Mission Statement
The 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 by enhancing the elements of craft and fostering
creativity. Our goal is to nurture and encourage not only aspiring writers
but also those already established writers who seek motivation and direction
by offering 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, we offer a unique opportunity for students to not only hone their
craft and sharpen their communication skills, but also learn from professional
writers about how to get work published or performed. We are also dedicated
to public service by offering various classes and workshops that meet
the needs of the community.
