Pros and Cons of Renting a Shared Office Space

By Angela Quarles, @AngelaQuarles

Part of the Indie Author Series

I thought I'd delve into something unrelated to writing craft and marketing, and that is--where you write. I recently started renting a shared office space in my town, and it's working out great for me. So I thought I'd discuss the pros and cons, so you can see if it's something that might work for you.

Some of you have a dedicated office in your home and are even able to write it off on your taxes. Some of you find a section of the couch, push off a cat, dog, or kid, and start pounding away on your laptop. Some of you might be like me--I do a lot of my writing at Starbucks.
