GrubStreet is thrilled to congratulate John David Liebling! John’s novel, David Sagacious Immortal Mortal, will be published November 19, 2024. It's an epic science fiction saga between God and the ultimate evil Malevolent Time.

We asked John how his time at GrubStreet influenced his accomplishment:

“GrubStreet instructors' kindness was invaluable in helping me achieve my lifelong novel-writing goals. Without their respectful and empathetic critique of my unique use of rhyme and alliteration, I doubt I would have been able to bring my anti-bullying character arcs to life.”
