Spiritual Direction for Writers Book Preorder Perks and Updates

It continues to be difficult to be a human in this world.

My hope is that your creative encounters and practices can be nourishing breaks from the news and chaos, helping your body, mind, and soul takes some breaks from the worry, anxiety, uncertainty, and tragedy that seems to surround us throughout so much of our days.

Engaging with others’ art and making your own art can be acts of resistance. 

We don’t have to let anyone steal all of our joy or convince us we have no agency in how we inhabit our days.

Preorder Perks & Updates

I have some great news and Preorder Perks Updates for people who preorder Spiritual Direction for Writers: Everyday Rituals for Your Writing Life.

Also, more details on what’s included in SDW Insiders is further down in this email.

1. All of Life Is the Writing Life Deep Dive Online Offering [Available Now]

   The forthcoming book Spiritual Direction for Writers: Everyday Rituals for Your Writing Life explores a handful of recurring themes that together form a complete and whole soulful vision of the writing life.

   Everyone who preorders the book will receive access to the 60-minute All of Life Is the Writing Life workshop, a deep dive into just one of the book’s themes and the mantra at the heart of Spiritual Direction for Writers: all of life is the writing life. The book goes much further, and I hope this online experience gives you a taste of what's waiting for you.

   All SDW Insiders have immediate access to the All of Life Is the Writing Life Deep Dive online offering to watch and engage with at your own pace. If you’re an SDW Insider you can sign in to the SDW website using your email address and password, then click on “SDW Insiders,” and you will see a button for this online offer that says “All of Life Is the Writing Life Deep Dive Course.” Please let me know if you have any problems accessing this offering.

2. Early Digital ARC Access to the Entire Book via Netgalley [Available Soon]
   Everyone who preorders the book will have an opportunity to access the digital ARC and read the entire book via Netgalley. I’m still waiting for the link and details on how this will work. SDW Insiders will receive all of that information first because SDW Insiders get all pre-order perks as soon as they are available. I hear the book may be available for preorder through all bookshop websites etc. very very soon, so stay tuned!

3. Exclusive to SDW Insiders: Monthly Q&A + AMA + Group Coaching Sessions. [Available Soon]
   When SDW Insiders receive access to the Netgalley ARC, I’ll schedule the dates for seven different Zoom gatherings for all SDW Insiders that focus on each section of the book. These gatherings will be recorded for those who can’t attend the Zoom gatherings live. All SDW Insiders will receive invitations to attend all Zoom gatherings and will be able submit questions ahead of time. All questions submitted prior to each Zoom gathering are guaranteed to be answered in some capacity.
