Writing Workshop with Terence Hawkins

This series fosters a collegial environment where participants can hone their craft through thoughtful critique and collaborative discussion.

This workshop provides a collegial, supportive environment for writers at all stages of their development.  
Its core component is a group critique of each participant's work.  
Every week one writer will submit a piece  for our members' review, written comments, and a round-table discussion.  
This sounds intimidating.  And it does take courage.  But our experience has been that our writers treat their colleagues' work with the same respect they expect for their own, and their comments are always sincere but never hurtful.  
In addition, we often discuss published work by masters of the craft for insight into our own writing process.

About Terence Hawkins 

Terence Hawkins was raised in Fayette County, PA, a former coal hub later distinguished as the setting for the original Night of the Living Dead and American Rust. He graduated from Yale, where he was Publisher of the Yale Daily News.  In 2012 he became the founding Director of the Yale Writers’ Conference, which he developed and managed through 2015. He has served as the editor of Blue Mountain Review and All Things Tudor. He is now the Director of the Company of Writers.

His first novel, The Rage of Achilles, is a realistic and sometimes brutal account of the Iliad based on the theory of the bicameral mind.  Tom Perrotta called it a “genuinely fresh take on a classic text.”  In naming it a Year’s Best, Kirkus Reviews called his second, American Neolithic, “a towering work of speculative fiction.” Kirkus also praised his collection Turing’s Graveyard  as “extraordinary stories that will make readers laugh, shiver, or perhaps both,” and Booklist compared it to the Twilight Zone. 
He lives in Connecticut.
