GrubStreet's Teen Summer Writing Fellowship immerses high school students in the writer's life of creative craft and publishing. During three weeks at GrubStreet, teens work with published authors and meet with literary agents and editors, take field trips to inspirational locales like the ICA, and more.

We're excited to announce that Dariel Suarez, GrubStreet’s current Education Director, has been promoted to Artistic Director.

An advocate for access in the literary arts and a talented author of the novel The Playwright's House and the story collection A Kind of Solitude, Dariel Suarez has been a vital part of GrubStreet's staff since first joining in 2016 as the Head of Faculty & Curriculum

Every month, we celebrate successes of all stripes! In January, Grubbies were published in literary journals across the country, won awards and prizes, published books, and so much more. Our community is closing January 2022 out with 43 publications, seven book publications, and two awards & prizes

The Emerging Writer Fellowship aims to develop new, exciting voices by providing three writers per year tuition-free access to GrubStreet’s classes and Muse & the Marketplace conference series. Over the course of one year, each Emerging Writer Fellow will attend a combination of seminars and multi-week courses of their choosing, along with a wide selection of Muse & The Marketplace programming, in order to enhance their understanding of craft and the publishing industry.
