writing room

Where manuscripts emerge

A writing room is a space dedicated to writing, whether a personal study where an author works or a room in a hotel or club furnished with desks, stationery, and other materials for correspondence.

The term evokes an older era when travelers needed designated spaces to compose letters: She retreated to the writing room to finish her novel.
