Gloucestershire Group: What is Substack?

Join our ever-growing, dynamic Gloucestershire Group on Thursday 20 March from 2.30pm to discuss the usage and benefits of Substack for authors.

This meetup will have two main features. First, attendees may bring along an example of their written output – published or in draft – for someone else in the group to take it away to read. Readers are then invited to provide writers with positive feedback, and to celebrate the writing with the group, at a future meetup. The main focus of the session however will be Substack: members who already use it will explain how, and outline its benefits for self-promotion. There will also be time for news exchange and chat.

The venue has great accessibility: it’s the ground-floor meeting room within the Monastery Café building at Prinknash Abbey, Cranham, GL4 8EX. There is a large, free car park, above the café building. Walk down steps or a gentle slope to access the café entrance. The meeting room is immediately to your left on entering, with toilets opposite. The café to the right serves a great selection of non-alcoholic refreshments, delicious cake etc. If you have accessibility issues, keep driving: there are two disabled spaces just to the left of the doorway. While the café is generously offering us the meeting room free of charge, please bring a card or cash to pay for your own refreshments.
