Five Years of The Great Belonging + So Much to Celebrate

This week we’re celebrating five years of The Great Belonging: How Loneliness Leads Us to Each Other (Broadleaf Books, November 10, 2020), the official publication date for Spiritual Direction for Writers (Eerdmans, September 2, 2026), the launch of our new small press, Thoughtful Books Etc.™, the first two books that will be published by Thoughtful Books Etc.™—The Great Belonging Project AND Take More Retreats: A Solo Guidebook for Writers, Journalers, and Anyone Who Wants to Flourish Anyway™, and our new umbrella for all of Charlotte Donlon’s writing, spiritual direction, and gatherings—Flourish Anyway™.

That’s a lot to celebrate. I hope you join us in supporting the launch of our small press by becoming a Thoughtful Books Etc. Founding Member with our celebration sale pricing available through Friday, November 14, 2025.
