React redux thunk return dispatch not called - reactjs

Question

I am developing a web application which I would like to use react redux. but my app is not dispatching. If I want to careate a new project and send request to action to dispatch it does not dispatch.
class CreateProject extends Component {
state = {
title: '',
content: ''
}
handleChange = (e) => {
this.setState({
[e.target.id]: e.target.value
})
}
handleSubmit = (e) => {
e.preventDefault();
// console.log(this.state);
this.props.createProject(this.state);
}
render() {
return (
<div className="container">
<form className="white" onSubmit={this.handleSubmit}>
<h5 className="grey-text text-darken-3">Create a New Project</h5>
<div className="input-field">
<input type="text" id='title' onChange={this.handleChange} />
<label htmlFor="title">Project Title</label>
</div>
<div className="input-field">
<textarea id="content" className="materialize-textarea" onChange={this.handleChange}></textarea>
<label htmlFor="content">Project Content</label>
</div>
<div className="input-field">
<button className="btn pink lighten-1">Create</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
)
}
Projectreducer.js
const projectReducer = (state = initState, action) => {
switch (action.type) {
case 'CREATE_PROJECT':
console.log('create project', action.project);
return state;
case 'CREATE_PROJECT_ERROR':
console.log('çreate project error', action.err);
return state;
default:
return state;
}
};
export default projectReducer;
I have consoled on the function on project action is show the item on the console.
When I try consule of the return statement nothing happens
projectAction.js
export const createProject = (project) => {
return { type: 'CREATE_PROJECT', project }
return (dispatch, getState, {getFirebase, getFirestore}) => {
make async call to database
const firestore = getFirestore();
console.log(firestore);
firestore.collection('projects').add({
...project,
authFirstName: ' nm',
authorLastName: 'kjbbggh',
authorId: 12345,
createdAt: new Date()
}).then(()=>{
dispatch({ type: 'CREATE_PROJECT', project });
}).catch((err) => {
dispatch({type: 'ÇREATE_PROJECT_ERROR', err})
})
}
};
