WriterHouse :: Workspace, Writing classes, and Community in Charlottesville, Va.

Write in August

WriterHouse has a special offer for you or the writers in your life. For the month of August, write in the cool quiet of WriterHouse for half price. For just $50 you will be entitled to a non-reserved space (any chair available) for as many hours as you want to work during the thirty-one days of August. That's only $1.61 a day! You will have your own code for the electronic lock for 24-7 access. As if that isn't enough, we'll also stock the freezer with ice cream bars for the whole month.

There are some qualifications for this offer. First, you must be a member of WriterHouse ($50 annual membership) and you must fill out an application for writing space. If your application is accepted, you must sign our resident space agreement and abide by the WriterHouse resident rules.

Membership forms and applications for writing space can be downloaded from our website, or you may apply in person during open hours (Saturday & Sunday 2-5pm, Monday & Wednesday 6-9pm, and Tuesday & Thursday 10am-2pm).

Space is limited for the "Write in August" promotion and priority will be given to those who are already members of WriterHouse.
