Many of you may already know that Ruth Sullivan is stepping down from her role as Office Manager. We're excited to share, however, that she will continue to be part of the Gloucester Writers Center in a newly created part-time development position.
To fill her shoes, we are thrilled to welcome Brandy Brouillette to the team this week as our new Office Manager. Brandy brings over 10 years of experience supporting executives, managing operations, and leading cross-functional projects. She’s also deeply passionate about art and cultural engagement, with a strong background in both the nonprofit and creative sectors.
Please join us in welcoming Brandy to the GWC community!
“The Science in Fiction,” a Stand Up for Art & Science Festival

Every year we give the Amiri Baraka Scholarship to a deserving Gloucester High graduate. This year it was Andres who is going to Umass Lowell with a double major of Medicine and Psychology. Check out his poem below:
Henry, Susan Pollack and Dick Lourie were on hand to honor Andres $500 award from the GWC sponsored by Kanter Kallman Foundation.
Porter Street has a new poet!
The Charles Olson Mural is complete! 🎉 Look for a special signing event later this fall—we hope Tony Millionaire will join us in Gloucester to celebrate. We may even stage a reading right on the street!
A huge thanks to Tom Lance and the Brass Monkey, Winnie of the Pilot House, the Massachusetts Cultural Council for their generous support, and to Tricia O’Neill and Steve Brettler for bringing this tribute to our literary history to life.
