Craig Fehrman is a Ph.D. student in Yale’s English department and a freelance writer. He’s written for magazines (including The New Republic and New York), newspapers (The New York Times, The Boston Globe), websites (Slate, Salon), and blogs (Deadspin, The Millions). You can find a full archive of his work here. He’s also working on a book about presidents and their books — and, more broadly, about how, when, and why we started expecting politicians to write books.
Craig grew up in Dillsboro, Indiana, and graduated from the University of Southern Indiana in 2007, majoring in English literature and psychology. Both Yale and Connecticut represent new experiences for him, but, so far, they’ve been good ones. He’s married to a beautiful and understanding woman named Candice, who works as a book editor in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Really? Dillsboro? Really!?
Hi Craig..Saw your granddad at Lowe’s and got the catchup on you and your siblings.
Amazing where you landed…have a sister in Stratford…

Good to hear from you, Mrs. Beckley. Hope your kids are doing well!
I like your article “Osama Bin Laden’s death: The millennials have a moment”. I am from Trinity College CT.
Thanks for reading, Mike.
Your from Indiana. You could never, nor would I expect you, to ever understand the impacts of 9/11 on someone from the New York, New Jersey, or Connecticut area.
I grant you that point, Ben. But there were Millennials (if you’re replying to my Millennials and bin Laden story) celebrating at Penn State, Ohio State, Arizona State — all over the country. It was more than an East Coast thing.
Thanks for reading, Ben. I take your point. But most of the Millennials who partied at bin Laden’s death weren’t from New York, either.
As an avid student of our nation’s beginnings, I just read with great interest your article, “Thomas Jefferson’s Cut and Paste Bible” written for the LA Timnes and published in our Vermont Standard News. I am a supporter of the national write-in campaign of Barbara Lacy for President and one thing she clearly defines and addresses is the role of religion in politics. “Removing the Flak to Reveal the Real Issue.” You can read this and her other articles and statements at http://www.barbaralacy.org. As a writer and reporter, this is something you should see!
