New York Writers Workshop is an alliance of experienced, professional writers of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, plays and screenplays who live and teach in New York City. Our mission is to serve a growing community of aspiring writers with workshops that teach craft, foster creativity, and enable writers, no matter their background or experience, to achieve their full writing potential.
New York Writers Workshop nurtures and encourages not only aspiring writers but also established writers who seek motivation and direction. We mentor, consult, and travel, and we offer a wide range of courses on beginning, intermediate and advanced levels in various disciplines, including short fiction, the novel, poetry, non-fiction, memoir, screenplay and playwriting.
As working writers teaching writing classes, we offer a unique opportunity for students to hone their craft and sharpen their communication skills, and also to learn from professional writers about how to get work published or performed. We are dedicated to public service, and we engage in regular community outreach activities.
