The Writer's Block is an independent bookseller, publisher, and literacy educator in
downtown Las Vegas.
The Writer's Block was established in 2014 by

Similar in layout to the educational area behind 826NYC's Superhero Supply Store, Codex also featured movable walls, tables and desks. It was used for free writing workshops for children ages 5-18, in addition to readings, signings, and ongoing series such a
