Make your writing so good, we’d snort it

Bingeworthy Live is a 2-day, in-person workshop for you writers, creators, and business owners who want your writing to pop off the page —
and get forever hooked on doing it.

It's the writing party of the year...

Where your real voice comes through and your wait, did I write that? genius hits.

🚫 No more wishing you wrote like so-and-so.
🚫 No more shutting up the part of you with your best ideas.
🚫 No more stalling because you’re worried it won’t all fit together (I’ve got you).

Time to let out the fearless writing that grabs us by the meatballs, that’s unmistakably you, that says B********tch, CHATGPT COULD NEVER.

Come tap into your unique style, gripping details, and emotional notes that make writing addictive — both to read and to put on the page. You’ll write your hiney off, get to share your work out loud, and walk out with new writer friends and a locked-in creative habit.

And yes, we’ll talk words that sell, AKA copy. Because when you can write that with soul and personality, you’re getting paid to be you.

What could be better?

That is, besides all of the above plus cocktails and dinner with me at a favorite NYC restaurant!*

(*Seats in the private dining room sold out, but the remaining tickets will still get you a seat at our special, dedicated Shrimper table upstairs — all the better for introverts — and you'll get to join the whole group for cocktail hour before dinner. There might even be someone who wants to trade with you.)

Why come?

shrimp1
You want all your words to sound like YOU-you, not “writer” you.
shrimp1
You’re jonesing for a dose of IRL connection: that “holy sh*t, these are my people” magic and idea-ping-pong energy you can’t get from a laptop screen.
shrimp1
You’re sick of second-guessing every sentence before you even put it on the page.
shrimp1
You’ve got a half-written book scattered across ten Google Docs and an up-at-3-am fear you’ll never finish it.
shrimp1
You’ve thought, “I know I have a personality. Why won’t it f*cking come out on the page?”
shrimp1
You want permission — to go from “Hmmm....can I say that?” to “Hell yeah I can say that!" to "I SAID WHAT I SAID"
shrimp1
You want to write words that make people crush on you, buy from you, share you, stalk you, want to wear you like a skin suit.
shrimp1
You need a lightning bolt of inspiration.
shrimp1
The AI slop-iverse is eroding your will to create and making you feel dead inside, and you want to feel ALIVE again.
shrimp1
You want writing to give you the dopamine hit you usually get from your phone.
shrimp1
You want to leave so fired up, you’re still banging out material on the plane home. (Or subway — what up, New Yorkers?)

LEAVE WITH SKILLS THAT’LL CHANGE YOUR WRITING, BUSINESS, AND LIFE. ← FACTS.

MASTER THE ART OF THE START

Call it jumper cables for your creativity. Starting can be a beast, and you’ll finally learn how to get going without spiraling — whether it’s that email, essay, sales page, book intro, or stubborn chapter you keep dodging.

MAKE WRITING FUN AGAIN (OR FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME)

Kick your inner critic out of the driver’s seat and let joy take the wheel. Writing — including for your business — can become your favorite obsession.

WRITE WITH POWER + PERSONALITY

Inject storytelling, flair, and copycat-proof details that make your writing unputdownable and your voice undeniable.

SHAKE OFF THE STIFFNESS

Do your words come out all professor-y? Like a college application essay on “overcoming adversity”? We’ll loosen you up so your writing sounds human — breezy, even.

EASY CHEATS FOR STRUCTURE STRUGGLES

Got a dozen Google Docs that don’t talk to each other? Ideas that stall halfway through because you can’t figure out how they fit together? What if you didn’t have to? (Cue chorus of angels.)

IDEAS ON DEMAND

Learn to mine your life for stories and topics you could talk about all day — the kinds that hook readers and link naturally to an offer, a call to action, or a point.

MAGIC EMAIL POWERS (ON TAP)

Newsletters, launches, sales, nurture — all of it. Learn to write emails that sound like you, sell without ick, and spark those “Just bought!” and “I needed this today” replies (the best kind).

THE HUMAN TOUCH

Write so people feel seen and sense you behind the words. The kind of resonance no formula or AI tool can fake. (Suck it, Chat — though you will learn how to make it your b*tch editor and idea mule.)

A ROCK-SOLID CREATIVE HABIT

Get in a groove that makes writing the addiction you couldn’t quit even if you tried. Any day you skip it, you’ll feel like you haven’t brushed your teeth.

Laura Outside

HAVE WE MET?

Hi! I’m Laura Belgray, founder of Talking Shrimp, co-creator of The Copy Cure with Marie Forleo, and national bestselling author of Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F'ing Worst — a Goodreads Choice Awards Finalist, a Best of Audible selection, and a great f'ing read. I also identify as an unapologetic lazy person.

Back in the day, I wrote TV spots for clients like NBC, Fandango, and Bravo, and now help entrepreneurs and creatives cash in on their unique personalities, become binge-worthy, and get paid to be 100% themselves. Because getting paid to be you is the holy grail of work.

I’ve taught four sold-out writing workshops in Italy. Every year, attendees (and would-be attendees who couldn’t get there) begged me to teach one in New York. Seven years later…here we are! I’ll make sure it was worth the wait.

One thing you should know: this could become a tradition, but it might be a special one-off. If I decide to do it again, it’s likely the price will go up. That’s how we do.

FAQs

Where does the Bingeworthy Live Writing Retreat take place?

We’ll be at the fabulous Flaweless Space at 12 White Street in Tribeca.

Where should I stay?

The venue is right near the subway, but if you want to be in short walking distance, look for a hotel in or near Tribeca. (Borders on Soho)

What should I wear?

Whatever the f you want! I spiral when I'm packing for an event where there'll be...y'know...outfits. 
Wear what you feel good in. Jeans and a t-shirt or sweater, prom dress, tux and tails — s'all good.There'll be a dinner, but you don't have to dress up for it unless you want to and that's your jam. 

Can I bring my significant other or business partner?

Of course! Just purchase a second ticket through this same page.

Will I get Laura’s feedback on my writing?

It’s a group setting, so Laura can’t give dedicated, individual feedback — but there’ll be opportunities for small-group peer feedback and to read your work out loud. (In which case, Laura always has something constructive to say.)

If you want 1:1 time with Laura, make sure to snap up a VIP ticket before they’re gone.

Refund policy

Since this is an intimate event with limited spots, tickets are nonrefundable. Like Hamilton. In case of any travel snafus, we recommend arriving in NYC on or before March 20th if you’re flying. Make it an extended vacay or work-cation!
