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 at the 7th floor of The central library Amsterdam on Wednesday mornings.
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 real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:30 am - Quick introductions
10:45 am- Timer starts: write for 1 hour
11:45 am- The End: chat, take off, or keep writing
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (I’ll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries!
What Should I Bring?
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block the cafe’s overhead music or the occasional conversation by other patrons.
Please come with your devices pre-charged, since we probably won't be always sitting somewhere with charging possibility.
Other Important Details:
If you haven't been to the library yet, you may need a few minutes to set up the Wifi connection through the publicroam app (explanation signs are on every table).
Although compulsory consumption is not required, bringing own drinks and food is officially prohibited.
A note about the format
We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you at the 7th floor Cafe of the central library Amsterdam!
