As always, scholarships are available for all of the offerings below:

November 5th & 6th

• Compassionate Nonfiction: Writing About Parents with Katie Bannon
• Get Those Gears ...

Dear GrubStreet Community,
 
We would like to acknowledge that the past week has been difficult for many in our community. The New York Times piece published last Tuesday has generated a wide range of opinions, questions, emotions, and concerns.

The Boston Globe asks: "Can the Seaport’s new literary hub make the district feel less standoffish?" We think so! Read the full piece here to learn more about GrubStreet’s new home with Porter Square Books and Mass Poetry in the Seaport. 

Join Porter Square Books and Grubstreet on October 12th at 7PM (ET) for the latest installment of the Grubbie Debuts series, featuring GrubStreet Memoir incubee Michelle Bowdler for the paperback release of her debut memoir, Is Rape a Crime?: A Memoir, an Investigation, and a Manifesto. Michelle will be joined in conversation by  Lacy Crawford, author of Notes on a Silencing, A New York Times Editors’ Choice and Notable Book. The conversation will focus primarily on the craft of memoir writing. This event is free and open to all, hosted on Crowdcast.  ...
