MARGARET IRBY
WRITING WORKSHOPS

New York City Writing Trip

Jolt your creativity in New York City! The Big Apple, Gotham or Center of the Universe, no matter what you call it, is the boldest, hippest, richest, and most diverse of places.

Wherever you go you won't be far from a street, a bar, a store or a historical site referenced in a classic work of literature, cinema or art. In New York you’ll encounter colorful characters, evocative settings and unusual experiences--raw material for fiction.

Autumn is a wonderful time to visit New York. There are more cultural events than at any other time of year. And you can witness the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, an annual tradition since the 1920s. Let New York inspire you while you expand your craft. The instruction, writing, sights and new friends will stimulate and delight you during a memorable week!
