ANOTHER STUDENT SUCCESS

oliverDear Gotham,

I’m pleased to report that I will be publishing my third book, Bad Bosses, Crazy Coworkers & Other Office Idiots in September ’08. I ran several of the chapters of the book through Cliff Hopkinson’s Article Writing II class last year, and the feedback I received sharpened my writer’s voice and refined my storytelling ability.

When the galleys recently came back from the publishing company, I reread the book once again and thought, “It’s all true, it’s really tight, and I wouldn’t change a word.” That’s high praise coming from an author who feels that writing is rewriting.

I’ve taken writing classes all over the city and honestly believe that Gotham’s are superior. The caliber of the students is high and the dedication of the teachers, unrivaled. The atmosphere in the classes is one of camaraderie and gentle competition. We are all pushing each other to turn in our best work, to be better critics, to become better readers and ultimately, better writers.

I’ll be taking Cliff’s class again next semester. I have a new book in mind so watch out world.

These classes are all about helping younger writers discover and develop their unique voices. There are no grades, no exams, and no wrong answers.

Students will explore a variety of fiction's forms, including memoir, personal essay, and article writing. Every week, they will engage in conversations about writing craft, partake in writing jam sessions, and have the chance to get feedback on their work. Plus, students will have the opportunity to submit work for review by a Teen Ink editor for possible publication in the national magazine and web site. All students will also receive a one-year subscription to Teen Ink magazine.
