Dear friends, readers, allies, & neurodivergent peers,

The Resiliency Circle is where paid readers of For the Birds gather in order to write, reflect, and nurture our creativity. A gentle monthly opportunity, it’s low-stakes, low-commitment, and high reward.

And it’s happening again this Wednesday, June 25th, at 9:30am PST / 12:30pm EST.

This month, we’re gathering for an hour to chat about the strange, beautiful, optional journey of sending our creative work out into the world.

The first half of our gathering will function like a “talk,” where I’ll walk us through some publishing basics and the related thoughts & beliefs I’ve cultivated over the years. The second half will be your chance to share reflections, ask questions, and give voice to your own hard-earned wisdom, alternative frameworks, or the sticky situations that could use some empathetic witnessing.

Dear Birds: I AM NOT A PUBLISHING EXPERT, and this will very much be a 101-style talk. I’ve experienced many, many rejections over the years, as well as a handful of acceptances that I am increasingly proud of.

Let’s build a collective pool of knowledge and insight! Let’s be together and walk away feeling a little less alone, and a little less bad about this complicated topic.
