Biddy Biddy Bop Bop

Grub Street invites you to check out original drawings, doodles, and musings by 28 fabulous writers, including Tom Robbins, George Saunders, Robert Pinsky, Lois Lowry, Charles Baxter, Steve Almond, Susan Orlean, Chris Bohjalian, Ben Percy, Gregory Maguire, and Lee Martin. Welcome to our first-ever “From the Desk Of” postcard auction. Guess who made what!

We mailed each of these authors a blank, 5x7 inch postcard and asked each to create whatever they wanted with it. The creator of each postcard will remain anonymous until our upcoming fundraiser, A Taste of Grub. All details on how to bid on the postcards and come to the event are listed here. Online bidding will close promptly at 5:00pm on November 6th.

A Taste of Grub raises funds to support Grub Street’s community outreach programs, which bring creative writing workshops to senior citizens and at-risk youth throughout the greater Boston area. Plus, it's a chance for us to throw a great party and thank all of the wonderful supporters who make Grub Street possible.

Please spread the word to all your literary-minded friends, and bid, bid, bid! While you’re at it, check out our Literary Silent Auction as well.

Thanks, and cheers,
Sonya

A good time to be had by all. And for a great cause. Bid early, bid often.
