ARCHIVE FOR Info

GrubStreet has decided to hold all fall 2020 in-person classes remotely via Zoom video conferencing. To see the full list of all our steps in response to Covid-19, including updates about our space and events click here. 

In partnership with MBK Boston and the Black Joy Project by Thaddeus Miles, we're launching the Black Joy Writing competition. During a time when the news is mostly dispiriting, we want to read true stories about joy – specifically Black joy: moments, scenes, memories, that celebrate Black families, relationships, culture, and history. We are looking for a vivid story that is transporting and meaningful – maybe funny, maybe poignant, but always with joy at its center. Learn more and apply before October 12th.

Teen writers! Check out our upcoming free YAWP Saturday (remote) sessions happening in October. We have workshops that cover a variety of topics such as fiction, personal essay, poetry, and more. Let's get writing! Note: All YAWP Saturdays in Fall 2020 will be held remotely on Zoom. Click here for more information.
