Hello readers and friends, 

I’m thrilled to share that Dating Disability: 15 Stories of Dealing with the BS and Building Confidence has officially gone to the printer and will ship in about six weeks! 

If you pre-ordered the book as part of the summer 2024 crowdfund and your current mailing address is different from the one you used when you ordered, please email info@ecgoodson.com with your new address so I can make sure your copy gets to you as soon as possible. 

I’ll be heading into the studio in September to record the audiobook and will keep you posted as that comes together. If any of your friends would like to buy the audiobook, they will be able to do that in December. 

In the meantime, I’ve had conversations about the book at recent events, including at the CHIEF Clubhouse in Washington, D.C., and with employees of Tapestry in New York. These talks have explored the power of storytelling to drive inclusion, how to build confidence and self-worth, and why community and representation matter so deeply. 

I’ll keep you updated as more events come together, and please also feel free reach out if your company or organization would like to host me. I’ve included a few event photos below, and I look forward to staying in touch—both about shipping updates and ways you can amplify the book once it arrives in your mailbox.

Have a wonderful end of summer and start to the fall,

Emily
