Meet and Greet

### Initial Meet & Greet for Independent Authors & Writers

You’re invited to the first official Hendersonville Authors Colony Meet & Greet—a relaxed, open gathering for independent authors, writers, and storytellers of all kinds who believe that writing doesn’t have to be a solitary journey.

This inaugural event is about connection, conversation, and community.

Whether you’re working on your first manuscript, have several books under your belt, or live somewhere in between, this is a space to come together and share:

• Ideas, inspirations, and creative struggles
• Successes, lessons learned, and hard-earned wisdom
• Tools, workflows, and writing practices that actually work
• Marketing approaches, sales platforms, and distribution experiences
• Resources for publishing, branding, and audience-building

There’s no formal agenda—just authentic conversation with people who understand the writing life. Think of it as a creative roundtable where collaboration is encouraged, questions are welcome, and competition is left at the door.

The goal of the Hendersonville Authors Colony is simple:
to build a supportive local network where writers help writers grow—artistically, professionally, and personally.

Come listen, share, ask questions, or just meet fellow creatives who get it.

Bring your curiosity, your experiences, and your passion for storytelling.
This is the beginning of something we’re building together.

All independent authors and writers are welcome.
