Shut Up & Write New Haven - Live and In Person!

Hey writers! We'll be meeting in the indoor seating area at the MOTW Cafe on Crown Street in New Haven! The in person meetings run differently from the online ones. We'll do an initial check-in at 7pm with introductions, then do timed independent writing for an hour. After the hour is up we can chat about what we worked on, socialize a bit, or even just say so long and thanks for the hour of writing. Shut Up & Write is a writing accountability group and is not a venue for workshopping, however you are more than welcome to set up workshopping, cowriting, etc sessions with people you meet at the events. The Shut Up & Write website, shutupwrite.com , also has writing challenges as well as additional resources available.

Event Timeline:
7:00pm: Announcements and Introductions
7:15pm (earlier if we finish intros quickly): Silent timed writing time for 1 hour
8:15pm: Check-in following silent writing, clean up materials

MOTW CLOSES AT 8:30 PM
You are welcome to arrive prior to 7pm for additional socializing or focused writing time. The hosts (April, Anna and Leon) make an effort to be there early as well.

Hope to see you there!

Please reach out to April, Anna or Leon via Meetup with any questions. The venue does not have information about the Meetup group, please do not harass them.

--Note: You are heavily encouraged to patronize the establishment at each visit. These meetings are not affiliated with the business where they take place, but venues have been nice enough to host our groups. Purchasing an item is not a requirement to participate in the group, however the venue has the right to remove or refuse people at their discretion --

Reminder - please be covid safe while in person. Respect any mask mandates in place and maintain social distancing guidelines as put forth by the CDC
