Being a writer in New York City is challenging but finding a quiet place to work can be even harder. We founded Brooklyn Writers Space fifteen years ago to provide an affordable sanctuary where writers can turn off their phones, ignore the dishes in the sink, and do the hard work of writing. The communal lounge and kitchen provide a place to take a break from the writing and chat with other members about work and life. BWS has served over 1800 writers who have published countless articles, books, dissertations, poems, stage and screen plays.
