Evening Meet-Up – Author Events

A relaxed evening of conversation, networking and community for writers at every stage of their journey.

Join us at Conto Lounge, Winton, for an informal evening with fellow writers. Whether you’re published, aspiring, or simply curious about writing, you’re very welcome.

There’s no agenda, no formal discussion and no pressure—just a friendly space to meet other writers, share ideas, make new connections and enjoy great conversation over a drink.

Hosted by Gary Dalkin of To The Last Word and Sophie Beal of Cadence Publishing, our Evening Meet-Ups bring together writers from across Dorset and beyond in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Whether you’re joining us for the first time or you’re one of our regulars, we’d love to see you.

Please reserve a place so we can ensure we have enough space for everyone.
