Q & A about the Attic Rooms
What kind of space is it?
The space is a large shared room with two clean, Swedish tables, one for each writer. It's ideal for a writer looking for a private place to write. The studio & desk are yours for the period in which you're writing at the Attic, a space where you can safely leave your books, papers, & writing tools.
How often can I use the studio?
Your studio space is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When there is no Attic class in session in the workshop room, you can use the workshop room for a comfortable place to read or to have meetings.
Can I hook up to the Internet?
Your studio space includes free wireless.
Is the room bright?
Yes. The rooms have lots of sunlight.
How does the rental work?
You rent the space for a fixed monthly period of time, depending on the commitment that's best suited to your writing project or needs.
What's the experience like?
Like this: It's one of those perfect summer days in Portland. You're up early for a walk along the river, then a bike ride to the Attic in the Hawthorne district, where you hide away at your private writing desk & write, & write, & write. What you have in your writing space is a private desk, large windows with lots of light, and quiet time as a writer to think & to write--& even another writer or two working quietly nearby, maybe in the next room (plus free wireless though really you shouldn't be distracting yourself, should you?). And all this with views of the Hawthorne district & downtown. Then a few hours into it you take a break, get some coffee, & talk with a fellow writer about your project--that screenplay or novel, the new poems, the beginnings of short story that came to you three nights ago in a dream. Then, back to your desk...
How do I rent a space?
