Imagine the depression which settled its ugly self within my soul when I discovered this AWESOME author without her own website. UGH! The sun is shining……but I am not….

I think Audry Wagner-Morales has hit the nail on the head. Unless the website is used for book reviews–and there are many publishers that do that–she would need to be careful and not relay insights that most likely will make their way into one of her books….After all, this is how she makes her living. I am guessing that perhaps she just does not want any distractions. An email address would be nice, though. I love her writing style, as well as the content. It took awhile to get use to the rough language, though.

Like with many of you, Anne Lamott’s books started an inner revolution. Of all a sudden there was someone writing, lyrically, beautifully but not in an obscure way, about what it means to feel your own brokenness and imperfection, and at the same time, the importance of being kind to yourself. Reading her has brought insight and wisdom into my life along with a deep desire to be militant on my own side, as Anne would put it. So I’d love for Anne to have a website, I periodically do a web search for one, just in case, but I suspect she doesn’t have one perhaps to avoid entanglements that might influence what she wants to say. I dare imagine that Anne would prefer to be free of what people might come to expect of her. She is on her own journey, and that’s what’s her writing is about, if she had a blog, for example, it might be just more difficult to put together a book about personal essays, for instance. For one, it would all have been said already, and second, it might feel influenced by the demands of reader. Obviously I’m speculating. Be that as it may, I just sometimes wish I could write her an e-mail and tell her thank you for the gift of you and for putting me on the way of seeing myself as a gift too.

I adore, love, treasure Anne Lamott. Her voice gets in my head, and I am changed and challenged by the things she has to say. I would love to be in her safe circle of quirky, up-lifting friends. But I can (and will) read everything she writes. She’s wonderful web-site or not!

Anne Lamott’s books have been life saving to me, and I totally understand why she does not have a web site!

I love Anne Lamott! I too grew up in Marin, got sober there in 1989, and am about her age. Even though Ive never met her personally, I feel like she’s my friend just through her books, which I know is wierd but so what?! I would love to have a website that listed her public appearances–Im still so disappointed that I missed her appearance with my other fave, Liz Gilbert. Ive been reading Anne for years and look forward to each new book.

I have been reading every Anne Lamontt books I can find. I have related to her spiritual struggles and self discoveries. I recently redicated my life to Christ. I have not found very much support from church, because I also have many feminist views. These views don’t fit well with church doctrine. I feel lonely for fellowship. I find I wish I could find a personal friend like Anne. I woild love it if you can perhaps forward my e-mail to Anne Lammount. I would value it so much if she would correspound with me about being a christian and a feminist. I think that she is a delightful person who I would love to hear more about her life and spirituality.

I absolutely love Anne Lamott. She is a treasure that I just recently discovered. I have only read 3 of her books but I am addicted! I thought that it was really odd that she did not have a website. She shares so much of who she is in her books that maybe a website may seem too shallow. However, I would follow her if she did choose to conform to the requests of the tech world. Thanks Kevin for your attempt to unite her fans!

I am almost 70 years old and just happened upon Anne Lamott on my Kindle, Traveling Mercies… She quickly became my new favorite author. I didn’t think I would come to completely love the reverance of irreverance. Now, I want all of her books published on Kindle. Her novels are not on Kindle as of today! I would love to keep up with her on her own website.
