We're very happy to announce a partnership with everyone's favorite non-profit writing center, Grub Street.  Grub will be holding their vaunted workshops on Wednesdays from 6-9pm at the bookstore, as well as a bounty of other writerly-driven events on frequent Tuesdays.

 

The first Grub workshop at Newtonville is sold out (as below), but mark these dates on your calendar if you're interested in taking a Grub workshop at Newtonville Books:

 

2008 Schedule

Fiction I

In the beginning, there was the short story, and it was good. In this course, you'll learn and practice the tried-and-true elements of fiction: character, plot, dialogue, setting, point of view, and revision. As you mine for material, you will also explore new possibilities in subject, style, and voice. Classes include short lectures, skill-based writing exercises and discussion of student work. The goal is to write and revise one story, giving you the momentum you need to continue writing well after the workshop ends.

$425/$400 members
10 Wednesdays, 6pm - 9pm. **At Newtonville Books, 296 Walnut Street, Newtonville. Begins July 9th
Instructor: Mike Heppner

Fall Term: Class begins Wednesday, October 8th

 

Please note that if you're interested in a Grub workshop, you must register with Grub, and not the bookstore.  You can reach Grub at 617-695-0075 or via their website at www.grubstreet.org.
