Dear Gotham,

I took Gotham's How to Freelance featuring the New York Times taught by Cindy Price with New York Times editor Mike Hale answering questions from the class in the final week.

The class provided information and support beyond my expectations. Cindy was an incredible instructor: knowledgeable, supportive, and kind. Her lectures were informative and covered all the information I needed to get started in freelance writing. The week of questions and answers with Mike Hale was informative and offered a fascinating look into the world of the New York Times.

For one of the class assignments, I created a query for Brain, Child: The Magazine For Thinking Mothers. Cindy liked it, made some suggestions to make it even better, and encouraged me to submit it to the magazine, which I did after the class ended. I am happy to say that, thanks to Cindy and to Gotham, my piece, Remembering Mr. Wrong, was published in Brain, Child's Winter 2009 Edition.

Thank you, again, to Gotham, and thank you to Cindy Price and my other wonderful Gotham instructors for teaching me that there is always more to learn.
