One-on-One Writing Services

Would you like to work one-on-one with a member of the Gotham faculty?

It’s tough to catch a break in the writing business. Editors, agents, and producers seldom grant you more than a first look, so you want your work to be in the best possible shape before sending it out into the world. Gotham has a network of professionals, in every field, who can help strengthen your work and maximize your chances of success.

We can also help with such things as business communication, grammar, and college essays.

And if your main goal is just to get better, we can help with that too.
