We visited nine of our favorite Brooklyn writers in their homes in order to find out how they do what they do. Maybe a little part of us was hoping there would be some magic key to their success, a key that we could copy and then use to open the door to untold literary powers! What we found instead was that everyone has their own writing quirks and what works for one writer doesn’t work for another. Which, we suppose, we should have known already.

We also learned that these writers live in some seriously enviable homes. So maybe that’s the key? Location location location? There’s something to think about.
