Applying to fellowships, contests, scholarships and other creative writing opportunities can be intimidating, especially the first time around. Come join us for some detailed tips and strategies on how to submit a strong application. We will also have ample time for a question-and-answer style discussion to clarify the application process for GrubStreet’s Emerging Writer Fellowship as well as many other opportunities. Once you understand the basic elements of an application and what's expected of applicants, you’ll have the building blocks to successfully tackle most applications in the future! RSVP here.

These are all authors whose time in GrubStreet’s classes, conferences, and/or events helped shape their books in some important way. In candid conversations with fellow authors, we’ll hear how these Grubbies went from aspiring to published, what inspired and sustained their stories, and how each book developed and changed along the way.
