The Toronto Writers' Centre
is a 3,200 square foot, air-conditioned, writing haven, divided
into a Quiet Room, Lounge, Kitchen and Board Room.
QUIET ROOM
The Quiet Room features 28 work spaces, each of which contains
a desk, chair, lamp and electrical outlets - the perfect distraction-free
writing area. Pagers must be switched off. The sound and vibrations
on mobile phones and blackberry-type devices must be switched
off. No calls may be made or received in the Quiet Room; however
text messaging is permitted. MP3 players and other players of
music may be used, provided that other writers cannot hear your
music. Unless you have purchased a reserved desk, work spaces
cannot be reserved and are available on a first come, first served
basis. Dictionaries, thesauruses and style manuals are also housed
in the Quiet Room.
LOUNGE
Clear your mind and relax in our warm, inviting Lounge while
you print off your work from our laser printer. Browse through
our selection of newspapers and magazines, especially the Times
Literary Supplement and The National Post. Pour a coffee and
chat with other writers. The Lounge also contains a phone equipped
for outgoing, local calls only.
KITCHEN
Store your lunch or snacks in the refrigerator or heat them up
in our microwave and toaster-oven. Mugs, dishes and cutlery are
also available - but please place them in our dishwasher after
use! Large recycle bins is also available for all your rough
drafts.
Lockers are also located in the Kitchen and are available at
an additional cost of $15.00 plus GST per month. They are big
enough for those writers wishing to leave their materials on-site,
but smaller than a large dog. Sorry, TWC cannot accept responsibility
for lost or stolen items.
BOARD ROOM
Need a place to conduct interviews, client meetings or collaborate
with other writers? TWC members may use our spacious board-room
with its two white-boards, when it is not otherwise in use.
