ARCHIVE FOR Mia Narciso

The April 2020 edition of "Writing Life Essentials," a monthly hand-curated list of contests, grants, scholarships, submissions calls, and awards, with a focus on opportunities that are at least one of the following: local, free to apply, and/or committed to celebrating and supporting writers from historically marginalized communities. We do the research, so you have more time for what matters: the writing. Or, preparing April Fool’s jokes. That’s important too.

Our Memoir Incubator Program is an MFA-level course, spanning 12 months, for ten memoir writers interested in drafting, developing or revising their memoir drafts, a comprehensive craft-based study of the memoir form, and, as appropriate, a thoughtful introduction to the memoir publishing market. 

In light of the unforeseen circumstances Covid-19 has caused for so many, the Memoir Incubator deadline has been EXTENDED to March 27th,  2020, at 11:59PM. Learn more and apply here.

GrubStreet classes have gone remote, but if you need a little more flexibility in your schedule, sign up for our Online Classes. What's the difference between our "remote" and "online" classes? “Online” classes differ from remote classes because they are hosted entirely on our online learning platform, Wet Ink, and have no live or scheduled meetings

Take your writing to the next level with a Master Class at GrubStreet! We offer advanced workshops in poetry, essays, memoirs, novels and more. Check out our course listings:

• Master Personal Essay with Instructor Xujun Eberlein
