We’re glad you’re here.
Located in a fabulous space proudly attached to Lit. On Fire Books in the West Main District, My Writing Shed, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit created by writers, for writers, serves Central Illinois by offering space in Peoria to create and connect, learn and grow, and share their experience and work with others.

We are a recognized tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which means your donations are tax deductible.
We are funded through a combination of donations and pay-what-you-can writership subscriptions. It’s important to us that we are affordable to our writers, and gifts from generous supporters, such as yourself, help us do that.
Everything we do is with our writers in mind. All donations go towards our mission of supporting our local writing community.
