Founded in 1988, the Writers’ Room of Boston is an urban writers’ retreat committed to providing a quiet, affordable, and secure workspace for emerging and established writers. Members can choose to meet regularly for readings, community gatherings and events. Periodic readings of the members’ work  are organized and open to the public.

The Writers’ Room is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization governed by our members and a board of directors, which is comprised of Room members and community leaders. The Room is supported by affordable monthly membership dues and contributions from both public and private sources. In an effort to minimize the cost to our members, outside funders provide a significant portion of the operating expenses of the Room.

The Writers’ Room of Boston is committed to supporting local writers of limited means through our annual Writers Fellowship Program, which gives four juried writers full access to the workspace for one year. We are especially grateful to the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the Boston Cultural Council for their support of the Fellowship Program.
