Grub Street at Newtonville Books!
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.
Master Narrative Non-Fiction
10 Wednesdays, 6:00-9:00pm. Begins September 15th.
Are you in the midst of writing a memoir or essay collection or a proposal for such a book? Do you want substantial feedback and thoughtful advice on this meaningful project? This small-group 10-week course will focus on intense workshopping of your material and will offer a round-table approach to "thinking collectively toward possible solutions" for each other (as William Zinsser says). An actively-acquiring agent or journal editor will also visit the class and read a submission from each writer. Space is limited to 9 students. To submit to this class, please send 10-12 pages of your narrative non-fiction along with a brief description of any workshop or class experience you’ve had to chip@grubstreet.org by noon on Friday, September 3rd. (Cost: $555/$530 members.)

Here's a little more about Grub:
We have two vital roles. We support writers at every stage of their development by offering writing classes, fellowships, employment, and networking opportunities, and by promoting the work of local authors. Equally important, we enrich the lives of Boston-area residents by introducing them to a community of fellow readers and writers through author-hosted book clubs, informal discussions, movie screenings and more.
Grub Street builds on Boston's proud literary tradition by making the city more welcoming for writers, and more inspiring and culturally alive for all of us.
I hope you'll take advantage of this wonderful addition to the Newtonville experience.
