Shut Up & Write!® at Birkenhead library (Mezzanine meeting room)

We are grateful to be able to meet without cost in the Mezzanine Room at the Birkenhead library. We have the Mezzanine Room (upstairs) from 10 am (library opening) to 12 noon. We start there promptly, as soon as the library doors open. If there are a lot of us (more than 5) , we spill out to various spots in the library and then come together to note our progress and decide where to go for coffee afterwards at 11:55!
Format:
10:00-10:10 Access room and set up. Names & a 1 sentence description of what you are working on.
10:10 We start writing and work til 11:00.
11:00 A brief stretch and a stand up as needed. New people intros.
11:05 to 11:55 Rinse and repeat!
We finish at 11:55 to decide where to go for coffee afterwards.

In order for maximum courtesy to other library patrons, we vacate the room promptly at 11:59.
(Writers can join us anytime during the two hours. If we are writing, please settle in quietly so as to cause minimum disruption.)

Please set your phone to mute.

Coworking for writers in your area!
Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, you are not required to read what you have written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.

Afterward, we’ll have time to socialize and get to know each other. Maybe you'll find a writing buddy with whom you can share each other's work. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers, but if you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!

If you're running late, no worries! Just come in and quietly start writing, and we'll have a catchup at the end.

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 free if you've got a library card or get a visitor pass from the library desk.
Travel / Parking info: Parking should be pretty easy given the time of day, but there is a free lot across the street from the library for 2 hours. 3 hour parking is available in the adjacent lot, a short walk down the hill.
We'll be meeting on the second floor upstairs in the mezzanine meeting room. Hopefully I will have posted some signs or left some breadcrumbs (lol!) so that you can find your way. If lost, just ask at the desk. Welcome!
Please note that our space is limited. If you RSVP and then don't show, you are potentially depriving another writer a space. If you RSVP and then don't show up twice, you will be dropped. This is our policy to allow committed and dedicated writers the space to attend.
