What we’re about

The Hardcore Writers Group is for serious, aspirational writers who want to publish, sell, or produce their work. All types of writing are welcome: novels, nonfiction books, short stories, screenplays, poetry, etc.

Participants will share excerpts regularly and provide feedback to others. Additionally, there will be presentations about inspirational ideas, best practices, and more.

All sessions will be online, with occasional, informal, in-person gatherings in Chicago. Participants may be located anywhere in the world, but their writing must be in English.

The facilitator, Daniel Patinkin, has published two narrative nonfiction books and one collection of short stories.
