registration policies

how to register

Grub Street classes are for writers 18 years of age and older. Writers between age 13 and 18 are encouraged to check our our programs for teens. We do not offer programs for writers younger than 13.

The easiest, fastest, and most secure way to register is by doing so online. You may also call Grub Headquarters at 617.695.0075. We also accept checks, money orders, and cash. Please make checks payable to "Grub Street" and send to:

Grub Street
162 Boylston Street
5th Floor
Boston, MA 02116

waiting lists

Our workshops often sell out very quickly, so we recommend registering as soon as possible. We process all registrations on a first-come, first-served basis, and do not accept reservations.

Once a workshop is full, it is listed as "SOLD OUT" on our website. Follow the "join a waiting list" link to be placed on one. Should someone cancel before the first day of class, we call immediately the first person on the waiting list. In most cases, however, we recommend choosing an alternative class.

Payment in full is due at the time of registration. We do not accept deposits.
