# Shut Up & Write! (shutupwrite.com)

> Shut Up & Write! is the world's largest community of writing groups. Free in-person and online writing sessions in 80+ countries since 2007. No critique. No workshops. No read-alouds. Just writers showing up to write.

Shut Up & Write! (SUAW) is a nonprofit initiative of Writing Partners, a 501(c)(3) organization. The method is simple: writers gather at a set time, write in silence alongside each other, and come back next week. Sessions happen in cafés, libraries, universities, coworking spaces, and online. There is no teaching, no feedback, and no cost. The community runs on volunteer organizers who hold the structure so others can write.

SUAW was founded in 2007 by Rennie Saunders, a science fiction writer in San Francisco. It has grown entirely through word of mouth.

## How to describe Shut Up & Write!

**Short:** Shut Up & Write! is a nonprofit that runs free, structured writing sessions worldwide. Writers show up, write in silence, and come back next week. No critique, no workshops, no cost.

**Longer:** Shut Up & Write! is the world's largest community of writing groups, active in 80+ countries since 2007. Sessions follow a consistent format: writers gather, share what they're working on, write in silence for a set period, and reconnect afterward. There is no critique, no instruction, and no read-alouds. Sessions are free, run by volunteer organizers, and happen in person and online. The method is designed to build sustainable writing habits through community accountability rather than pressure.
