For LGBTQ+ writers, a lack of queer-focused guidance, support, and community in writing workshops can stifle or even stall progress for novels. The Novel Immersive for LGBTQ+ Writers is a 9-month online program uniquely designed to fill this void and help queer writers complete or make significant progress towards completing a draft of their novel in a supportive community. 

In addition to online (Zoom and On Demand) classes below, GrubStreet is also hosting in-person classes and events at our space in the Seaport. To see the full list of all our steps in response to Covid-19, including updates about our space and events click here.

GrubStreet's Teen Summer Writing Fellowship immerses high school students in the writer's life of creative craft and publishing.
