"I enjoyed coming to the class so much. What I enjoyed most about it was how compelled I felt to try something new and go all the way. This was not a class in which the students received grades, and I really liked that. I did not feel any pressure to do my best; I just did."

"Easy going and awesome. It's okay to be a complete freak about books and writing, because everyone else is and will accept you."

Gotham teen workshops are designed to foster creativity and self-expression in a supportive atmosphere. There are no grades, no exams, no wrong answers—just creative writing. Each class is taught by a faculty member adept at helping young writers discover and develop their unique voices.
