Resolved to start writing in 2009? If so, then you are invited to participate in one (or two) of the 26 free writing workshops that Gotham Writers' Workshop is offering on Tuesday and Wednesday, January 13 and 14, 2009.

These one-hour sessions will introduce you to the Gotham faculty and give you a glimpse of how our classes work. While we're at it, we'll try to help you discover your muse and make good on your New Year's resolution to start writing. Join us!
