A Look Inside

  • 716 W. Main Street

    Our shiny, new address! We're located at 716 W. Main Street in Peoria, IL.

  • Conversation Pit

    Our version of the 1960s conversation pit includes comfortable chairs to settle into and write. And our rolltop desk might inspire you to write some poetry.

  • Desks!

    Our desks are spacious to give you ample room for laptops, outlines, coffee... the important stuff.

  • Carpet Lounging!

    Lounge on a floor pillow and gaze up at a lithograph by Eve Plumb, otherwise known as Jan Brady.

  • Is this a "Murder"?

    A small cluster of desks should be called a "murder," in our opinion. But not in an actual murder-y way.

  • Write in Style!

    Our chaise lounge pairs nicely with our loaner lap desks, if we do say so ourselves.

  • So Many Details

    Fueled by imagination, you never know what you'll find at My Writing Shed.

  • Supplies & Resources

    We try to anticipate our writers' needs and offer a curated selection of resources. Some are to borrow in-shed (reference books, scissors, stapler, tape, etc.) while others are to take with you (pens, notebooks, pencils, and more).

  • In-Shed Perks

    We have fans, lamps, fidgeters, plant buddies, and more ready to take back to your workstation. It's kind of a secret, but our plant buddies have names.

  • Hydration & Snacks

    Our hydration station has a variety of hot and cold beverage options, with bins loaded with a medley of snacks.

  • Take & Leave a Note

    Need encouragement? Want to support your fellow writers? We've got you! We've built a spot to take and leave a note.

  • Outlets

    We don't actually watch TV on this beauty from 1972, but the charging station on top is a convenient place to leave your phone when it's a distraction. It's also where we charge some of our loaner equipment. Rest assured - we do have outlets near all of our workstations.
