Office Closure—Due to the upcoming snowstorm GrubStreet Center for Creative Writing will be closed for in-person use Saturday 1/24, Sunday 1/25, and Monday 1/26.
Your generosity funds scholarships and free programs, allowing more teen and adult writers to participate in creative writing workshops at our new center in the Seaport, in neighborhoods around Boston, and online.
