The Writing Barn has listened to your requests, Austinites! Throughout recent free programming, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming some new local faces to the Barn, and many have asked, “Can I come here to just write for a day?” We thought that was a GREAT idea, and we’re
excited to announce our latest daylong Write Away Day on Sunday, February 8th, 9:00AM-5:00PM.
For just a $15 fee, we’re opening up The Writing Barn and screened-in front porch to anyone looking for a peaceful place among the deer and trees of south Austin to write for the day. The Barn will be open from 9:00AM-5:00PM, and attendees ha
ve the option to stay through lunch or the entire day. Writers need solitude, and support from likeminded folks too! That’s why we’ve structured our Write Away Day as follows:
- 9:00-9:30AM – Writing Barn personnel will lead introductions and all participants will state their writing goals for the day.
- 9:30AM-12:00PM – Silent writing.
- 12:00 – 1:00PM – Bring your own lunch! Group discussion over lunch.
- 1:00 – 5:00PM – Silent writing.
Drinks and snacks will be provided throughout the day. Please bring your own lunch. 
This is the very first Write Away Day of hopefully many more to come throughout the year. Stay tuned for upcoming Write Away Days as well as Write Away Overnights!
Fees for Write Away Days will go towards funding our free programs, and attendee scholarships. If you’re interested in reserving a spot for February 8th’s Write Away Day, please email Lily at wbprogramassistant@gmail.com and an invoice will be issued. Limited to 18 writers, first-come first-served basis!
