Host your own meetup
If you are keen to host a meetup, in-person for writers in your region or a virtual event for writers same category, we would love to help you get organized and spread the word. Our goal is to support hosts with the tools and know-how to find and connect with other writers. We do this by:
Spreading the word: We will share your meetup with writers who have participated in Substack community programs in your region or category on your behalf.
Resources: Hosts receive a Substack toolkit for hosting a meetup, as well as a small stipend for transportation expenses to and from in-person meetups.
