With reluctance, and much sadness, the board of The Writers’ Room has decided that, in light of the danger posed by COVID-19, we must temporarily close our doors to all users for the foreseeable future. This decision was made out of the deepest concern for the health and safety all our members.

While we still intend to proceed with our fellowship program, we are extending the deadline for fellowship applications until such time as the Room is once again open for routine use. All applications received throughout this period of crisis will be retained for consideration at that time.

If you would like to support The Writers’ Room of Boston through this crisis, as we have suspended our regular membership dues, you can find a link to donate here. Your generosity will be greatly appreciated. Even during ordinary times, our membership dues cover only a portion of our costs of operation; every writer in the Room is subsidized in whole or in part through arts grants and donations from arts advocates like you.

We hope that this crisis will pass quickly. But however long it lasts, please be safe and stay well.
