In-Person Events

Writing gets depicted as a lonely pursuit—but writers thrive in scenes, building organizations where we connect, launch new writers, and cultivate readers. Panelists representing one of the country’s foremost community-based teaching organizations (GrubStreet), a community-minded literary magazine (Pangyrus), a bookstore and creative gathering space in the inner city (Just Bookish), and a respected youth writing and publishing program (826Boston) discuss what it takes to sustain a literary hub.
