About us
Shut Up & Write! is a global community that empowers writers to overcome procrastination, silence their inner critic, and make consistent progress on their projects. Our events provide a structured and focused environment where writers can come together, set aside distractions, and achieve their writing goals.
What to Expect
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. Once you arrive, our host will lead introductions, and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time. Afterward, we’ll have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

We will have a shared timer as a tab in your browser so you can see how much time we have left. When the host starts the timer, turn your mics and cameras off and focus on writing for 50 mins. At the end of that session, your host will welcome you back into the room for a quick break. This is your change to grab a cup of tea, take a loo break but also connect with other writers.
Then it'll be mics and camera's off for 50 more minutes.Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just keep your mic muted and your camera off until you hear the host.
