[quote=Anonymous]I used to live in Boston.  I have a friend who is a published novelist and poet, and he was somewhat obsessed with teaching/being a part of Grubb Street.  He thought that his personal appearance was what was keeping them from accepting him, and I thought he was paranoid.  But now I think maybe there was something to what he said.

Also, I took one class through Grubb Street in person, and it was lackluster.  The teacher was not a published novelist "yet"; she was very young and it was her first year out of her MFA program.  She wasn't very good (but she was cute and perky, so now I am wondering...).

I also paid for one of the Grubb Street staff to read my novel and give a report, and now I regret that.  It took a lot of courage to show my book to someone, and I felt so vulnerable, wondering if the reader was going to show passages to other staff and laugh at me.  Now I am guessing that this very well could have happened. (The reader I chose was not one of the people mentioned in this scandal).[/quote]
