If you need to withdraw from class, here are your options—fees will not apply for refunds related to the Coronavirus situation:
For a refund or credit, contact us two business days or more before your class starts. You can either choose to hold a full credit with us good for one year on other Gotham classes OR you can opt for a refund less a $25 administrative fee and your $25 registration fee ($50 total).
If you need to withdraw after your class has started (or one business day before it starts), you won’t receive a refund, but you’re welcome to a Gotham credit less the price of Week 1 and your $25 registration fee, but we need to hear from you two business days or more before Week 2 meets for that to happen. After that point, no credits are available.
You may reschedule a 1-Day or Zoom Intensive one time, if you notify us before the class begins. After that first reschedule, there is a $25 rescheduling fee.
If you notify us two business days or more before your class begins, rescheduling is free. If you notify us less than two business days before your class begins, there is a $25 rescheduling fee. If you don’t notify us until after your class begins, we cannot reschedule you.
You may get a refund (minus a $50 fee) if you notify us two business days or more before your class begins.
If you attend the first meeting of a 2-Day Intensive but, due to an emergency, can’t attend the second, you can contact us two days (or more) before that second meeting, and we’ll give you a Gotham credit for half the tuition, good on other Gotham classes for a year.
You may notify us at 212-974-8377.
If you withdraw two hours or more before it begins, you’re welcome to a full credit good for one year toward another Write-In. No refunds are available. If you simply don’t show up and don’t notify us in advance, you forfeit your money.
Private Classes
For a refund or credit, contact us two business days or more before your class starts. You can either choose to hold a full credit with us good for one year on other Gotham classes OR you can opt for a refund less a $50 administrative fee.
If you need to withdraw after your class has started (or one business day before it starts), you won’t receive a refund, but you’re welcome to a Gotham credit less the price of Week 1, but we need to hear from you two business days or more before Week 2 meets for that to happen.

If you need to reschedule an in-person meeting, please notify us at least 24 hours before the meeting, or you will forfeit the cost of the meeting.
Mentorships
For a refund, contact us before any hours are used. The refund will be for the total cost of the mentorship, less a $200 penalty, which covers administrative costs plus money paid to the mentor. Once you've used any time with your mentor, no refunds available.
For a credit, contact us within one week of the start of your mentorship. The start is marked by using a half-hour of time with your mentor. Once that first half-hour occurs, the clock starts and you have one week to drop the mentorship for a credit. The credit will be less the number of hours you have used and Gotham keeps a $150 penalty, which covers administrative costs plus money paid to the mentor
If you need to reschedule an in-person meeting, please notify us at least 24 hours before the meeting, or you will forfeit the cost of the meeting.
Doctoring & Publishing Guidance
No credits or refunds available. If you need to reschedule an in-person meeting, please notify us at least 24 hours before the meeting, or you will forfeit the cost of the meeting. All Publishing Guidance services have a six month expiration date.
You may cancel your registration for a full Gotham credit (good for any Gotham class or conference), but, unfortunately, there are no refunds for conference registrations.
For Day 1: Contact us two business days or more before the start of the conference.
For Day 1 + 2: Contact us ten business days before the start of the conference.
If you don’t contact us by the deadline, then we will not be able to issue a credit.

If you purchased through CourseHorse, then our Refund/Cancellation policy applies to your purchase, but CourseHorse will issue the refund. Please contact CourseHorse here to request your refund.
If we cancel a class that you purchased through CourseHorse, you will receive a full refund or credit. If you prefer a refund, we will notify CourseHorse that you are due a refund, but you can also contact CourseHorse here with any questions.
Please understand, we can't issue a refund after classes have started, even if you miss your first class. Similarly, we can't offer you a credit one day before your second class or after that. We understand that other obligations get in the way of attending class, but these policies allow us to get other interested writers into class early enough to have a good experience, and this allows us to offer our classes at a reasonable price.
