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.

Join us for an hour of writing! I've found that it can be amazingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 10am on Monday mornings on Zoom.

Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, poem, or just plain work stuff, you're 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
• 10am - Everyone starts to arrive and get settled.
• 10:05am-ish – Quick intros.
• 10:15am – Timer starts and the writing hour begins.
• 11:15am – The end of the hour is announced, but if you don't want to socialize or head out, you can always keep writing!

Optional socializing happens from 11:15 to 11:30am. Writing is very solitary, so connecting (and commiserating) with other writers can be a great thing. Being late is okay—just click the Zoom link to join when you can.
