Welcome to Fictionistas, a Substack for and by writers of Fiction on the Substack Platform.
It’s time for another Zoom chat!
It’s the dog days of August. But we’re going to chill out in another fabulous Fictionistas Zoom meet-up! This time around we’re going to gather on Thursday, August 25th at 2 pm PST / 4 pm CST / 5 pm EST / 9 pm UTC. (We alternate times to accommodate people with different schedules and time zones, and starting next month we will shoot for an evening slot again.)
If you’re new to Fictionistas, here’s what you can expect from a meeting…
Meet the fiction author community on Substack.
Learn tips for growing your fiction newsletter.
We’ll discuss and wrap-up our latest project, The Great Substack Story Challenge.
The ongoing cold war with our arch-rivals, the food writers.
The agenda is open and we’ll discuss a wide range of topics. If you can’t make the call live, we will do our best to record it and make it available to everyone afterward.
Pssst: Jackie’s special request for this meeting
It’s August. Nothing much happens in August. Unless you have a birthday, an anniversary, or you celebrate World Elephant Day, in which case, congratulations! 🎁💒🐘
So for this meeting, let’s have some fun! Wear a silly hat! Or a mask, a tiara, or those Mickey Mouse ears no one ever wears after coming home from Florida.
