Description: Quieter than Starbucks, but more fun than the local library, cleaner than your extra bedroom or home office and more affordable than your gym, THE UPTOWN WRITER'S SPACE provides Chicago writers with a dedicated workspace and the supportive community you'd find in a writing program or artistic residency.

The idea for the UPTOWN WRITER'S SPACE was born, then cryogenically frozen while one of its founders was thinking - rather than merely breathing (as Buddha would have you do) - at a beginning level meditation workshop in 2004. More than eighteen months later, however, an article in the New York Times strangely inspiring Sunday Styles section described similar writing spaces in Manhattan. Raising six young boys between them and hopes of peace, quiet and writing time a distant dream, Julie Saltzman and Susan Karp set about creating their dream work space in Chicago.
