What we’re about
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.

ABOUT THE EVENT
ZOOM PASSCODE: 099243
Commit to your writing every Saturday. We'll do introductions, then get 90 minutes of writing done — any writing you like. Write from anywhere. Join us for intros and then write silently for 90 minutes. If you need to leave early, or if you're into the flow and want to keep going when the timer rings, that's fine, feel free to post in the chat how it went for you before heading out.
Latecomers: After Introductions, we’re in our silent-writing time. For security and to provide focus for our SUAW-session participants, the meeting may be closed to further attendees. Please join us another day, during our introduction time (schedule below). We wish you happy writing!
