Alumni-Organized Initiatives
Check out some of the amazing events and literary initiatives that have grown out of our alumni community!
Tell-All Boston is Real Stories Read Live. We are Boston’s only live-on-stage literary reading series dedicated to the craft of memoir and personal essay. Award-winning writers, best-selling authors, and emerging stars share first-person stories that make meaning from lived experience. Tell-All Boston is brought to you and curated by the alumni of GrubStreet’s Memoir Incubator and Essay Incubator.
Dead Darlings is a blog devoted to celebrating the novel, from the process of creation through revision, promotion and publication. The authors, alumni from the Novel Incubator, have gathered to provide support for all novelists: aspiring, developing or successful. The process of writing a novel can be at turns frustrating or exhilarating. It can induce hope or despair. It is, above all things, a very long haul. So pull up a chair and come murder some darlings with us.
Craft on Draft is a reading series created and managed by alumni of GrubStreet's Novel Incubator program and devoted to great fiction—and the mechanics behind it. Three authors read and discuss their work, plus that of one lucky audience member. So grab a drink, a page of your own writing, and come craft your own draft.
