This Shut Up & Write is hosted in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, with both Dutch as international attendees. The spoken language is English. Most attendees are creative writers in all genres (short stories, novel, poetry, theatre, graphic novel, spoken word, memoir, etc.). However if you’re gasping for some focussed writing time on other stuff (blog, article, paper, newsletter, etc.) feel free to join us. Also, we offer a space for writers of all skill levels to work on their craft. So whether you are a seasoned writer or a beginner who aspires to write and wants to explore the craft, you are most welcome. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done. SOME IMPORTANT DETAILS: This is not a writing class! It just offers you space and time to sit down and work on your own writing while in the company of other writers. Keep in mind that Shut Up & Write events is about doing the writing, so we don’t share what we’ve written or critique each other. Shut Up & Write offers a safe space for both experienced as aspired writers. Please be respectful to your fellow attendee and don’t give unsolicited advice. We support and are supported by the non profit Shut Up & Write!® and follow their code of conduct.
