Ve taken two online courses with gww and thoroughly enjoyed, if not relished, the first one (romance writing).

If you take this course with the intention of writing about highly traumatic circumstances from your past, please ensure that you've collected enough emotional space between yourself and the perpetrators or else this course won't work for you.

I took classes in paris with truby and mckee, nothing came is the place to start writing. Took the screenwriting i class this winter, and thoroughly enjoyed instructor, cc webster, was very knowledgeable and provided excellent critique, tips and encouragements. Am looking forward to take screenwriting ii - with cc again if at all possible. Took a screenwriting workshop a few years ago and really loved the class and the feed back.

Keep yourself together, fellow writer, as you jump into the beautiful creative storm that is a gotham speculative fiction class! For the past few years, i'd already been writing poetry on my own, sparingly but successfully. As one might imagine, however, by that point i had no appetite for a potential repeat of what i'd just endured - and therefore have focused upon writing independently, without an instructor, ever since then. As any creative writer knows, success in the craft depends upon the willingness to accept a good deal of vulnerability. I have taken playwriting ii, fiction ii and screenwriting i with gotham and after each class, i have walked away with not only 1-2 new projects, but also connections with teachers and other students that have helped leverage my commitment and motivation to keep writing. In addition, i realized that adding one creative and enjoyable weekly class to a busy schedule makes stressful parts of life somehow easier to handle. I highly recommend gotham to anyone who either wants to learn the basics of a certain genre, get feedback on an existing project, or start something totally new. My writing is much more entertaining, coming from comments of the few readers who read my is the best endorsement i can give; i am signing up for the next class. I was an english major in college and have taken a lot of writing classes, but stopped writing about 10 years ago and wanted a gentle re-entry that would work my atrophied writing muscles without being too taxing. Had been looking at taking the creative non fiction intro course for a few months - i finally went for it, and i was really pleased with it. I've taken a number of writing workshops, since that's my occupation, and i felt this one was really well constructed and thought out in terms of the structure and the syllabus, and what they were trying to achieve. Also - they have a really interesting and diverse course selection for different areas of writing, which i liked.

This is the only writing class i've ever taken so i can't compare it to anything but i say yes! I thought the class was very well organized with each week introducing a different type of non-fiction writing. We talked about the elements of each type of writing and then we discussed examples of when its done well. I've taken several one-day intensives and 10-week courses, including songwriting, memoir, screenplay writing, children's book writing, and a few others. It felt casual yet structured--a credit to our instructor, who guided the discussions and encouraged everyone to the kind of thing to kickstart the creative juices.

But she's also a writing & life coach so she just gave so much practical information and suggestions for how to keep inspired and keep writing - that's my biggest problem - carving out time to write and being disciplined about n writing with polly bresnick - polly gave us great writing exercises and went over a lot of the concepts that good storytelling has - writing vs showing, how to come up with non cliched phrases, conflict, etc. Polly was very supportive and ntary films with dave seigerman - i really really enjoyed this class, there wasn't really much 'writing' involved but the focus of the class was the storytelling aspect of documentary films and the process you go through when you are making one. But mostly if you are a novice or you just want to get into writing, going to these one-day intensives is great. Everybody thinks the same thing and honestly, you just have to start writing and get inspired and these workshops are a great way to do that. I found these errors very inappropriate in a basic grammar workshop setting, as they result in a foundation built on shaky or incorrect y, the instruction should have differentiated between what grammar rules were to be used in a 'creative writing' setting vs a formal writing setting.

Most of the students were attending to improve their grammar on the job but it was clear the professor was teaching a creative grammar style not appropriate for work.

Have taken 2 one day intensive workshops with gotham and went to one of their free workshops. I also took the dialogue writing one day intensive with michael eldridge, it was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about dialogue writing that was all new to me and michael was a really engaging teacher and lecturer. For those of you who have never taken any workshops, you basically come in and discuss certain concepts and then you do writing exercises based on those concepts. For the one day intensives, i think you get to do at least 5 or 6 writing 's a mixed group that attends these workshops - you have novices like myself who are just getting started in writing or only do it in their free time. I've seen previous reviews and i can see how if someone is already writing and familiar with the basic concepts it is probably frustrating to sit through one of these workshops. But for me, i'm just getting started in writing, i write in my spare time, and i just needed a) some inspiration/motivation and b) some discipline, forcing myself to get some things down on paper. Plus i didn't really take any courses in college or grad school in writing so i'm one of those people who really did need certain writing concepts explained to me. I heard some terrible writing as well so you have to be prepared for that too. I am still in touch with writers from my dialogue writing workshop, we exchanged emails and started a group that meets on a regular basis so it's also a great way to meet other writers and you are just getting started like me, or a veteran writer, i would recommend the one day intensives.
