No dirt at all. Very boring. Barely perceptible. While I was still taking classes there they started up two full-year intensive (and expensive) programs called the Novel Incubator and the Novel Generator. They were all about getting your novel completed and published, and were highly competitive. I think if you got into one of those programs, you were an elite. I applied for one of them and wasn't accepted. One of the two people who ran the program (and made the acceptance decisions) was someone whose classes I'd been taking for a while, we were seemingly friendly in class, friends on Facebook, etc. When I didn't get the acceptance, I was disappointed that I didn't hear personally from her. But whatever. I saw this person once or twice at local readings with some student-friends from the Incubator program. I felt like an outsider based on these interactions. But again, nothing "wrong" was ever said. Just impersonal.

They (I'm gonna assume it's the Chunky Monkeys) had a bottle of whiskey they kept in a cabinet somewhere at the original Grub Street location. I thought it was a cute. Hemingway-esque detail. There's nothing wrong with being buddies. But maybe they all took themselves too seriously. [b]

I just wrote to GS telling them I can't continue with my regular donations while Castellani is still on staff and the issues are not being addressed.[/b] [/quote]

Good for you.  We need people putting their money where their mouth is here.  What a group of horrifically miserable, evil people in that group- you should be thrilled they didn't see you as "one of them" [/quote]
