What we’re about
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.

See all- Free afternoon @ the Cheltenham Science FestivalImperial gardens, Cheltenham
Come along for an afternoon of free events at the Cheltenham Science Festival! On Saturday 7th June there'll be a series of free events at the Jetstream venue in the Imperial Gardens: https://www.cheltenhamfestivals.org/events/free-saturday-7-june
This will start at 2-2:45 with eco-poetry readings presented by wildlife conservationist Chantelle Lindsay, after which there'll be a guided meditation session from 3:15-3:45 led by Brinny Does: https://brinnydoes.com/
Then get on your nerd caps for a Science(ish) Pop Quiz from 4:15-5, for those who love a pub quiz (make sure to brush up on your periodic table beforehand!) From 5:30-6pm there'll be stand-up comedy hosted by Shirley Halse, founder of the Alternative Book Club comedy night in Cheltenham.
I'll be leaving just before the end of the comedy to attend a darning workshop, but feel free to stick around and enjoy the music afterward. Pop in and out as you like, no need to stay for the whole afternoon/evening, there should be food stalls on the site as well; but hope to see you there :)
