What we’re about

Want to write? Need to write? Let’s meet online and write together, because that’s more fun than toiling away by yourself. Academics, fiction writers, non-fiction writers, journalists, poets, screenwriters, all kinds of writers are welcome! I wrote my PhD dissertation a few years back within Shut Up and Write sessions and also a novel during NaNoWriMo, so it certainly gets you writing :)

We host longer groupings of sessions, or sometimes just shorter single sessions. They all have the same format:

  1. shut up :)
  2. write

This is NOT a writing group for feedback or critique etc. It's just a place for people to gather together to write on a regular basis. We usually start with a bit of socialising, but otherwise sessions keep strictly to the schedule listed on the individual group.

No feedback or exercises, just good company while writing.
