Register for the 2023 GrubStreet LGBTQ+ Writers' Weekend

A multi-colored rectangle that says "A Celebration of LGBTQ+ Voices. LGBTQ+ Writers' Weekend. October 27 to 29, 2023. GrubStreet's Center for Creative Writing. Featuring Nicole Shawan Junior, Missy Steak, Sara Farizan, Sabrina Sarro, Corey Martin Fitzgerald, Milo Todd, Haley Heidemann, Gabe Cole Novoa, Kay Ulanday Barrett, Kelly J. Ford, Mary Dibinga. Each name includes a square photo of the given person.

Since the beginning of the year, I've been working with GrubStreet, the creative writing nonprofit of Boston, to bring you our first annual LGBTQ+ Writers' Weekend! The festival will take place in Boston from October 27th to 29th. The theme for our first year is "Resilience" and we’re including such events and activities as a keynote, affinity groups, craft sessions, communal writing time, a discussion panel, a community expo, a trivia night, a "book prom," and a closing reading ceremony. The building is wheelchair-accessible, all bathrooms are gender-free, there will be a quiet room available, some events include ASL interpreters and mask requirements, and we're strongly encouraging mask-wearing and a low-scent environment for the entire weekend.

Most of the weekend's events are free, but registration is required due to limited capacity. I hope to see you there!
