Community Successes

Publications, Awards, Fellowships, & More!

For over 25 years, GrubStreet has celebrated and amplified the extraordinary successes of our talented writing community. In the past five years alone, the GrubStreet community has achieved nearly 2,000 publications across various genres, including novels, essays, short stories, memoirs, poems, and more, which includes a remarkable count of nearly 500 book publications. But that's not all! During this time, our members have also been nominated and honored with close to 200 awards or prizes and earned nearly 100 prestigious fellowships and residencies, among other significant accomplishments.

Whether publishing their debut stories, winning awards, securing book deals, or reaching new heights in their writing careers, we share our community's successes weekly in our “Spreading the Love” newsletter on Thursdays and monthly on the GrubWrites blog.

Plus, you can celebrate our community's success live at our monthly Grubbie Debut Author series, where first-time authors, whose time at GrubStreet helped shape their book, launch their debut books on our Writers’ Stage, as well as many other events at the Center for Creative Writing throughout the year.
