ARCHIVE FOR Grub News

In the August 2018 edition of "Best of Boston," we bring you our top Boston lit events this month, curated from the Boston Literary District's event calendar, an essential source of literary happenings.

BOSTON, MA - On Saturday, June 2 at its 2018 National Convention, the Northeasterners, a social organization for African-American women, awarded GrubStreet’s Young Adult Writers Program (YAWP) with a $5,000 donation. The gift was a part of the Northeasterners' annual charitable donation, which is presented to a local organization in the event host’s city.

The Northeasterners selected YAWP after attending a special reading by GrubStreet’s Teen Summer Fellows last July

GrubStreet and Boston Public Library have just announced the relaunch of their neighborhood writing program, Write Down the Street. Participants can take a six-week bilingual writing workshop in Egleston Square, or stop by an hour-long drop-in session in Mattapan.

Grub is pulling out all the stops for its 20th-anniversary celebration. Meghna Chakrabarti, host of Radio Boston on WBUR and Modern Love: The Podcast, has been announced as the emcee for Lit Up 2017! Find out what else we have in store at this year's event.

Leave work behind and kick off your weekend with a FREE writing session on Friday, September 29th from 5:30pm to 6:30pm at Grub HQ! Free drinks and snacks will be provided.
