Grubbie Debut Author Series
GrubStreet and Porter Square Books have partnered for a celebratory new reading and conversation series that goes behind the scenes with members of the GrubStreet community to launch their debut books. These are all authors whose time in GrubStreet’s classes, conferences, and/or events shaped their books in some important way.
In candid conversations with fellow authors, we’ll hear how these Grubbies went from aspiring to published, what inspired and sustained their stories, and how each book developed and changed along the way.
Books will be available for purchase from Porter Square Books.
Upcoming Events
Porter Square Books: Boston Edition and GrubStreet are delighted to present the latest installment of the Grubbie Debut event series, featuring debut author Mark Cecil! Join us for a celebration of his novel Bunyan and Henry or, The Beautiful Destiny, "[a] large-hearted reimagining of beloved all-American legends." Author Steve Almond will join Cecil in conversation. This event will take place on Tuesday, April 30 at The Center for Creative Writing. The event is free and open to all, but space will be limited, so be sure to register.
