Teaching more than 7,000 students a year, Gotham is the leading creative writing school in NYC and the United States.New workshops begin frequently Online and in New York City. Choose from these popular one-day intensives: Fiction Writing- Humor Writing - Memoir Writing The International Association for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) has certified Gotham as an Authorized Provider of Continuing Education Units (CEUs). We now offer IACET approved CEUs to students who successfully complete ten-week and some six-week classes either in NYC or via the Internet.I am thrilled to let you know that I recently published my first novel, Life After Yes (HarperCollins/Avon). To date, my book—an honest tale of love and loss in post-9/11 Manhattan—has received some wonderful praise from fellow authors (including #1 NYT Bestseller, Gretchen Rubin) as well as a very positive Booklist review. Over the past several years, I have participated in Gotham's online courses. Most notably, I worked with instructor Russell Rowland in the context of multiple fiction and novel writing classes. Russell, whom I deem my “Montana mentor” and thank for his keen insight and guidance in the acknowledgments of my debut effort, held my shaky hand, page by page, until my story was complete and compelling. I hope very much to work with Russell to complete my second novel. I have told many friends and blog readers as much, but Gotham truly got me from dream of writing to reality of publication. In working with your incomparable teachers and fellow students, I was able to find my voice and hone my craft—all while raising my two young girls. I would never discount my education in this existential equation, but I am very much indebted to your wonderful institution. Thank you so much for your help in getting me here. I am indeed living my dream! Aidan Donnelley Rowley www.ivyleagueinsecurities.com --------------------- To read more Letters to Gotham, visit Dear Gotham

Random House has just published Finny, a novel by Gotham teacher Justin Kramon. It’s what you might call a picaresque (in the tradition of Tom Jones and Great Expectations), chronicling the adventures of a plucky girl named Finny Short through two decades and across two continents. Author Jim Crace calls Finny “a debut novel of exceptional achievement,” and GalleyCat calls it “a super summer book.” > Read a passage here. > Order your copy of Finny here. > Read excerpts from other books by Gotham faculty here.
