Whether you keep a diary, commonplace book, scrapbook, morning pages or any other form of journal, you’re welcome here.
Join us this spring for “10 Weeks of Alchemy!” Together we’ll explore Suleika Jaouad’s The Book of Alchemy through reading assignments, live events, and original prompts (and surprises!).

Virtual Classes
Reader's Room: Most Celebrated Short Stories of 2025
Class offered through Grub Street Writers Center.
Reading List: TheBest American Short Stories 2025, edited by Celeste Ng; The Best Short Stories of 2025 (O Henry Award Winners), edited by Edward P. Jones.
The short story is a constantly evolving form. In this class, we'll read the most recent editions of the two most influential literary short story anthologies–The Best American Short Stories and the O. Henry Award winners–to see what short stories look like today.
We'll consider what this year's stories have to say about our time, and which stories are new classics. By the end of class, students will have found some new favorite up and coming writers, developed a greater sensitivity to their own preferences in literature, and expanded their reading palates to include new ideas.
