History
Founded in 2005 by loving and dedicated owner Joy Parisi, who can often be found working in either the Manhattan or Williamsburg space. Paragraph was created by writers for writers, is presently staffed by writers, and seeks to create an oasis of tranquility, encouragement, and comfort away from the distractions of home. More than just a set of desks, Paragraph is a community of novelists, short story writers, journalists, editors, technical writers, memoirists, screenwriters, playwrights, and writers of all other mediums and genres imaginable at various levels of their careers. This community can often serve as a support network that many writers find missing when they work from the confines of their bedroom or home office. Our community is leveraged in the form of monthly events: readings, in-house editor sessions, workshops to refine craft, agent roundtables and more.
