Things Worth Knowing with Farrah Storr
Hello, I’m Amy Beeson a writer based in West London and soon to be podcaster from I Need To Finish Before I Die. This London Meet Up is the second one I’ve organised. The writers who came to our November 2024 meet up made it magical. So, whether you’re new to Substack, been on the platform for a while or want to find out what writing on Substack is all about book a ticket and come along.
Never let anyone say Substack is not magical. The people it attracts are true gems. Grateful to have the opportunity to be in community with such inspiring women.”

Book your place
I’m so looking forward to welcoming Substackers on Monday 13 January 2025 from 7pm in Hammersmith. Your ticket includes one free drink on arrival (that’s any soft drink, Peroni, Corona, Meantime Pale Ale or Prosecco. The bartenders will have a list of guests names). We then sit down together to chat for an hour or so. Lots of people order dinner or snacks and this is completely optional, last time we shared lots of small plates and it was fun and more affordable.
I’ll send all the information you need on directions and travel, timings and menus on the day. Book your ticket now on for £9.72 (the price covers your drink and processing fees).
Subscriber offer
If you’re an annual or creative pod subscriber to I Need To Finish This Before I Die you can come for free and I’ll buy your first drink as a thank you. Drop me a DM to book your place.

Coffee with Coops
Open Mic
Once we’re repleate we then move into a cosy space for an open mic to enjoy some of the group reading their work. It’s a time to share experiences, chat and relax.
If you’re interested in having one of open mic spots to read or speak about your work drop me a message in the comments to find out more.
“An intimate and inspirational gathering, sharing stories, listening to each other’s words and experiences. It was a huge privilege to share some of the stories. This community is special indeed.”

This is a small and friendly event. It’s even nicer if you connect with other people on Substack before you come. Please do help spread the word by sharing this post.

Just booked my ticket. I’ve never done anything like this so am a bit nervous but so excited to meet some London-based Substackers. Thank you for organising the event!
Hey Amy, I’d love to come. (I’m also a West Londoner 😊 born and bred in Fulham, but I live out near Epsom now)….anyway, I’d really like to come along to this, but I’m quite nervous to book a ticket in advance. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue; it’s not the best with the cold/this time of year. So I may book but I may also need to cancel if my pain levels are too high. Hope that’s ok.
I know Hammersmith is good for transport but depending on location, I can’t walk too far. Is there parking nearby? I might even grab an uber. Sorry for the long message, I couldn’t see how to DM you! Thanks
