At **Shut Up & Write**, we’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers in a bookshop, with coffee, and an unbelievably inspiring setting. Be it a book, blog, script, poem, essay, dissertation, journal, resume, melody, 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 unless you ask for it from one writer to another.

Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. Meeting with other writers keeps you accountable for doing the actual writing, *and* you become part of a writing community. If this sounds right to you, **meet us at 10:30 pm on Tuesday mornings. We look forward to having you at Shut Up & Write!**
