Coworking for writers in your area!
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.

SCHEDULE:
6:25 PM: Arrive, find a chair, grab a beverage or snack, get your writing tools ready. I will put out a Shut Up & Write! table tent so we'll be easy to spot.
6:35 PM: The 1-hour writing timer begins! There is something magical about writing with other people. All those creative sparks in the ether can be quite inspiring. Breathe it in.**If you arrive after 6:35, please silently have a seat. We'll welcome you at 7:35**
7:35 PM: Time to get to know each other and hear about each other's writing projects, vent our frustrations (or share our joy!) about the writing life. 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.
