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.

Submission Form
Are you a Grubby launching your first book after September 2021 or anytime in 2022? Was your book or its publication influenced by your time at GrubStreet? If you’d like us to host your debut on our virtual stage — or, eventually, our real-life stage in the Seaport — fill out this brief application form. Our events team will review it and, if we’re able to host you, we’ll then work with your publicist to schedule a date and find a conversation partner.
