We are overjoyed to share that after years of advocacy, planning, construction, and fundraising: we did it!

Together as a community, we have officially reached (and surpassed!) our $8 million campaign goal to build and launch our brand-new home. With the GrubStreet community's support, we are set to complete the final touches and launch this new center, with expanded accessible classrooms, a literary stage, a bookstore, and ample community space.

Our first round of FREE YAWP Saturday Sessions for Fall 2021 are coming in hot! Join us this Saturday, whether you're interested in writing sci-fi & fantasy, putting your joy down on the page, or using nature as a metaphor. These sessions are free Boston-area high schoolers. Note: All YAWP Saturdays in Fall 2021 will be held remotely on Zoom. Click here for more information.

Have you ever dreamed of creating fantasy realms or writing ...

Will you join the final drive to complete our shared literary home? The goal was $8 million. Now, after three years and a huge outpouring of help from community members like you, we have only $40,000 to go to complete a welcoming literary home that will belong to you – and to all the writers and readers who want to share their imaginations and experiences.

Join Porter Square Books and Grubstreet tonight at 7pm (EST) in the latest installment of the Grubbie Debuts series, featuring Memoir Incubator graduate Judy Bolton-Fasman for the launch of her debut memoir, Asylum: A Memoir of Family Secrets. Judy will be joined in conversation by author Tova Mirvis. This event is free and open to all, hosted on Crowdcast. Register here.
