The Toronto Writers’ Centre is a 400-square-foot, air-conditioned writing haven, divided into a quiet room (with lounge & kitchen facility), and a boardroom.

Quiet Rooms

The Quiet Room has 8 workspaces, each of which contains a desk, chair, lamp and electrical outlets—the perfect distraction-free writing area. All mobile phone sounds must be switched off. Text messages are allowed but no voice calls. You’re welcome to use other music sources provided that other writers cannot hear them. Work spaces cannot be reserved and are available on a first come, first served basis. The quiet room is well stocked with dictionaries, thesauruses and style manuals.

Lounge & Kitchen

Clear your mind and relax in our quiet lounge while you print off your work from our laser printer. Browse through our selection of newspapers and magazines, or pour a coffee or tea.

Store your lunch or snacks in the refrigerator or heat them up in our microwave or toaster. Mugs, dishes and cutlery are also available — but please clean and dry them after use! A recycle bin and shredder are also available for your rough drafts.

Sorry, TWC cannot accept responsibility for lost or stolen items.

Boardroom

Need a place to conduct interviews, client meetings or collaborate with other writers? TWC members may use our 6-seater boardroom with its whiteboard, when it has not been rented out. Here you can “talk story” to your heart’s content.
