Sydney Writers' Room
Space overview
Shared solitude in the heart of the city. Inspired by the legendary New York Writers’ Room, the Sydney Writers’ Room has been operating as a writer-run initiative since 2007.
The Sydney Writers’ Room exists to provide an affordable writer-dedicated workspace in the heart of the city.
The Sydney Writers’ Room is now a set of adjacent office spaces occupying a quiet wing on the fourth floor of UTS Building 5B 1-59 Quay Street, Haymarket. It is accessible for room members 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Accessible via light rail, train, bus and bicycle.

Thanks to Create NSW, the room (now a set of adjacent shared office spaces) has moved to the fourth floor of the former Law Faculty building at UTS on Quay Street, next door to Paddy’s Markets and the Darling Square precinct, a two minute walk from the lightrail, and a five minute walk to Central Station.
