Zoom Program: TEWKSBURY WRITING GROUP -- Advice From Author Tim Horvath
Are you a writer -- or an aspiring writer -- looking for some support?
The Tewksbury Writing Group is open to everyone who's interested in writing -- all genres, all skill levels. Each meeting -- which will take place via Zoom -- features a guest speaker (typically a published author or editor) offering some tips of the trade.
RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program.
The April 2026 guest speaker is author Tim Horvath. Horvath is the author of Understories, which won the New Hampshire Literary Award for Outstanding Work of Fiction, and Circulation, and in collaboration with composer/cellist Rafaele Andrade, Un-bow. His stories have appeared in journals such as Conjunctions, AGNI, Ploughshares, Harvard Review, and elsewhere. His story “The Understory” was selected by Bill Henderson, founder and president of the Pushcart Press, as the winner of the Raymond Carver Short Story Award. Horvath currently teaches English at Phillips Exeter Academy, as well as being a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Creative Writing Program at Stony Brook University, as well as faculty for the MFA in Writing for Warren Wilson. In addition, he teaches classes for GrubStreet, StoryStudio Chicago, Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, and elsewhere.
The group is facilitated by author Dale T. Phillips, who has published novels, story collections, poetry, non-fiction, and over 80 short stories. Stephen King was Dale's college writing teacher, and since then, Dale has found time to appear on stage, television, radio, in an independent feature film, and compete on Jeopardy (losing in a spectacular fashion). He's a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Sisters in Crime. He's traveled to all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, and through Europe.
Presented in collaboration with the Tewksbury Public Library and other area libraries.
