Do you need a quiet place to write?

Sometimes it can be hard to find a quiet space to write – away from family, internet and the distractions of home. Our writing rooms are situated in Sydney in the beautiful and peaceful Writing NSW building in Callan Park, Lilyfield, and are a great place to go to find that much-needed quiet and concentration.

These rooms are located on the first floor and unfortunately are not wheelchair accessible. If you would like to book an accessible writing space on our ground floor, please contact us. For information about getting to Writing NSW, please visit our Location page.

Looking to hire a space in our building for meetings or events? See the list of available rooms on our Venue Hire page.

There are two writing spaces available for members to book in our building, as well as a weekly drop-in space:

Casual Writing Room (short-term)

Casual Writing Room is a members-only space and is free of charge. 

Shared Writers’ Space

Shared Writers’ Space is dedicated for writers who would like their own desk area available 7 days per week.

Members’ Thursday Writing Retreat (drop-in)

Members’ Thursday Writing Retreat is a weekly opportunity at Writing NSW for members to find a quiet place to write. 

“Having a desk space at Writing NSW was integral for making progress with my novel. It became a sanctuary for me, with a window overlooking a Magnolia tree. Being surrounded by beautiful Callan Park was perfect for long walks to think through problems, and the Writing NSW team were always so friendly and accommodating.”
– Emily, Writing NSW member
