ARCHIVE FOR Grub News

Do you have a teen writer in your life? Let them know about GrubStreet's Summer Teen Classes starting this June. This summer, we've put together an entire catalog of exciting remote teen classes designed to keep the YAWP community connected while also providing plenty of optional portions for breaks from screens when needed.

Fall is on its way! And you know what that means: it’s time to get writing. If you're busy getting back into the swing of things after the dog days of summer, we’ve got good news for you: our new batch of online classes have no live meetings! That means you can log in and learn from anywhere using our interactive and super easy-to-use platform, Wet Ink. Our online classes fit perfectly between vigorous work schedules, leaf-peeping, schooldays, and grabbing the last cup of hot apple cider from Boston Public Market!

Live in Egleston Square or Mattapan? We’ve partnered with the Boston Public Library to bring FREE creative writing workshops to your neighborhood virtually this summer. All classes welcome new and practicing writers!

Before we open, we hope to be able to install that technology in the remaining classrooms as well as the stage area. To learn more and support the launch of the new GrubStreet, click here.
