Comment:
Hilary knows the craft very well and will be frank and honest with you about your writing ability. Some people can't handle the criticism, but also some people shouldn't really be writing professionally and should find that out sooner than later. Unfortunately, he isn't always effective in communicating with students as to what he expects of them.

Comment:
Honesty and serious effort, not sentimentality, are what matters in Hilary's courses. These values derive from the respect that he demands that students give each other (and indeed that he fosters). Not to seriously consider a writer's work and to offer genuine criticism would be belittlement. Hilary is serious about the craft and shows it.

Comment:
If he doesn't like you, he will encourage the class to join him in mocking you. He holds his students to his own standards of morality and taste. He does not care about helping students find their own voice, but instead tries to mold them to his.

Hilary's fair but only if you show a serious commitment to the course and craft. Otherwise, you might as well drop.

Comment:
Hilary is a fantastic raconteur and professor of writing. At first, you might think he's a jerk in workshops, but that's because he's very serious about what he does and expects you to be too. Expect no coddling, but he is generous with his time--just ask. Very funny.
