Novel Incubator Draft Builder Series

If you want to apply to GrubStreet’s Novel Incubator program but need a little more support and encouragement to build your manuscript, this Draft Builder series is for you! Writers will gather monthly in a supportive community setting to build their page counts in preparation for the Novel Incubator application deadline in early 2024. This is basically a community writing session where writers join together to write alongside one another, all working toward a similar goal. Added bonus: at least one Novel Incubator alumni volunteer will be available to answer individual questions about the program and also provide general encouragement. Oh, and there will be free snacks!

Come to one or all of the monthly sessions. This is a great opportunity to jumpstart and regularly nurture your large-scale project while also connecting with other writers who might want to exchange manuscripts later in the year for feedback prior to the application period. Better yet, GrubStreet is also planning on hosting a submission party at the end of this series where writers can submit their Novel Incubator applications in the festive company of others. More info about that to come!

This program is for all writers, and we particularly encourage writers from under-represented groups to join in. And tuition-free programs like this one are made possible by our wonderful members and donors. If you’re not already, consider becoming a member today!
