The clubhouse
A 1943 bungalow in Rosedale. Wooden desks for deep focus, round tables for discussion, windows onto a garden of tropical plants.
The calendar
Every ATX Writing Club event, every workshop, every author conversation — included, not ticketed.
The pantry
Coffee, wine, beer, liquor and snacks, stocked continuously and never billed. Great work runs on good fuel.

Start my application →In their words
The work changes. The company compounds.
“I’m part of a whole community of people who care about writing and care about me.”
“The Rosedale Society puts the right people in the right space at the right time.”
“Being a member of such a highly accomplished group motivates me to meet what once felt like unrealistic goals. It's as though I'm back in graduate school, but it's self-directed.”
“There’s a lot to love about The Rosedale community, but I think it’s all summed up by the dinners. Everybody brings something, and we drag all the chairs and tables into one big room. Then the wine and conversation flow until the candles burn down to almost nothing.”
“Joining the Rosedale Society has given me incredible opportunities to share ideas with creators who take their work seriously and aren’t afraid to ask hard questions.”

The rules protect the reason you came.
01 / 03Rule one
No phone or video calls.
The rule people ask about most. This is a clubhouse for creative work, not an office. If you need to take a call, you step outside like everyone else.
02 / 03Rule two
No monitor set-ups.
No second screens, no docking stations, no desk you have quietly colonised. The clubhouse stays a clubhouse.
03 / 03Rule three
No guests.
Membership is the point. The reason you can speak freely here is that everyone in earshot was vetted.
Who it is for
Serious about the work, and about the company.
Novelists, painters, founders, journalists, composers — the discipline is beside the point.
