in your own marketing. You can read the full Author Terms anytime.
The Called Collection is designed to share your message and connect you with readers rather than to earn royalties, so authors don't receive royalties from book sales.
Wonderful. Alumni receive special perks on future volumes and full-book projects with Clara Rose.
