Join Charlotte Donlon for a Book Launch Event

Spiritual Direction for Writers: Everyday Rituals for Your Writing Life is launching into the world through a season of conversations, workshops, and retreats designed for writers, journalers, pastors, students, and creative souls who sense that their work on the page is inseparable from their inner life.

I’ll be gathering with communities across the country—in bookstores, churches, universities, and retreat spaces—to explore how we begin, belong, become, behold, bestow, and begin again as writers.

Whether you join me in Birmingham for my hometown launch, a guided retreat in Durham or New York, or an intimate reading and conversation at an independent bookstore, my hope is that these events will offer space to breathe, to be seen, and to tend your writing life as “all of life.”

Below is a list of upcoming book launch events. I’m grateful for each opportunity to meet you there.
