What we’re about
Shut Up & Write! is a global community that empowers writers to overcome procrastination, silence their inner critic, and make consistent progress on their projects. Our events provide a structured and focused environment where writers can come together, set aside distractions, and achieve their writing goals.
What to Expect
Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, a period of focused writing, and a final check-in to share our progress. Once you arrive, our host 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. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing.

Glendale Shut Up & Write!® Monday @ 10:30 AM, Foothills Library, Glendale
Foothills Library, 19055 N 57th Ave, Glendale, AZ, USAt 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!
