Writers attending conferences - like last week's The Muse & The Marketplace 2021 - tend to react to the experience in one of two ways: despair or elation.

Camp #1 is overwhelmed with information. Too much of the advice they absorbed seemed contradictory or overly complicated. They’re not sure they even like agents and editors anymore. And dammit, if all those other attendees are trying to get published, how do they stand a chance? 

Join Mass Poetry and GrubStreet on Tuesday, March 16th at 7 PM EST on Zoom for a special "U18" edition of Mass Poetry's U35 reading series! You'll hear from an inspiring set of student features from Mass Poetry's school residencies and GrubStreet's youth writing programs. Register here.

Teen writers, ready to generate new work, learn about the craft of writing, and gain knowledge of the writing/publishing world? Apply to the Summer Teen Fellowship by tonight (Tuesday, February 23rd) at 11:59pm (EST).

The trash fire that was 2020 continues to bring frustrations and hardships. We’re also getting a little burned out from remote learning. But what if you still want to safely get together with other creative writers in some relaxed way online that doesn’t feel like school? Well, here you go.

Teens said they wanted some structure in a class that was also lowkey and flexible, so it didn’t feel like obligatory school

Teen writers, join Dharani Persaud in a quick info session about GrubStreet's Teen Writing Fellowship! We'll walk you through all the components of the application and answer any questions you may have about the process. No question is too small! Reserve your spot today.
