The Writing Center- CE

The Writing Center offers a cultural showcase of writing workshops, special topic courses, and free literary events featuring guest speakers.

Welcome to Spring 2014 at the Hunter Writing Center-CE.  While tulips, magnolias, and apple blossoms bloom, it is the season of our Best Selling Author Series and  Great Thinkers Series at The Writing Center. Patrick McGrath, author of a dozen gothic best-sellers including Asylum and Constance, will lead off the  series beginning in February. Other speakers include Andre Aciman, author of the prize-winning memoir Out of Egypt, author Patricia Volk, poet J.D. McClatchy, and film writer and critic Molly Haskell. The Great Thinkers Series will feature philosopher Ned Block, the world’s expert on consciousness; Harvard Smithsonian astrophysicist Margaret Geller, who has been mapping the universe for the past 20-30 years, and Sir Harold Evans, one of the great editors of our time and the author of The American Century.  We continue to offer Master classes and writing workshops  taught by a distinguished group of fiction and non-fiction writers including Daphne Merkin, Bruce Jay Friedman,  Sidney Offit, Danielle Blau, Sharon Johnson, Beena Kamlani, and Grace Edwards.  I hope you’ll agree that Hunter is the right place to be.
