Don't be hung-up on the idea of a 'cold, sterile computer class' - Gotham's web design is as close to being in a friendly classroom as you'll ever experience!

I heartily recommend Gotham Writers' Workshop screenwriting workshops. Their reputation for providing expert instruction, small class size, and extensive student-teacher interaction is unbeatable.

Gotham Writers' Workshop has proved a priceless resource for our members, and writers around the world. Their skilled instruction, convenient class schedules, and student-faculty exchange are without equal.

Every aspect of each class was a learning experience. The instructor made the minutiae as fascinating as the major subjects. It was extraordinarily well taught. I learned much more than I anticipated.

A must-take course if you are interested in scriptwriting.

It's a great motivating tool when you have a screenplay in your head that you need to write. This class will pull that story out of you and put it on a page.

If you have an idea for a screenplay and keep talking about writing it but haven't a clue where to begin, this is the class for you.

I've taken a few other online writing classes, and this one stands out as the best by far. This course was worth every penny. Bravo!

This course helped me make more progress in ten weeks than I made in years of writing on my own.

A must for a serious screenwriter

I think taking an online class is brilliant because you can access the class 24/7. I love the break down of the lecture, the notebook, the class discussion, and the booth. Most of all, this class got me writing for 10 weeks straight! With interactivity, you feel you want to write. You have a purpose and a goal so you prioritize it. And you feel like you're getting somewhere. I've taken Gotham's classes before and I will take them again—they're awesome.

A fantastic, thorough, realistic intro to writing screenplays.

Exactly what I needed to get my script on track. I can't imagine having done it without the support from this class.

If you've got an idea, but have no idea how to get it on the page, this is the place for you.

What you're paying for is so much more than the course. You are getting inside knowledge from seasoned writers, and unbiased, constructive feedback from your teachers and peers (something friends and family might not have the heart to provide).

I love it! I didn't think that an online class could be comparable to a real class; I never would have imagined it to be superior! Your online classes are the paradigm for all future online schools to emulate. Thanks to your class, I have already written the first 10 pages of my screenplay, and it's only the third week! You've made a lifelong Gotham student out of me.

The best investment I've made as a writer thus far.

I think the course is a very good primer for a novice writer, but being a writer with a lot of experience, I was impressed with how the course sharpened my abilities.

The instructor cut to the heart of screenwriting. For the novice, he established clear parameters that will enable me to take my idea and write a better screenplay.

The instructor brings a clarity and personal approach to a subject the seemed mysterious and foreboding.
