Exciting news! I have the actual book in hand!!!
My publishing team sent two Advanced Reader Copies (ARCs), and a mock-up for photos, so that I could use them as references and props until the actual book arrived. But the funny thing is, the actual book arrived at the same time as the ARCs and mock-up. Hah! They were three different packages, sent at three totally different times — shipping is so unpredictable these days. If you’d like to see the ARCs and mockup, take a look at my Instagram highlight called Book Updates.
Not as exciting as the book arrival, but still making me happy: I got a cute new haircut!

23 Book Clubs have told me they’re planning to discuss Ejaculate Responsibly.
Want to add yours? You can make sure it’s included by filling out this form. I would love to see book clubs in every state and many more countries — maybe for the next update, I’ll need to include a map.
67 Books are headed to the Supreme Court!! This graphic makes me smile so big:
Do you want to send one too? I’ve made it as easy as possible: Click here for addresses, a sample message, bookstore links, and a form to let me know you sent a book.
I’d love your help spreading the news about these goals. Here’s an instagram post that’s easy to share to your own Instagram Stories or in a text message. Or, you can forward or share this newsletter. Or, you can share my blog post about these goals. Thank you in advance for sharing.
Grab your Alt Summit Ticket before the price jumps!
Are you thinking about coming to Alt Summit in NYC in October? I’ll be speaking about my book on the Keynote Stage and I’d love to meet you there!
