“WriterHouse has such a strong community, but also open and friendly one - the welcome was warm and immediate. It's just wonderful to find a group of like-minded individuals struggling with the same problems, sharing their triumphs. The writing space has a definite feeling of calm and strength — quiet, but not weak. And if I get stuck, I can always find someone in the kitchen, fighting with a similar problem, and the solidarity alone is often enough to get me through.” —SRV
