Shut Up & Write! Madison Central Library

Where: Madison Central Library, Room 209 When: Every Saturday, 10:00 AM * Head's UP!! This SUAW group is transitioning *off Meetup.com* as of June 1st, 2026. Please read info below for how to stay connected. Join us for an hour of writing! We’ve discovered that it’s strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if it’s true for you. Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem 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. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some words on the page. What to Expect 10:00 -- Get settled in. 10:02 -- Quick introductions. 10:05 -- Timer starts, write for 1 hour! 11:05 -- Chat or take off! We’ve reserved the room till noon. After the hour of writing, we have an optional time to chat and get to know each other. No one will read or critique your writing. Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. Being late is okay! Just show up and get settled, then check in with the host after the session. If you are on time, please be willing to make room for any friendly latecomers. What Should I Bring? * Whatever you need to be able to write! * Earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the occasional noise of keyboards. * Keep your laptop charged before the event as it's not always possible to charge everyone at once.

Information and a link to the new site will be posted here when it becomes available. Tell friends and colleagues about the change.
