Writing Room is the new name for what was previously known as Collage Writing Room and before that as Haringey Literature Live. It was originally just what it calls itself - a large room in a 1970s office block behind Wood Green bus garage, but in the spring of 2020 it went virtual, using Zoom, and has remained online ever since. And the people writing in the "room" are no longer confined to north London, some now live in completely different parts of the country.

Writing Room's new website is at www.writingroom.org.uk and you can contact them at .

Join the Writing Room - a welcoming online home for all creative writers.
