Register for a Story Supper 🍲

Welcome writer friends! 👋
Story Suppers are informal gatherings of writers in cities across the world 🌍. It's a supper club for writers!
Maggie Beeler and I (Michael Evans) started Story Suppers as a fun and useful way to bring writers together.
We both travel to lots of conferences and cities (I think I've been to 20+ major cities in 2024).
We want a better way to make new writer friends and catch-up with old friends in the cities we visit.
Here's a picture of me and Maggie.

We are friendly people (and a rare breed of extroverted writers... but Story Suppers are supposed to be warm and cozy for all of our introvert friends too!).
Each Story Supper follows a similar format, but with different topics for our live talk show Author Helpline and new amazing writers to meet!
But what's our special sauce, you ask? What makes a Story Supper... a Story Supper?
First, we cap each Story Supper at just 10 attendees (and some even less than that!).
The Hors d'oeuvres: We use a simple questionnaire to match you with writers that you have things in common with. Then, you both get to meet each other over dinner with 10 Questions to Befriend a Fellow Storyteller (or you can casually, it's up to you!).
The EntrĂŠe: The second half of a Story Supper is a live recording of the talk show Author Helpline. YOU will be invited to ask questions, get help on burning questions you have about writing and publishing, and hopefully laugh together too!
Suppers are all about learning with each other and making new writer friends in your city!
For each supper, we have an entry fee of $5 USD + the price of your dinner. For our first series of Story Suppers, all entry fees will go towards some fun swag.
But wait why do we really need an entry fee?
Look friends, back in January of 2023, I hosted a writer meet-up in New York City at my friend's ice cream shop.
20 people RSVP'd.
No one showed up 🥲. You can watch a video of my reaction here:
This form takes <2 minutes to fill out and allows you to attend a Story Supper that is taking place in a city near you soon 🎉.
Needless to say, I was a bit sad... and I learned a lesson: a small amount of money as a commitment goes a long way in ensuring people show up (which is pretty important when we want to match you all!). With this said... if the entry fee at all proves to be a hurdle, send me an email at [email protected] and we will make sure you get access to any supper you plan to attend for free.
