Sounds great. My only worry is that I am nowhere near as hilarious in real life as my writing suggests.

This is awesome. Substack is building a truly vibrant ecosystem.

Hello Writers, who’s in London and fancies a pint? 🍻😁 If you are in London, join this Private Telegram group so we can plan a meet or message me. https://t.me/+iIVdR66o-1o0OTE0

This is wonderful! I'm curious to see if there will be any meetups in Massachusetts.

I've already signed up for the Amsterdam meetup with Wesley a while ago. Really looking forward to it. And another great thing is, I'm having a photowalk with a subscriber in the afternoon. Sounds like a perfect day, right?

Sounds great. I can sense a lot of a murder mystery nights spawning from this 🤣

Would love to attend another meetup of writers in Toronto. Glad to see Substack putting more energy behind writers connecting in-person.

i’d love to chat with some local michigan and/or texas folks... substackian’s seem to eyeroll at blogging a lot less than the average joe (certainly bc we’re all similarly deranged)

This is great! I tried to organize a Seattle meetup this summer but travel and illness meant we couldn’t achieve critical mass. I’ve since met so many more writers in the area. I appreciate this support to finally make it happen.

I love this! Who’s in DC/Georgetown? Do we have a host here yet?

I'd be happy to host a meet-up for Western New York. Depending on the number of folks who want to come and the time of year, I can host at my house, which is centrally located in downtown Ithaca, NY, or I can arrange a space at a local watering hole, or by the lake.

I write Let Your Life Speak and have been writing on Substack since January 2021. I've been to a meet-up in NYC, which was delightful fun, but now that I work full-time outside of the house getting down to the city, particularly in the middle of the week, is impossible. But Western New York is a pretty vast area, so I'm guessing I'm not alone in wishing there was an opportunity for writers out this way that is more accessible. I'm also close enough to PA that we could roll in some Northwestern PA folks as well. Us folks in the Northern Appalachians have to stick together.

San Francisco Bay Area folks, let’s go!

(Seriously, I am going to apply to help host.)

I’d love to host a half day retreat by the coast in Northumberland, UK. I’ve already got the perfect venue! Our nearest town is on the east coast mainline by rail it’s really easy to get here. ✨✍️
