All I want is good hangs

Happy Friday!
It officially feels like summer around here now that the girls finished school this week.
What I find myself wanting now is simply good hangs with good people.
If you feel that too, here are a few ways to find your people inside the Uplifters community this week. All three are for paid subscribers. Every dollar from paid subscriptions goes directly to supporting community through donations, book buys, etc. Between Uplifters Live and podcast subscriptions this year alone, we’ve donated almost $7,000 together. If cost is ever a barrier, though, just reply to this email.
1. Say hello in the subscriber chat. Just introduce yourself. Tell us who you are and what you’re working on. That’s it. It’s a low-stakes, high-return way to connect.
2. Join our Co-Working Cocoon every Friday. Next one is starting in one hour. We gather to co-work in community. The first 15 minutes are a check-in, then we put our heads down and work for 45 minutes, pause for a one-song dance party (yes, really), then we go back into focus for another hour.
3. Join our first-ever Lift and Be Lifted Uplifters Zoom this Tuesday, June 23 at 7pm ET / 4pm PT.
Uplifters Live in March was one of my favorite days in recent memory. Over 100 of us in a room together, operating under a shared agreement to lift and be lifted. We boldly named what we were working on, said where we could use support, and pooled our resources. Since then, so much has grown from that one day: new literary agents signed, a TEDx booking, new clients, new followers, new retail placements, friendships, and a lot of much-needed moral support.
I kept thinking: why does this only happen once a year?
So I’m bringing it to Zoom. My hope is that this becomes a regular monthly gathering where we can connect, celebrate what we’re building, name what’s getting in the way, offer what we know, and lift each other higher.
Come prepared to share a little about what you’re working on and one thing you could use support with, whether that’s an intro, a resource, likes and follows, or just someone to cheer you on.
Can’t make it Tuesday? No worries. This will be monthly, and once we see how the first one goes, I’ll send details for the next few.
