Open House this Saturday, February 20!!

We're OPEN! Join us for an Open House Saturday, February 20, 2010. 10am-6pm.



Remember how we had great opening rates for founding members?  Well, we still do.


What is it?
An affordable shared workspace for writers.
  It's where you'll find the quiet of a library, the society of a coffee shop, the focus of a daily office, and the camaraderie of a private club. 

When is it?
Open Saturday, February 20, 2010 from 10am-6pm.  And every day after that.  


Where is it?
1001 Colorado Avenue
Santa Monica, CA 90401
On the corner of 10th Street & Colorado Avenue.  Park behind our building or on the street.


Why is it?
Because, as a writer, sometimes you need solitude, and sometimes you need company.  At The Writers Junction you get both.


Writing is hard.  Come make it easier.

Sneak Peek Week

We're working hard to meet our deadline, so that you can come here and meet your deadlines, too.
Check back this week every day for a covert photo of the space during sneak peek week!

The Genesis Of The Junction

A few years ago as my sister Eileen and I were talking, we both wished we had a better place to write.  Somewhere where the distractions of home couldn't reach you: a place where you could work in a quiet room among other writers and get inspired by their dedication, just as they would be inspired by yours.

Then, as a cure for the necessary and sometimes mind-numbing isolation that is required to be productive as a writer, you'd walk out into the lounge and take a break. There you could grab a coffee and a little nosh, and talk to other writers about problems in your second act. You'd actually become friends with some of them. You'd start a writers group, and organize events where great writers and artists share their work and pass on their wisdom.

And suddenly you'd have set your life up to be a more productive writer and you'd be enjoying every minute of it because you are part of a community that supports you when you struggle and celebrates you in your successes, big and small.

In our minds it sounded awesome.

But we couldn't find anything like it in Los Angeles.

So we built it ourselves.

And we invite all writers to join us - from newbies to seasoned pros, from novelists to screenwriters to poets to copywriters.  If you are serious about being productive, we want you to be part of our community.

We're officially opening in January, but if you join now, you'll be a founding member.  You can come early and use the space, plus you get a huge deal on membership rates.

Just click here for founding member rates and membership info.  Then fill out an application.  We'll get right back to you.

Kerouac's Got Nothing On Us

My husband and I were just at a wedding at the eclectic and intriguing Museum of Architectural Artifacts in Chicago.  The creative bride and groom set up an old-fashioned typewriter set up for the guest book.  We are so stealing adopting this idea for The Writers Junction.
