What we're about
Sign up to host your own Shut Up & Write!
For online events, check out our Online Events Meetup.
Shut Up & Write hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. 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.
What to Expect
RSVP and please arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled at an in-person event. Our host will lead introductions and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time.
Afterward, feel free to get to know each other. Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

Upcoming events (4+)
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
3:00pm - Quick introductions
3:15pm - Timer starts: write for 1 hour
4:15pm - The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at Kevista!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write! Now that the cold weather is upon us, Kevista is getting busier (and noisier!). You may find it helpful to bring earbuds and music to listen to during the writing session.
Other Important Details:
TRAVEL / PARKING: While some parking is available at the coffeehouse, you may wish to park in the adjacent lot (corner of Century Dr. and Simpson Ave.)
SEATING INFORMATION: We will be meeting in Kevista's conference room.
GUIDELINES: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something. It's not required; just a nice thing to do.
