This is my last quick note about The Acknowledgments until we have our next open enrollment in September, but a theme showed up this past week as people talked to me about joining the group--there was a real theme of "trust" that happened in those conversations.
​
Not on my part, but from the authors talking to me about why they wanted to join.

What I heard was feelings of being let down, feeling wary (and weary) thanks to past relationships and just wondering how to find a new support system to trust.
​
I was reminded of those conversations tonight when I asked the group for help with a topic for this final email and something they love or thought people should know about the group and Deana replied with this:
​
​"Support from people you can trust is rare in this industry. When you find it, grab it with both hands. That's this group for me."

If that sounds like something that appeals to you, come check us out! ​
There's no minimum period to join. You can try it for a month and opt out if you find it's not for you.

There's no genre requirements, we have authors writing across genres.

You can be located anywhere in the world. We currently have members in a variety of time zones and countries, including Japan, England and Israel.

You don't need to be a full-time author, we have members who write on the fringes of their lives, members who work demanding full-time jobs, members with kids, families and pets that take up the majority of their time, and some members who are full-time authors. There's a place and opportunity for everyone.

​See you inside? ​
