If you’ve been to our events, you know the feeling: great panels, smart questions, breakout rooms you wish lasted longer, and then… time’s up. After Hours is our way of keeping our community together even after the show is over. Features include: • Highlights pulled both breakout rooms—you can only be in one room during the live event, but After Hours brings you the best moments, writing advice, and book recommendations from both! • Book recommendations from us and our guests, with all the links you need. • A community space to share your own book recommendations and connect with fellow readers • Bonus content—occasional author interviews and behind-the-scenes extras created exclusively for After Hours. After Hours lives on Substack, a platform that delivers content straight to your inbox—no algorithms, no social noise. Some posts are free; others are for paid subscribers only. You can choose the subscription level that works for you. Subscribe here! https://afterhoursatthebackroom.substack.com
