The Junction
Organizer The Writers Junction
Organizer of Travel Writing Workshop with Erin Byrne & The Voyage Vixens
The Writers Junction is an affordable shared workspace for writers. It’s where writers write. 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. It’s where you can work in splendid isolation, within a supportive community.
