Novelist and Dartmouth Professor of English Ernest Hebert \u201969<\/strong> received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the New Hampshire Writers’ Project<\/a> on Saturday, March 22, at the group’s Writers’ Day Conference.<\/p>\n

“I was very proud to receive the lifetime achievement award for the obvious reason that, like most people, it feels good to be acknowledged for work you’ve done over many years,” Hebert said. “In this case, there was an added bonus to receiving the award from a group that I have great respect for, the New Hampshire Writers Project. It’s kind of a gathering place and support group for New Hampshire-based writers, editors, agents, and publishers. They don’t discriminate between so-called literary authors and commercial writers. The result is, as a participating member, you get to schmooze and network with all kinds of different people working in the literary arts. I think that’s healthy for literature and the people.”<\/p>\n

And we couldn’t help asking if KSC had played a role in getting Hebert where he is today. “I’ll always be grateful to Keene State for starting me off in a career,” he explained. “Without KSC, I never would have discovered the writer in myself.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
