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, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress.

**Important Details:**
SEATING INFORMATION: Keep an eye out for signage indicating where we're sitting. We're going to start out sitting outside on their big beautiful patio, power strip provided to any who need it, shifting indoors when the weather or other circumstances call for it.
TRAVEL / PARKING: Plentiful street parking and bike rack
GUIDELINES: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

**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, we’ll have an optional time to chat and 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, but not intended primarily as a space to read or critique each others' work.

For more information about our events, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com).

**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 are on time, please be willing to make room for any friendly latecomers.

**What Should I Bring?**
Whatever you need to be able to write!

Face masks available upon request of the host for anyone that wishes to protect themselves and others from airborne illnesses.

Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s ambient music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
