Shut Up & Write!® Los Angeles

ABOUT THE EVENT
Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you at 7:00pm on Monday Evenings.

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:
6:45 - Arrive, get food/drinks & wifi
7:00 - Quick introductions.
7:10 - Timer starts. Write for 1 hour.
8:10 - Chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 8:10PM. Writing can be very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.

What Should I Bring?
All you need is something to write with. There are no power outlets but free WiFi is usually available. Since we are meeting outside, please dress accordingly depending on the weather.

Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels 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.

Feel free to show up between 6:30pm an 7pm to say hello, grab a drink and get your writing tools ready.

At around 7pm, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. We'll do 1 hour of quiet writing!

Afterward from 8pm onwards, 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.
