Gotham Writers Workshop is a creative home where writers develop their craft and come together in the spirit of discovery and fellowship. We’ve been teaching creative writing and business writing since 1993.

Each Gotham class puts you in a community of writers, and we also offer ways to join the writing community beyond our classes. Writing is a solo act, but it’s helpful, even necessary, to connect with fellow writers.

The quality of instruction measures up to the best courses I've taken, including those required for my MFA.

Expert Teachers, Working Writers

A skilled teacher is the key to an exceptional class. Our teachers have been in the trenches, working daily at the craft of writing. They know the lay of the land. And they are equally adept at the fine art of teaching.

The Gotham Experience

We believe everyone has a story to tell. And we like to help people tell their stories better. We’ve been practicing this philosophy for more than three decades, and it’s made us the leading private writing school in the world.
