Though the world of online writing is full of interaction- through comments, likes, shares, tweets, and more- there is still something to be said for getting one-on-one feedback on your work, either in the digital space or IRL.
In this episode of the Online Writing Insider (Being a Social Writer), Robin Edmondson and Simone Smith discuss the benefits of meeting with other people to discuss your online writing. Ā They also discuss the use of Meetup as a great means of meeting with likeminded authors- HubPages, for example, offers HubCamps and HubMeets to help its writers connect and trade tips and feedback in person.
Are you interested in getting involved with HubCamps or HubMeets? Ā Check out the official meetup pages at http://www.meetup.com/hubcamp/ andĀ http://www.meetup.com/hubpages/. Ā And if you’re near London, be sure to stop by HubCamp London! Ā It’s TOMORROW at 3:00pm!

That’s a great idea. I really think we all benefit when we work together like this.
Sorry, can’t see it. I can’t use Quicktime, which this asks for. For some reason, I can’t get Quicktime to work. Probably because I only have dial-up and can’t see Podcast.
I would prefer reading about it.
Michael – It’s audio-only. We don’t have transcripts for podcasts, but in many cases we include links to the Hubs they discuss in the post itself. š – Jason
I know that if I fail to reply to comments – that’s it, nobody will continue to be interested in my work. Oh, there may be a few, but it won’t be the MANY that I want.
“Slightly less formal” – now that sounds more my style. I think I’d like to cook for all the non vegetarian hubbers in my “hood.”
Oh have a drink! Now you have me going. I can’t buy everyone’s drink, but I can drink everyone’s drink. . . . . Public! oh goodness, I’m not sure that I’m allowed in public, I might have to call and ask someone. . . .
