What we’re about
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.

Shut Up & Write!® in Kitsch Cafe, Ebley, Stroud
Kitsch Cafe & Wine Bar, Greenaways,, Ebley, GBHello! It would be great if you could 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.
When you show up, all you have to do is look for the Shut up & Write! sign on a table. Come over and say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. (If you're sensitive to noise levels in a cafe, you might like to bring some noise-cancelling headphones.) Once settled, do take time to chat with your fellow writers. I'll lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. We'll try an hour and see how that goes (do re-fuel with more drinks or take breaks if you like.)
Afterwards, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
