A little love from the New York Times City Room blog:
The Brooklyn Creative League was started by Erin Carney and Neil Carlson, two stay-at-home parents who opened the 11,000-square-foot space on President Street and Fourth Avenue last April to provide a creative work space without the distractions of working in a living room. But they see their site as more than just a place to have access to services at a shared group rate.

Ginny Wiehardt, About.com’s Fiction Writing Guide, has a nice post on Brooklyn Creative League’s creative writers. Here’s what writer, artist, and musician Summer Pierre had to say:
“I knew that I needed a space to go and be with other people because I tend to whither in isolation, but I was worried about the kind of time I could commit to an office space and the kind of rent I could consistently afford…I love the new and open atmosphere at BCL. It makes me want to go there and get to work.”
