Shut Up & Write is owned and operated by Writing Partners, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Hosting free, in-person and online writing events for writers all over the world. The goal is to ensure that every writer – regardless of genre or skill level – has access to the resources, community, and accountability that they need to be successful in their personal writing goals.
I started the chapter in Louisville, Kentucky in 2019. Then became the host of the Chicago chapter in 2022-2025. By the end of my time as a volunteer host, the Chicago chapter became a program at Harold Washington Library.
