What we’re about
Shut Up & Write! is a global community that empowers writers to overcome procrastination, silence their inner critic, and make consistent progress on their projects. Our events provide a structured and focused environment where writers can come together, set aside distractions, and achieve their writing goals.
What to Expect
Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, a period of focused writing, and a final check-in to share our progress. Once you arrive, our host will lead introductions, and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time. Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

Details
Join us for 60 minutes of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 11:00 am Sunday mornings.All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done (whether you're working on fiction, non-fiction, poetry, essays, or something completely different) and meeting other writers in your area.
When you arrive, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once everyone’s arrived, we'll have quick introductions and set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! This is not a critique group. However, sharing writing is an option once the meeting is over.
