THE 24-HOUR ROOM |
The 24-hour Room began in the isolation of the pandemic as a balm for lonely writers bereft of their coffee shops, writers rooms and artists colonies. An incubator for stories and a safe harbor for storytellers, The 24-Hour Room offers fellowship, structure, solutions, motivation, accountability and intellectual sustenance. Its central feature, a silent, communal virtual writing space known as the Studio, is completely free. Other offerings of The 24-Hour Room include a growing library of Craft essays and prompts, a manuscript swap board, the Moby-Dick Slow Marathon, our 24/7 Zoom Lounge, open mics and bulletin boards.

We are not currently a 501(c)3 organization, but we make the site and its live programs available to all at no cost. You may be able to deduct contributions from your taxes as a writing expense.
MEMBERSHIP vs SUSTAINING MEMBERSHIP |
Inspired by NPR and the Met, we have adopted a pay-what-you-wish Sustaining Membership system. The 24-Hour Room is funded entirely by voluntary donations, which enable us to make the space free to all, regardless of their resources. The 24-Hour Room encourages regular users who can afford to do so to become Sustaining Members at any level of support that fits their budget. We are grateful for every dollar!
