Apostrophe Use
Online I see different placement of the apostrophe in the phrase The Writers Place. Which one is correct? I want to name my website The Writers Place but now I'm confused.
I want it to mean that this site is my place, the place where I write. Thanks.
The Writers Place
or
The Writer's Place
or
The Writers' Place

Hey, In this case the correct form is The Writers' Place. This usage of the apostrophe is called Possessive case or genitive. If you have a singular noun or an irregular plural noun you should add 's .

Hi, pals
Let me say something on this matter:
1) The Writer's Place --> (Singular) The "writer" is the only owner of the place.
2) The Writers' Place --> This "place" belongs to the (plural) "writers"
3) The Writers Place --> This place is due to any kind of writers, not just me, but all writers.
I think in No 3 "writers" is acting as an adject
