**Coworking for writers in our area!**
Join us for some focused writing time. We are a new chapter of Shut Up & Write, a global community that empowers people to overcome their procrastination, silence their inner critics, and make consistent progress on their writing projects. All people and all writing levels are welcome, and don’t worry—no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.

When you show up, find our table with the Shut Up & Write sign. Take a seat, grab a coffee or snack, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re settled in, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. We will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session, which will begin at 9:50 a.m. and end at 10:50 a.m.

Afterward, we’ll have time to get to know each other. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!

**A note about the format:**
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

**Other important details:**
WiFi name/password: These are available upon arrival. There are power outlets near the seats, but attendees might need to share.
Travel / Parking info: Perch is right next to the parking lot marked 7 on this map: [https://maplewoodvillagenj.com/plan-your-visit](https://maplewoodvillagenj.com/plan-your-visit). Note that the larger lot, marked 5, is easier to get out of (and may offer more spaces). Perch is accessible from both Baker St. and Highland Ave., which are off Maplewood Ave. Its alternative street address is 6 1/2 (yes, really 6.5) Highland Ave.

**Venue guidelines:**
Please thank our hosts by purchasing something. Perch offers delicious coffee, gelato, and pastries. It also serves brunch from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and features a lovely shopping area with an array of items from jewelry and home decor to kitchen goods.

Shut Up & Write!® with Malaika Online (Zoom) 

Staring down a blank page or racing a deadline?

Come plug into our weekly online “Shut Up & Write” sprint—a friendly, no-critique zone where novelists, poets, bloggers, academics, and every other kind of word-wrangler gather for one purpose: to get words on the page.

We’ll say a quick hello, state our goals, then hit mute and dive in. No reading aloud, no pressure—just focused time, built-in accountability, and the contagious energy of a creative crew working in parallel.

Grab your project and your favorite beverage, click RSVP to reserve your virtual seat, and show up; your future pages are waiting.
