Congratulations to Roxbury Writers’ summer 2019 resident Brian Patrick on the publication of Mission Matters Business Leaders Vol 4.

Life is good. Couldn't be happier with the amazing group of leaders that have come together for our Virtual Summit and the release of our latest book, Mission Matters Business Leaders Vol 4. Do to the hard work and effort of these authors, this event and book is turning out to be huge success.

Playing my small role in doing the interviews for this event has been one of the highlights of my year.

Join us for this online event which begins Sept. 14th by registering here: https://missionmatters.lpages.co/mission-matters-business-leaders-volume-4/

Congratulations to Roxbury Writers' summer 2019 resident Tracy Mann on the publication of her essay on Brazil.

"Hamilton inaugurated a youth debate group in Serrinha, Grupo Debate, which was affectionately shortened to Gruda-se, meaning to stick to, to glue, to adhere, to take. He taught the older kids, six out of twelve in my boyfriend’s family, about the student movements in France and in the US, played Miles Davis and Nina Simone, explained Marxism and the Cuban revolution. They took the “Gruda-se” imperative to heart, forming deep loyalties to the man who nurtured their future artistic and political paths. “Everything,” my boyfriend’s younger brother wrote me, “that a young person from the country needed to transform idleness into precious time."

Dear Friends, To all those who have joined us at Roxbury Writers’ Residency ~ neighbors, editors, agents, and most importantly all you writers we hold dear ~ we cherish you and protect in our hearts the many memories we made here together. Thank you for filling this special property with your words, your wisdoms, your intrepid visions, your courage, and mostly your love.

The glorious farmhouse which housed so many has recently been restored by Co-Founder, Jerome Jakubiec. We hope these modern touches restore our grand-dame to her former glory. Interested parties please contact [email protected] to set up a visit. We wish the future residents of this magical place much happiness and peace. And we look forward to reimagining future artist & writer residencies wherever we land next. Stay tuned! Link to full listing ~ with video walk-through ~in comments. 🙌🏼✨ @ Roxbury Writers' Residency

"Anche l'innocenza ha il suo lato oscuro, soprattutto quando la soglia di casa diventa metaforicamente anche la soglia dello sviluppo femminile e dell'ingresso nell'età adulta".

È vero, abbiamo parlato poco del romanzo di Annie DeWitt uscito in libreria il 14 ottobre. Rimediamo a questa grave mancanza facendovi ascoltare la nuova puntata di "Black Coffee Sounds Good", in cui un'ispiratissima La McMusa ci guida attraverso le atmosfere, i personaggi e la scrittura di "Notti in bianco".

Buon ascolto! => https://bit.ly/2JhvjUD

Roxbury Writers’ Residency is thrilled to see the publication of Brian Patrick’s essay, “The Ping of Past and Present,” a personal reflection on his 911 experience. It was an honor to workshop this with Brian this summer and to hear him read from it for our Editors’ Panel.
