Our Philosophy
We believe that everyone has a story to tell, and that anyone can learn to write better through practice and learning the craft. We demystify the writing process and give our students a safe and structured environment that encourages them to keep writing and keep expanding their ability. It’s not a magic formula, but it’s the best path to becoming a better writer, whether you’re new to this or an old pro.

One of the reasons people take our classes is to achieve success in the writing world—getting their work published or produced. We’ve collected some letters from students telling us about their literary success and the role Gotham played in their story.
