Author Meet-Up - Bournemouth, Dorset (UK)

Author Meet-Up – Author Events

A relaxed and welcoming evening for writers of all genres to connect, chat, share ideas, and unwind together.

Join us at Conto Lounge, Winton for a relaxed, social evening with fellow writers. There’s no agenda, no pressure, and no formal discussion — just good conversation, shared experiences, and a welcoming space to connect with other people who love writing.

This Author Meet-Up is hosted by Gary Dalkin of To The Last Word and Sophie Beal of Cadence Publishing, who bring a wealth of experience in supporting writers and fostering meaningful literary connections.

Whether you’re a regular or coming along for the first time, this is a friendly, informal space to connect with others who love writing.

Please book a place so we can ensure we have a suitable space.
