Workshops are typically 10 weeks long, although depending on the course it may vary. If you don’t have time to take a long class, you can always take a one day intensive course or if you prefer to do the class from your own home rather than to travel to one of their locations, you can always do an online course. While you’re at it don’t forget to check out Gotham’s free workshops and classes that are held all throughout the city.
Speaking from personal experience, Gotham’s writing courses are a pleasure to do. They feel less like a class or a lecture and more like a time where you can do what you love and learn more about how to expand your skills. Each of the instructors is highly qualified and is there to guide you as you explore your talents.
