Hey lovely people. Big announcement today.
We're launching Beautiful Words, an indie writing con based in Nelson New Zealand and Online in September & October 2026.
https://www.beautifulwords.net/ So many awesome events, including in-person and online Tiny Moments workshops that will be for everyone.
There'll also be workshops about friend making and networking. Practical writing and publishing workshops. And some really amazing talks by some wonderful writing people.
We'll be announcing the online program within the next few weeks, but if you want to make sure you don't miss anything, just sign up to the newsletter on the website or follow our new Beautiful Words account:
https://bookstodon.com/@beautifulwordsEverything at the in-person con is Koha*/Pay-what-you-can or affordable.
The online program will be all Koha*/Pay-what-you-can because we know how tight the money is right now for people, especially creatives.
*Koha is a Māori custom which can be translated as gift, present, offering, donation or contribution.
(As always, much more, including context for the typewriter on the beach, in the alt text!)
