Give the gift of writing, with a Gotham Gift Certificate.
Gotham Writers Workshop is a creative home where writers develop their craft and come together in the spirit of discovery and fellowship. We’ve been teaching creative writing and business writing since 1993.

Each Gotham class puts you in a community of writers, and we also offer ways to join the writing community beyond our classes. Writing is a solo act, but it’s helpful, even necessary, to connect with fellow writers.

I learned the power of starting. The schedule of submissions made me start, and wow—I finished two short stories in ten weeks.

Expert Teachers, Working Writers

A skilled teacher is the key to an exceptional class. Our teachers have been in the trenches, working daily at the craft of writing. They know the lay of the land. And they are equally adept at the fine art of teaching.
