In this comprehensive guide to the best places to read and write while in Los Angeles, author Juliet C. Obodo details a myriad cafe options in search of the perfect place to sip and savor while you pen your next novel. If there is one thing that is vital for a successful writing experience in the portable world of laptops and lattes, it is a workspace where you can actually work! What began with one writer?s experience during construction on her building, and a need to escape in order to produce her next book, has become the Writer?s Retreat series. Created with a keen eye for what you need to write/read/study/blog with gusto (and caffeine), this book will help you navigate Los Angeles. Focusing on an affordable budget for writers, bloggers, and students, there is something here for everyone. Highlighting cafe hours, locations and specialties and noting which times are just right for uninterrupted productivity, Writer?s Retreat Los Angeles will help you to find what you are looking for: peace and quiet so you can prosper on the page. The bonus suggestions of barista specialties and tasty treats to accompany your best seller in progress will give you that boost you will need to succeed. Wi-Fi access is also listed, as are those small shops that only take cash so you can arrive prepared. No matter what your retreat requirements may be, Writer's Retreat Los Angeles has something for you. In addition to the cafe selections that are thoughtfully divided by which part of sprawling Los Angeles County you are in: East, West, North, South or Central, you will find suggestions for affordable food options, parks, museums, recommended indie bookstores and even the best bars to visit for an L.A. cocktail. There is also a section on etiquette and time-frames you know, for those novellas written in a single sitting. So grab a cup of Joe with your Writer's Retreat in hand and head to your new favorite place!
