About the Writers’ Room of Boston

Our Mission

The Writers’ Room of Boston is a welcoming and supportive community and workspace for writers in all genres. The Room is a sanctuary that provides a quiet, secure, and accessible space in which to write and is open 24/7, 365 days a year. It also helps writers at all stages in their writing careers access the necessary resources and community to expand and promote their work.

No serious writer is turned away for financial reasons.
