Shut Up & Write!® Detroit / Downtown

Join us for an hour of writing! This will be an in-person event. Please check the location each week as we will rotate between locations in the Detroit downtown area.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.

SCHEDULE:
2:00 - Quick introductions
2:15 - Timer starts: write for 1.5 hours
3:45 - The End: Chat, take off, or keep writing

OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING: Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.

Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!!

What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
If you plan to use a laptop, it would be best to come with your laptop fully charged.
