The Trilogy
Three connected books with distinct media and publishing angles
Each title may be considered independently, while the complete series follows the movement: remember the light, tend the fire, open the sky.
Light Up The Darkness: A Fluorescent Awakening
Available now · EbookISBNs: Ebook 979-8-2409-4004-0 · Softcover 979-8-2409-3440-7 · Hardcover 979-8-2409-3650-0.
A six-day annual reader created specifically to be read during Diwali. Media angles include annual return, inner illumination, light over darkness, and reflective reading during a living festival tradition.

A contemplative work about spiritual warmth, attention, reverence, boundaries, discipline, modern overstimulation, and the repeated acts that keep the inner life inhabited.
Media angles include the difference between brightness and warmth, soul-tending, the overlit age, and the recovery of a human-scale inner life.
We Were Never Alone: Awakening for a Larger World
Available now · EbookISBNs: Ebook 979-8-2561-3142-5 · Softcover 979-8-2409-5974-5 · Hardcover 979-8-2409-7355-0.
A spiritual-philosophical work about humanity’s response to a wider reality through discernment, humility, dignity, responsibility, and cultural preparation.
It does not present itself as scientific proof of extraterrestrial visitation. Media angles include disclosure without spectacle, ontological shock, contact without worship, and a responsible larger-world ethic.
Media & Editorial Resources
Written materials available for focused coverage
Requests are considered according to relevance, publication context, deadline, subject, and the specificity of the proposed coverage.
Book and trilogy information
Request concise descriptions, series context, author and publisher background, approved cover images, public-preview links, and topic-specific notes.
Prepared comments or selected Q&A
Submit focused written questions. A prepared statement or written exchange may be considered when the subject and publication are a good fit.
No favorable coverage is required
Review and editorial judgment remain independent. Materials are provided for consideration and do not require praise, endorsement, or a particular conclusion.
Rights, Licensing & Publishing
Submit a specific business proposal rather than a general expression of interest
An inquiry does not imply that a right is available, offered, reserved, or approved. Include the intended format, territory, language, term, organization, and commercial context.
Translation and regional publishing
Inquiries may address a specific language, country, territory, edition, or distribution relationship. Identify the proposed market and publishing capability.
Audio, large print, accessible, and special editions
Describe the intended format, production plan, audience, territory, and whether the request concerns licensing, co-publishing, or another arrangement.
Reprint, anthology, educational, and quotation permissions
Identify the exact passage, word count, source title, intended publication, audience, print or digital use, territory, language, and planned publication date.
Film, television, documentary, audio, and other media
Provide the production company, decision-maker, intended use, rights requested, project status, financing context, and relevant professional credits.
Wholesale, institutional, international, and specialty channels
The trilogy is sold directly to readers through Follow The Symbol Publishing’s website and is also distributed through participating booksellers. For wholesale, institutional, international, or specialty-channel proposals, describe the market, estimated quantity, channel, geography, timing, and whether the inquiry concerns supply, distribution, licensing, or partnership.
Co-editions, licensed editions, and strategic proposals
Include the organization’s publishing history, proposed contribution, commercial structure, decision timeline, and the specific title or series involved.
Editorial Angles
Possible starting points for serious coverage
These are topic directions rather than required narratives. Journalists and editors retain independent judgment.
An English-language annual reader created specifically for Diwali
Explore what it means to write a reflective book for yearly Diwali reading while respecting the festival’s diverse living traditions.
Why an overlit age may still feel spiritually cold
Consider the difference between visibility and warmth, stimulation and presence, brightness and the hearth of the inner life.
Disclosure without spectacle
Examine how larger-world possibilities might be approached through discernment, dignity, institutional responsibility, and cultural preparation.
A trilogy that moves from light to fire to a larger world
Follow the series architecture from inward remembrance, to sustained spiritual practice, to a widened human horizon.
A book-centered author platform without live appearances
Consider a publishing model built around written essays, written Q&A, reader resources, and the work itself rather than public personality.
Annual return as a reading practice
Explore why the same text can become different when the reader returns after another year of experience, loss, growth, and change.
Why Written Responses Only
The books remain at the center of the public work
T.P. Blakewell does not participate in live, recorded, video, podcast, telephone, or voice interviews. This is an intentional choice to keep the focus on the books, their ideas, and each reader’s own experience rather than on the author as a public personality.
Selected written question-and-answer exchanges may be considered because they allow thoughtful questions to be answered carefully while preserving this book-centered approach. All questions and responses must remain in writing, and participation is not guaranteed.
Events, classes, library programs, festivals, panels, and discussions may use prepared written statements, facilitator resources, preview excerpts, book-club materials, or a locally read written response.
Media & Publisher Inquiry Form
