About us
Shut Up & Write!® is a nonprofit writing initiative that has supported writing communities around the world since 2007. At its core, it is a simple, repeatable practice that helps people write consistently by showing up together, writing side by side (or screen by screen), and keeping the experience free of critique, pressure, or performance.
My name is Maggie and I will be hosting online sessions twice a week. The meetings are hosted on Teams and are completely free. We will spend 15 minutes saying hello and getting orientated, an hour in focused writing time, and 15 minutes optionally reflecting.
Sundays:
Morning Muses is a Shut Up & Write circle dedicated to honoring the quiet creative power of early mornings - before the world gets loud. The 90-minute writing session is built around the idea that mornings are our peak time for clarity, imagination, and flow. Let's take in the calmness of the morning and write together, starting our week with creative energy!
I love writing in the mornings because my head is not quite yet crowded with life's distractions! Showing up for my writing like this helps me to create a quite, unhurried space that is full of possibility.
Happy writing, everyone!
Thursdays:
Afterlight Authors is a Shut Up & Write community of writers who embrace the quiet power of the night - where distractions fade, emotions rise, and stories unfold with deeper clarity. A true atmospheric focus! Let's slow down and reflect during this 90-minute session.
I love this time of day for writing because the day is ending, the sky is dimming, and people are beginning to mentally clock-out. It's not midnight-dark, but it is transition-dark... and transition is powerful!
Happy writing, everyone!
