**IMPORTANT DETAILS:**

* **We are usually inside at the long tables towards the back of the cafe.**
* **Seating is limited. It's a public cafe so there's not much we can do about this.**
* **The space is very air-conditioned, so you may want to bring a sweatshirt or something warm for extra comfort!**
* **You might want earplugs and/or headphones since they often play lively music at the cafe.**

Shut Up & Write!® hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. 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.

**What to Expect**
RSVP and please arrive 10–15 minutes early to get settled at an in-person event. I 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. No one will read or critique your writing.

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. If you are on time, please be willing to make room for latecomers.

**What Should I Bring?**

* Whatever you need to be able to write!
* Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s ambient music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.

Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.
