Shut Up & Write!® at Ike Box

Join us at Ike Box for some focused writing time in person! All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area.

When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.

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!

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.

Location
Ike Box
299 Cottage Street NE
Salem, Oregon 97301

I will attempt to secure a large table and have some kind of signage so you can find the group. This is the first in-person meeting after years of dormancy, so I hope there is still interest! If we start getting a good group again, we may have to rethink the location or reserve the community room.
