Writers IRL Meetup: Hastings

​Newsletter writers unite!

​Growing into your newsletter on Substack, Beehiiv, Ghost or other?

​Join our meetups to make some IRL writing pals and get support & accountability.

​Last month, we met Tim Barlow and Gwen Coates, who are hosting the Hastings Book Festival Fringe in September. Tim has set up a newsletter on Substack - a great way to build community and sell tickets. And a content asset post-event. Check it out.

​Bring any books and mags that have inspired you. Readings welcome too!

​The guest list is open so you can see who's coming and connect online.

​Barnaby's opens at 3 pm. A cosy spot upstairs to work, great coffee, some good exhibitions, bits & bobs.

​I love how Barnaby is growing this into a multimedia space for the creative community. I went to the last BASH networking event there too with Katie Lee who also came along - shhhh, don't tell anyone about her Top Secret Project...

​Look forward to seeing you!

​Have a great week.

​Cheers, Nika 🥂

​PS From Thurs April 10 this will be a weekly Writers' Cafe - 3-5 pm at Barnaby's. Silent coworking session (90 mins) followed by drinks downstairs.
