Shut Up & Write!® in Capitol Hill

Come write with us on Fridays! This is a coworking hour for any and all writers, no matter your experience level or what you write.

Yes, you can write anything: a zine, an article, a cover letter, a dream journal, a homework essay, your next novel, etc. If you want to write, you are welcome here.

We don’t share our work or provide critiques/feedback. Like it says on the tin, we just shut up and write :)

Tips:

• Look for the reserved table signs at the back of the cafe (past the staircase)!
• Bring noise cancelling headphones/ear muffs if you don’t enjoy the background noise of a busy cafe.
• If you need to take a phone call, please step away from group to take it.

Here's the schedule:

Before 10:30 (optional) | Socialize, say hi, set your shit up, hang out, toilet time, and/or support our local coffeeshop by purchasing a beverage or foodstuff of your choice.

10:30 - 10:45 | Introductions (and optional summary of what you plan to work on)
10:45 - 11:45 | Shut up and write!
11:45 - 12:00 | Summary of how it went (and reminder introductions).

After 12:00 (optional) | You're free to scurry away or stay to write and/or chat after

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.
