New Manhattan Writers Space: Perfect for Moms Who Need a Quiet Place
The Village Quill, a new writer's workspace in Tribeca, provides a haven for a number of work-at-home writers with kids. For the monthly cost of a parking garage, parents can get away from the distractions of home and work more efficiently.
NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) May 16, 2005 -- When Hilary Reyl, a devoted mother of twin girls, needed a few hours a day to work on her novel, she joined The Village Quill, a new writers work space in Tribeca.
Located in a historic loft on 106 Franklin St., The Village Quill provided Ms. Reyl with a spacious desk, high-speed Internet access, and a lounge and library.
The Quill is a space of sanity and focus for me," says Ms. Reyl, a resident of Tribeca. No one turns off my computer mid-sentence or climbs on me. Its allowed me to separate work and life with my two year-olds in a way that makes both more fulfilling."
Since it opened in January, 2005, The Village Quill has been a haven for a number of work-at-home writers with kids, including journalists from The New York Times, published poets, and television screenwriters.
In a fast-paced city with more writers and publishers than any other in the world, Manhattans legendary shoe-box sized apartments and cash-strapped public libraries have often posed a challenge to a freelancers productivity. And for many of New Yorks writers, the local Starbucks just doesnt help their all-important need for focus.
At The Village Quill, writers can get away from the cramped walls of their apartments – or the distractions of their children – and work more efficiently in a place dedicated to the literary success of its members. And for less than the cost of Manhattan parking space!
In addition, members often meet to discuss their work with peers at The Village Quill. Whether through Quill-sponsored happy hours or informal talks in the lofts lounge area, writers get both the solitude they need and the sense of community they crave.
To build a community of creative professionals, The Village Quill also hosts monthly art openings, regular author readings, as well as writers workshops for emerging authors.
