Shut Up & Write! is a totally free community-driven nonprofit initiative designed to help writers get their writing done. The organisation hosts free in-person and online writing sessions to help writers connect with a global network.

Details

Fancy writing with company in a cafe on a Saturday morning? Well, we’re doing just that, every week, alongside the online sessions - come along and be super-inspired in the company of other writers and get stuff done!

Where can I find you?

We're at the Woodlands iCafe in the West end, in the big room to the right as soon as you walk through the front door, and there'll be at least a couple signs up by the tables the hosts are at so we're super easy to spot (or if all else fails, just look for the sea of laptops!).

How does it work?

10.00 - 10.15: Rock on up at the cafe feeling all productive and energised (for a Saturday morning anyway!) for some pre-writing chit chat or cracking on with getting stuff done.

10.15 - 11.15: Working on your next masterpiece in companionable silence!

11.15 - 12pm onwards: Post-writing chat and socialising! More writing if you like! Watching cute dogs go by the window!

Sound good? YOU BET IT DOES.

The other important stuff

Whilst we have RSVP numbers capped and use the Waitlist feature, you can still come along - however be warned that if you are waitlisted, the chances of getting a seat will be very slim. As it is a public cafe and we are a large group, it's very common for there to be very few or no seats at all left each week.
