As writers, sometimes it is difficult to feel productive. The Inkpot Collective’s Writing Club is a monthly session for writers (and aspiring writers!) to get together and work on their own in a quiet, shared setting. Join us on Sunday, 22nd March from 1pm at The Woodworkers in Belfast. Attendance is free. Register your free ticket here or via Eventbrite.

Shut Up & Write!® hosts free in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. Our goal is to ensure that every writer, regardless of genre or skill level, has access to the community, accountability, and resources they need to be successful in their personal writing goals. Our events use our proven formula: a few minutes of introductions, an hour of focused writing, and a final check-in to share the hour's progress. What to Expect RSVP and please arrive 5 minutes early to get settled. Our host will lead introductions and then everyone will write for a quiet, focused period of time. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. Members often talk about their successes and challenges as writers. Our events are a safe space for writers to work on their craft. No one will read or critique your writing. For more information about our events, visit What Should I Bring? Whatever you need to be able to write! Earbuds if you want to play music.
