Writers Sweeping Across Gotham

by

New York City is the place to be for writers. Publishers abound in every neighborhood. Small presses, free papers (I’m sure the New Yorkers reading this have run into those people who are handing out the Daily News for free by now), books in every store. We’re a very literate city–reading on subways and busses. Writers may still struggle, but here’s a way to hone the craft.

The Gotham Writers Workshop is a fun way to brush up on the basics, receive feedback from peers, embark on a new writing adventure, and network with people who understand who you are and what you do, and most importantly, why you do it.

Their class format ranges from one-day workshops to ten-week stints. They meet several times periods in different locations so there’s something for everyone. For writers who don’t want to travel, Gotham also has online classes.

The instructors are people in the know. The comedy classes showcase standup comics as the professors. The poetry classes introduce you to poets. So you learn from people who know what they’re doing.

If you’ve never picked up a pen to write or if you’re a freelancer for a living, sign up for a workshop. It’s a uniquely wonderful experience.
