Shut Up & Write!® at Carrickphierish Library

Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels (age 18 and over) 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.

Whether you’re writing haiku or poetry, scripts for stage or screen, penning a novel, flash, or short story or working on an essay, thesis or dissertation, you’re welcome to join. Make sure to book your place beforehand.

When you show up, you’ll find us under the stairs in the Cookery book section. Say hello to everyone, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.
Altogether we will have two 25-minute writing sprints.

At the break and after, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. 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.

We can recommend other writing groups and events you can bring the writing you have worked on in these sprints to.
