ambassadors

Grub Street Ambassadors are working writers serious about their craft. They may have a regular "day job," but their passion is for the stories and poems and essays they work on when they are able, and which they are likely to submit to journals and magazines and contests. They take Grub Street workshops, regularly attend our readings and open mics and other events, lead seminars and Saturday Morning Serials, are a presence at literary events around town, meet with a writing group, follow the ins and outs of the publishing industry, and/or simply enjoy the company of the other writers and readers they've met at Grub Street.

Along with Instructors and students, Ambassadors form the core of Grub Street's community. They are visible and vocal spokespeople for the power of writing to define and illuminate a community, to make meaning, and to change the world. They understand Grub Street's mission and are eager to support it. They see the process of writing as its own rich reward, but also the benefits of publishing and sharing their work with a wider audience.
