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.

A newsletter for media makers building indie businesses. Creative ideas, expert insights, cool tools—plus invites to the Writers' Café.
Outside The Shift, I run Firebird, a delightfully tiny storytelling studio.
