Be productive. Be inspired. Build community.
The Writers Studio is a quiet workspace tucked away on the second floor of a beautiful Victorian house in Melrose, MA, which is home to Follow Your Art Community Studios. The Writers Studio features a large writing table and comfortable chairs, bookshelves, and large windows. But it is much more than a space; we are a community of writers. Read on to learn more.
Writers, find the space and community you are looking for.
FYACS is located in the historic heart of Melrose, MA, minutes away from coffee shops, restaurants, and grocery stores—so you can bring in refreshments to keep your writing going.
Highlights:

- Annual Art of Words exhibition you can participate in.
- A public Facebook group, FYACSwriters, to connect with other writers beyond the FYA community.
