GrubStreet is thrilled to congratulate community member Kathleen Reidy! Kathleen's short story "An Invitation" was published in February's kindness-themed issue of WayWords. She thanks instructor Colin Corrigan and her fellow classmates in the Short Story Revision class where an early version of this story was workshopped.

We asked Kathleen how her time at GrubStreet influenced her accomplishment:

"GrubStreet has helped me take myself more seriously as a writer. The GrubStreet classes I've taken have been top-notch, and so the learning opportunities they provide are enormous. Still, it's the incredible support of the GrubStreet community, including teachers and other writers, that make all the difference."
