Work at Home/Co-Work Locations:

• Co-Loft
  From blackboards to white walls to modern fixtures and old fashioned friendliness, The CoLoft is blocks from the beach (for when you need a stretching break) but close enough to local coffee spots to keep your head off the keyboard (or caffeinate from their kitchenette). Multiple pricing platforms make this easy on the wallet for the day ($35.00) or the year ($495.00.) With full AV capabilities, meeting space, community tables or solo spots you can socialize or retreat, all under one roof.
• The Writer’s Junction
  What do you call a place where everyone has a witty, contagious sense of humor, an abiding affection for Jon Stewart, multiple book titles under their belt and regular blogging privileges on Huff Post? Yup, it’s The Writers Junction. Cruise into this pen den and get busy writing your future best seller, or grab one of several meeting spaces and workshop a TV treatment with your partner. TWJ has memberships starting at just $99.00 buckaroos.
• The Writer’s Room
  For those living closer to the Hollywood sign than a 6-foot swell, The Writers Room is more than a space to “get it done”, as they say on their site. Enjoy a speaker series and reference library among the east side lit pack. No kitchenette but you’re welcome to bring your Joe, a laptop and good vibes; this cozy outpost is for optimists only. Membership is flexible – easy in, easy out – and starts at $65.00 for a week-long pass.
