Student Quotes
"My instructor was peerless. I do not say this lightly. I have studied at the Iowa Writers Workshop, studied with Bernard Malamud and Nick Delbanco, Jay McInerney, and many others. No one was as effective, committed and caring about my writing as my Gotham instructor."

ANOTHER STUDENT SUCCESS Tuff_DearGotham12-09

Dear Gotham:

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am happy to announce that my debut YA fantasy novel. The Breakthrough (Arctic Wolf Publishers) was just published. I never could have done it without you.

Over the last two years I took several Gotham classes. In the online How to Get Published class, taught by literary agent Daniel Lazar, I learned how to write a query letter that really attracts attention. As soon as I made the changes he recommended, I started getting favorable feedback from agents. In fact, the back cover of my novel includes a few lines Daniel Lazar suggested.

In the ten-week online Children’s Book Writing class taught by Eric Kraft, I improved my writing by listening to the feedback from my fellow classmates and the instructor. It was so much fun that I was bummed when the ten weeks were over.

Now comes the hard part . . . marketing my novel. Of course I’ll turn to Gotham for help on creating internet buzz. My next class will be How to Blog. Thank you again.

Best,

Ann Tufariello

TEACHER'S GRAPHIC MEMOIR PUBLISHED Gotham teacher Laurie Sandell has just seen the publication of her graphic memoir, The Imposter's Daughter. (Let’s point out that a graphic memoir is the memoir version of a graphic novel, not a memoir that contains graphic violence or anything else graphic.) It’s the story of how the writer gradually discovered that her father was a con artist extraordinaire, a man whose entire life was essentially a lie. The story began as a short piece in Esquire, which Sandell then transformed into a conventional book, after which she realized she could best tell this story as, well . . . as a graphic memoir.
