The Cambridge Writers Workshop was recently featured on WriteByNight.  We were included in their list of top resources for Massachusetts writers, alongside such household–well, literary household–names as Ploughshares and Grub Street.  The list spans everything from conferences to local critique groups to literary magazines.  It can be found here: http://www.writebynight.net/massachusetts/
