I contributed a postcard to Grub Street's "From the Desk Of" auction. There are many other fun, lovely, silly, pretty postcards by other writers, including Sven Birkets, Karen Brennan, Ron Carlson, Amy Hempel, Josh Weil, Merrill Feitell, Lauren Groff, and many others. Grub Street is a really wonderful non-profit creative writing center based in Boston, offering high-quality workshops, events and professional development opportunities for writers of all levels.
