The Writing Barn

Situated on 7.5 wooded acres in Austin, Texas, The Writing Barn is a space for writers, creatives, and those looking for a serene getaway. Whether retreating at the Book House, The Cabin, or attending one of the many events and workshops held at The Writing Barn, you will have every opportunity to retreat, create, and celebrate.

Founded by author Bethany Hegedus, The Writing Barn is much more than a physical space. Since expanding our offerings online, we’ve grown into a worldwide community of writers journeying the literary life together. Our classes and intensives work in tandem with our sister program, The Courage to Create, a community of and for writers with exclusive submissions opportunities, industry insight events, and more.
