SoA Community Hub | Shut Up & Write! ®

Join us this November for a writing focused Community Hub event at our London office on Bedford Row.
Amaia Robertson Nogues from Shut Up & Write! ®, will facilitate a morning of writing. Shut Up & Write! ® is a nonprofit that brings writers together to build consistency, beat procrastination, and finally make progress on their projects.
Whether you’re writing a novel, finishing a dissertation, or tackling daily creative work, our free in-person and online writing sessions connect you with a global network of writers who show up, write, and succeed.
This event is structured around a silent writing period, so remember to bring headphones if you’d like to minimise background noise.
Places are limited and subject to availability.
This event is free to SoA Members. Not a member? sign up here with our special #SoAatHome offer and get 20% off for the first year using the offer code: SOAATHOME20.
