Members of NaNoWriMo…welcome to Gotham!

Who We Are

Gotham Writers Workshop is a creative home in New York City and online where writers develop their craft and come together in the spirit of discovery and fellowship. We've been teaching creative writing to tens thousands of students since 1993.

Feel free to explore our website.

How Our Classes Will Help You (and your Novel)

National Novel Writing Month (or Camp NaNoWriMo) is a wonderful sprint that helps you zip through a first draft of a novel in a short period of time. But writing an excellent novel is a marathon, requiring confident use of the elements of craft (plot, character, point of view, etc.) and numerous rounds of revision.

Gotham courses can help you reach that marathon's finish line, with:

  • Instruction on elements of craft
  • Exercises that allow you to practice what you learn
  • Feedback on your novel from your teacher and fellow students
  • Deadlines that keep you motivated and on track
  • Support from the group of writers around you

In particular, consider our spectrum of fiction-related courses.

And you might be interested in Book Doctoring.

And we offer a multitude of other courses, ranging from Humor Writing to Blog & Newsletter Writing to Screenwriting to Business Writing. Here you'll find a portal to all our courses.
