The Quabbin region of Massachusetts has a storied history. Deep beneath the waters of her reservoir, time has stood still for close to a century in the flooded streets of the cities lost to progress. Join twenty-two contemporary Central and Western Massachusetts authors as they embark on exploring what 'Time's Reservoir' means to them. This is the first Quabbin Quills Anthology. Founded in 2017 by Garrett Zecker and Steve Piscitello, Quabbin Quills is a Massachusetts non-profit writer's group. Our purpose is to unite authors in the Quabbin area to put together high-quality anthologies of our best work. Proceeds from the anthology will be going into future publications, local educational programs, and scholarships. We offer workshops throughout the summer as a means of improving our submissions while building a local community of like-minded artists.
