“If I were to advertise my visit, I’d say, ‘Full-time professional novelist Dan Simmons is hunting for a few good men to become the novelists of the future,’ Dan Simmons ’70 said of his return to Wabash last week to lead the first Wabash Writer's Workshop, a three-day intensive immersion for six qualifying Wabash students in the art and craft of writing.
