Trelexa Calls on Aspiring Authors to Rethink the All-or-Nothing Book Mentality

Entrepreneurs and first-time authors often stall before they start. Trelexa offers a quieter suggestion: maybe you don’t have to write it all alone.

IRVINE, CA, UNITED STATES, June 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- For many entrepreneurs, there’s a book inside them—or at least the beginning of one.

A story they’ve lived. A framework they’ve developed. A message they feel pulled to share. But year after year, the idea sits untouched in a drafts folder or rattles around in their head, always waiting for the “right time” that never quite comes.

It’s not a lack of ideas that holds them back. It’s the weight of what a book has come to represent: a complete, polished, solo accomplishment. The pressure to do it all, alone, from start to finish, often prevents people from even starting at all.

Trelexa, a platform focused on helping entrepreneurs build public authority, is encouraging aspiring authors to challenge this assumption. In a new statement, the company is advocating for a shift in how we define authorship—not as an all-or-nothing endeavor, but as something collaborative, contributive, and achievable.

The hidden weight behind solo authorship
Books have long been symbols of expertise, permanence, and credibility. In business circles especially, publishing a book often becomes a milestone; proof that someone is ready to be taken seriously.

But with that prestige comes a heavy sense of expectation.

“You’d be amazed how many times we hear someone say, ‘I’ve been meaning to write my book for years,’” says Sam Sammane, founder and CEO of Trelexa. “They’ve probably already given the keynote, built the product, mentored the team. But the idea of turning that into a 200-page solo book just feels impossible.”

It’s not just time or talent that stops them. It’s the idea that a book must be authored alone to be legitimate. That unless you carry every chapter, research every point, and pen every word yourself, your voice doesn’t count.

That mindset, Sammane argues, is outdated and deeply limiting.

Trelexa’s quiet proposal: Start smaller. Start together.
Rather than asking people to take on the daunting task of writing an entire book, Trelexa is encouraging a shift in perspective. What if you didn’t have to carry the whole message alone? What if a single chapter, essay, or section could still be meaningful?

Trelexa sees co-authoring not as a shortcut, but as a legitimate and increasingly relevant model, especially for entrepreneurs and business leaders who have something to say, but not the bandwidth to say all of it at once.

“Too often, people wait for perfect conditions—time, clarity, energy, structure—to write a full book. But those conditions rarely come,” says Sammane. “We want to normalize the idea that contributing one strong chapter alongside others is still real authorship. Still real impact.”

Co-authoring, in this light, becomes a way to enter the conversation sooner, without the all-or-nothing stakes of writing a book solo. It’s not about lowering the bar—it’s about opening more doors.

Why co-authoring isn’t a shortcut but a shift in mindset
Trelexa is aware that co-authoring carries its own baggage. It’s sometimes viewed as less legitimate than solo authorship: a stepping stone, or even a vanity play. But that perception, Sammane says, misses the bigger picture.

“Let’s stop pretending that value only comes in full volume,” he says. “We don’t ask musicians to play every instrument on their album to be taken seriously. Why should we expect every author to write every chapter on their own?”

Collaboration is the norm in many creative and intellectual spaces. Academic journals, screenplays, editorials, even thought leadership platforms like Harvard Business Review frequently feature co-authors. The business world is no exception—books written by teams, pairs, or communities have shaped industries and movements.

The difference, according to Trelexa, is how we frame the contribution.

“Co-authoring is not the absence of effort. It’s the presence of shared vision,” Sammane explains. “It’s saying, I have something valuable to offer and I don’t need to wait until I can carry it all alone to share it.”

A voice in a larger conversation
The company, which specializes in helping individuals grow public credibility through podcasts, press, and collaborative storytelling, sees co-authoring as a natural extension of what it already believes: that expertise doesn’t always have to be delivered solo to be taken seriously.

“We’re not saying don’t write your own book someday,” Sammane clarifies. “We’re saying don’t let the idea of that perfect, future book keep you from writing anything now.”

For first-time authors, Trelexa sees co-authoring as a safer entry point. For entrepreneurs managing businesses, families, and bandwidth, it’s a more manageable creative commitment. For professionals who’ve never considered themselves “writers,” it can be a way to test the waters without drowning.
