The Member Lounge

Welcome, Grub Street members. This section of the site is for current members or anyone interested in becoming a card-carrying member with us. Below you’ll find all the benefits of becoming a member at Grub Street, as well as instructions for how to sign-up today.

Grub Street is the leading literary arts center in the nation, and we strive to give you the most innovate programming at the most affordable prices. Tuition alone does not cover the cost of running classes here – which is where you come in.

Simply put, your membership matters. Membership dues makes up over 25% of our fundraising budget and are crucial to supporting our mission and writing in Boston. Without your support we would not be able to offer over 600 classes and events each year, including new programs like the Novel Incubator and the Launch Lab. Your membership keeps our courses open and affordable and enables us to offer scholarships and free outreach programs.

Plus, all card-carrying members save money on every Grub Street class and event and get exclusive access to all our members-only events. Your membership card is not only honored here, but at a whole host of other local businesses.

Grub Street is a thriving community, and becoming a member is the best way to get involved. After all, it feels good to support a program that supports you.

If you have any questions or concerns about your membership, please contact our friendly and knowledgeable office staff at 617.695.0075 or email Sean at sean@grubstreet.org.
